 You don't need to be old for joint protection to be relevant to you. Many people suffer from aches and pains in joints, bones and muscles and they can often feel worse in cold or damp weather. So don't lose your independence due to mobility problems. It's true that your joints will undergo a certain amount of wear and tear as you age, but treating the joints with care could keep them pain free. It's important to ensure that we maintain our joints well to keep them supple and flexible into old age. Regular exercise that doesn't place too much stress on joints is good for both bone and joint health but we should also ensure we're getting the correct nutrients.
Here are some quick tips from joint health specialists:
- A sufficient intake of minerals and vitamin C is important for the synthesis of healthy connective tissue. Minerals shown to give a positive impact are copper, zinc, manganese, and boron. One of the best ways to obtain a complement of these minerals is to add fresh nuts, seeds, and non-citrus fruits to the diet.
- Research shows that vitamin D, with its anti-inflammatory effect, may help protect your joints - and natural health products like Cell-fx are a soluble source of chondroitin sulphate, a critical building block of cartilage. Professional athletes are known to use this daily supplement to help reduce bone and joint pain.
- Regular exercise is the key in keeping connective tissue healthy, strong and supple. Research shows that people who exercise regularly experience 25% less muscle and joint pain in their old age than people who are less active. Isometrics, or resistance exercise, is recommended for strengthening a joint. It works by contracting the muscles surrounding the affected area, but with no movement at the joint.
- Flexibility and stretching exercises are vital to the maintenance and rebuilding of supple connective tissue. Strengthening the joint and connective tissue within its full range of motion is extremely important for maintaining pain free functionality.
- Take care of your joints already in younger age.
- Add enough minerals, vitamine C and vitemine D to your nutrition.
- Keep exercising regularly and also do some flexible and stretching exercises.
