Heal your joints: 5 surprising facts

Your joints are your life. Their health and flexability are important if you want to be able to move until old age. If you want to walk, run, be independent of the help of others, the health of your joints should be important to you.

You lead a healthy lifestyle, move a lot, have a healthy diet, yet you experience pain in your joints. You may start questioning yourself: am I doing the right things? Let’s check what do your joints like or dislike.

1. Human joints do not like going down the stairs. Walking up the stairs is great for them and for the muscles. It helps your heart too. But going down the stairs strains joints, especially the knee joints. If you live in a block of flats, and have painful joints, use an elevator.
2. They love Vitamin C. This specific vitamin helps synthesize collagen, which builds your joints. It helps regenerate them after damage. Your body uses collagen on a daily basis, and the new supplies need to be delivered daily. You will find it in sauerkraut, goji berries, citrus fruits, parsley.
3. They don’t like meat, sweets, strong coffee. This diet creates adverse purines in the body. (purines occur in the food we eat, especially rich in protein, and are also created by our body). Impared purines metabolism leads to excessive accumulation of uric acid, which in turn leads to urolithiasis and gout (“Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by recurrent attacks of a red, tender, hot, and swollen joint” Wikipedia). Gout if left untreated leads to joint stiffness and pain. Limit the consumption of strong coffee, meat and sweets.
4. Caries worsen their condition. Anaerobic bacteria that form tooth decay, reach the bloodstream and then travel into the heart, joints, kidneys, and liver. As a consequence the body begins the defense itself and immune response starts. Not only harmful bacteria are attact, but also own organs. Among the many diseases that result from caries is arthritis.
5. They cause headaches. Pressure in the temples might be a result of difficulties in the joints in your head. It is often caused by extended stress, which increses muscle tension, which leads to joint disorders. That is why when you experience headaches on a regular basis, you may consider visiting a dentist or physiotherapist.

Our bodies are interconnected machines, in which one part is closely connected to the other parts. If one fails, the other suffer as well. Exercise, sleep on the correct surface, organic bed, organic pillows (like our most loved organic buckwheat hulls mattress), breathing, calmness, good relationships with people, trust, hope and love, pure water (read “Water do you know its powerful health secret?”)

Even if you experience pain already, you can change that. Just slowly and steadily apply changes, start with pure water, healthier food, and positive thoughts. Also read our blog, as it is full of good thoughts and love. Yes, fill your body and thoughts with lovely throughts, full of respect for yourself.

We send you the best wishes and thanks for your time
