How to keep your joints healthy
Helping our joints function well is a matter of combining several key nutrients, so that the body has the variety of tools it needs to build, re-build, and repair. If there is already a compromise, then additional nutrients are necessary for helping to heal inflammation, arthritis, or other common symptoms of poor joint health.
What are joints made of???
Joints are lined with a substance called cartilage. "Cartilage is composed of a variety of biomolecules including proteins, water, and small molecules that help reduce friction and keep joints healthy. One of those proteins is collagen, which makes up the bulk of the cartilage in your joints."
Maintaining the health of these "tough collagen fibers", or rebuilding them, is the 1st key to joint health.
Often poor immune systems can break down the natural barriers protecting the cartilege, allowing the body to be vulnerable to attack. Arthritis can be a common symptom that something is wrong, and inflammation and pain are the warning signs. Rhuemetoid Arthritis, an inflammatory autoimmune disease, is often the next step, if the issue is not dealt with.
Maintaining a healthy immune system is the 2nd key to joint health.
These 2 areas are easily managed with proper nutrition. When you give the body what it needs, it can rebuild and repair - and even prevent!
