Dull pain in the knee, pulling in the shoulder, elbow sensitive to movement... We all know the feeling, don't we? But how can we help our joints? What steps can we take to avoid pain?
First of all, let's be clear from the outset: joint pain does not necessarily come with age.
For some, they appear much earlier, in their thirties. But there are older people who move like bullets.
If it's not too bad, with a little pampering and attention, the pain can be relieved and joint mobility can be maintained.
So what should we do?
Avoid eating foods that stimulate inflammatory processes! Instead, eat foods that inhibit them. It is best to eliminate white sugar and white flour from your diet! Including hidden sugars, pastries made from white flour. Eat as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible, which contribute to joint mobility. For example, avocados, wholemeal cereals and oilseeds have a good effect on cell-destroying free radicals because of their vitamin E content.
Sit up and stand up straight! Correct posture can prevent and relieve a lot of unpleasant joint pain. Pay particular attention to correct back, head and hand posture in front of the computer.
It's also very important not to overheat your joints. Even though we often don't pay enough attention to it and don't take it seriously, it can be very important to keep your joints from getting cold. Avoid staying in excessively cold conditions, as well as staying in cold climates on hot summer days. Although a little cold may not seem so bad at first, it can be very painful later on if you have a cold, inflamed joint.
Pay attention, our joints are giving us a signal! If it's just aching, if it's just aching, let's prevent a more serious problem! Start by using creams and balms containing herbs. They not only relieve pain, but also help cell regeneration and healing.
If you really want to help your joints, you should support them externally with a cream or balm, in addition to your diet. There are already several different products for this, but whatever you choose, aim for natural!
