Do you have arthritis?
If so you're not alone. 66,000,000
people do almost 1 in 3 adults.
Arthritis is second only to heart diesase as a cause of work
disability. Besides limiting daily activities arthritis can
cause many lifestyle issues. You may assume there's nothing
you can do that will help. Don't believe that.
There are steps
including supplements and lifestyle changes you can make to
significantly improve your life.
Your doctor may ask a few of these questions:
* Where is your pain * When does it hurt * How long have you had
it * Any swelling or redness * Family history of arthritis
He may wish to perform a movement test and have some x-rays
taken.
Inflammation from your arthritis is a significant source of
pain.
Your physician may recommend OTC medicines or a
prescription.
You should be aware of alternatives such as natural supplements
and physical exercise.
Nettle Leaf Extract This supplement appears to suppress
TNF-alpha and IL-1-beta.
Nettle leaf may inhibit inflammatory
cascade in rheumatoid arthritis. Also joint protection is
assisted with nettle leaf.
MSM: Msm contain Sulfur and anti-inflammatory properties
Glucosamine Sulfate/Chondroitin: Reduces jonit pain and may
substantially rebuild cartilage. This may take a while to see
results.
Fish Oil: DHA, EPA and Omega 3 found in quality fish oil.
Reduces painful inflammation and may promote joint lubrication.
Look for a high quality, low mecrury supplements like Carlson's
fish oils.
Flax seed is another practical choice.
Try high quality multivitamins such as Purity's Perfect Multi
Super Greens.
Vitamin E: Use a natural product like Vitamin E-8 daily.
Cherries: Recent research has shown that tart cherries contain
powerful antioxidants that may help relieve the pain of
arthritis and gout and also protect the body against
cardiovascular disease and inhibit cancer tumors.
There is also a cherry capsule that's very good named Fruit
Advantage.
Exercise: Exercise is importnat not only for arthritis but your
overall health.
Weight Control: Even modest weight loss will bring healthy
results. Strat slow if you need to, and then try to reach your
target weight.
Stress: Ah Stress. This one unnecessarily causes us so many
health cnocerns.
It practically seems to be the source of most
health issues.
There are many options to help deal with excess srtess. Exercise
is one of these. Even if you begin by wakling to the corner and
back, then around the block pretty soon you will be walking a
mile or more.
Other things you may consider are Yoga, Meditation, Music and a
new hobby.
There is a rather unique procedure I came across a while back
called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT for short. This works
on the principles of Acuprsesure and Acupuncture.
Wait! Don't let that intimidate you.
Even though EFT is a
remarkable tool it is actulaly fast to grasp. I personally have
seen significant results.
You won't have to poke yourself at
all. It just basically requires limited number of words and some
tapping on certain key points.
So don't give up. There are many options for you to vastly
improve your health.
