The Importance of Joint Health
We put our bodies through the ringer. Whether it was years of little league, time spent running around the block or Thursday morning spin classes, your body has been with you through it all. As we get older, discomfort in our joints tends to become more pronounced. Now is the time to slow joint discomfort.
What Should You Do?
Start off by examining your diet and lifestyle to see what could be causing inflammatory effects on your body. A diet rich in refined carbohydrates may lead to an increased amount of inflammatory effects. Some examples of these refined carbohydrates are white breads and pastries. Foods high in sugar can cause inflammation as well.
How Foods Affect Your Joints
When foods are over processed they release inflammatory messengers that can trigger chronic inflammation. When you eat nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables, they can help your body fight against symptoms of inflammation. Enrich your diet in dark, leafy greens. The vitamin-K in these veggies help curb inflammation. Though refined carbohydrates can pose negative effects on joint health, you don’t have to cut out carbohydrates all together. Whole grains such as brown rice and oatmeal are rich in fiber that help fight inflammation.
Our bodies are unique and work differently. Cutting out these foods may not be enough to dramatically change your joint health. Implement a joint health supplement into your diet. NutraMetrix Prime™ Joint Support Formula by Isotonix® combines the best components of anti-inflammatory ingredients to help you feel your best. Glucosamine, Pycnogenol and hyaluronic acid provide scientific evidence in reducing inflammation. Glucosamine specifically is dense in joint cartilage and promotes the normal production of synovial fluid, which lubricates joints and regenerates cartilage. This isotonix solution allows the body to spend less time breaking it down. Isotonix allows for maximum absorption because the body has less work to do.
Instead of sitting back and waiting for our joints to ache, let’s take a proactive approach with diet and exercise so we can keep doing what we love and feel amazing doing it.
