How to Protect and Promote Strong Active Joints
Sports, outdoor activities, an active lifestyle and the creeping onset of old age all have an impact on joint health. Injuries, illness, infection and an unhealthy lifestyle can cause mild to severe joint pain.
By premeditating the probability of hip, knee, ankle and elbow injuries, we can go a long way in preventing inflammation-related joint pain with an active joint protection program.
Although our bodies are remarkably resilient, wear and tear does occur. Follow the easy tips below and you’re likely to live a long, healthy, active life free of nagging joint pain.
Buchu Joint Health Supplements
Supplementing your daily diet with a joint health product is a wise preventative measure. Buchu Joint Health Capsules are one of the products that have proved to be highly effective in beefing up the daily joint health regimen.
Given a firm thumbs up by sports stars and scientists alike, Buchu Joint Health Capsules contain organically harvested oil from the buchu herb, an indigenous plant that grows exclusively in the Western Cape. Recent research points to the efficacy of the product as a powerful natural anti-inflammatory that promotes healthy joints and connective tissue, aids in the reduction of joint pain and even accelerates the joint recovery process.
Watch your Weight
Too much body weight increases the pressure on your joints. Cut the kilos if you want to perform optimally or prevent the onset of arthritis and other crippling joint disorders. The easiest way of dropping unwanted kilograms is to exercise regularly, but focus on activities that are light on the weight-bearing joints - yoga, swimming, cycling or hiking.
Eat Right
Eating a balanced diet is a pleasurable preventative measure that not only maintains optimum body weight but provides all the essential nutrients, anti-oxidants and fatty acids necessary for peak condition. Fill your face as often as you can with fruit and raw vegetables that contain oodles of anti-oxidants, enjoy fish rich in inflammation-busting omega-3 fatty acids at least three times a week and avoid the excessive intake of alcohol - it is known to exacerbate joint pain.
Hot or Cold Baths
A piping hot bath soothes away muscular pain by dilating the blood vessels and stimulating blood circulation, while at the same time the heat actually changes the sensation or feeling of pain, making it far more tolerable. A cold bath or ice pack, on the other hand, reduces inflammation by constricting the blood vessels, thereby inhibiting the onset of pain and easing the functionality of the joint.
