The smoothie for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and high risk of the disease

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
3/4  cup grape
3/4 cup orange
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes. Set aside for cooling to room temperature)

1. Place tall ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis has encountered many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing the diminished quality of life of many elders.

Green Tea Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate(1)Grape(5) and Orange(10), may be next generation of pharmaceutical ingredients for reduced risk and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis due to their effects in suppressing autoimmunity. According to the joint studu lead by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), EGCG significantly suppressed T cell proliferation and relative frequencies of CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells and B cell subsets through mediated the immunoregulation(1).

In rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis, green tea treatment effectively normalized the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme of an important metabolic route (pentose monophosphate pathway) that are substantially modified by arthritis(2).

Dr. Ramadan G and colleagues in the expression of green tea used for treatment against inflammatory diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis suggested that the potent of green tea in reduced inflammtory expression may be due to its inhibition of proinflammatory activities(3).
Furthermore, green tea extract (GTE) aslo was found effectively in regulating chemokine production and chemokine receptor expression in human RA synovial fibroblasts and rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), through expression of anti inflammatory cytokines pathways(4).

Intake of grape with abundant quercetin, resveratrol and procyanidins may be able to modulate chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease,....(5). 

Resveratrol is best known to consist significant anti-inflammatory effects on AA rats, which may be associated with the reduction of COX-2 and PGE2 inflammatory mediators(8)..

According to the Hyogo College of Medicine, resveratrol induces apoptosis MH7A human rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells by activating caspase-9( in apoptosis and cytokine processing) and the effector caspase-3(responsible for apoptosis execution) along mitochondrial disruption(6).

Vam3, a derivative of resveratrol was found to interact with spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) which plays a crucial role in adaptive immune receptor signalling, according to the joint study lead by the Peking Union Medical College, in extracellular antigen-induced crosslinking of type of antibody in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis(7).

Orange is a species of Citrus Sinensis, belong to the family Rutaceae and native to the Southeast Asia. Orange is round citrus fruits with finely-textured skins, orange in color and one of most popular fruits in the world. Chronic intake of citrus fruits is found to associate to lower RA risk(10)

According to the Iwaki Meisei University, Orange flavanone naringin showed effectively in inhibit the inflammatory responses in mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model for RA(9).
In collagen-induced arthritic mice, nobiletin found abundantly in orange and other citrus fruits effectively interferes with gene expression of ADAMTS-4 and -5(inflammatory regulated enzymes ), and thereby prevents cartilage destruction in CIA mice(11).

Taking altogether, people who are at increased of Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) due to family history, gene mutation,....should drink at least one cup daily and people with Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive and liver toleration.

Change life style and diet pattern are also recommended.
