Indications About Your Joint Health Will Be Available Early In Life.

By Morgen Jayasinghe


It would be wrong on your part to believe that you would have to wait until you grow older before you become prone to problems of the joints or for that matter, arthritis.

This may be the time though when exercise is most important. If we do not keep exercising daily our muscles and joints will tell us this by aching and hurting more and some days that may reuse to work at all. In order to help prevent this and other problems to our joints, it is important to keep exercising so we can continue to move and enjoy the activities we love for a long time to come.

"Bone and Joint Health", throughout our lives our bones and joints are constantly working and forming and growing. From the time we are born to age twenty, our bone formation is more than our bone loss. At age thirty we reach "peak bone mass" and our bones are larger and the most dense. After age thirty, we tend to have more bone loss than formation.

There are things that can be done to improve bone and joint health before a fracture occurs or other health conditions become a bigger concern. These things include: increasing the amount of calcium in your diet. Get plenty of Vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and other trace minerals in your diet, avoid excess amounts of alcohol and caffeine, quit smoking if you do, and avoid aluminum because this can displace calcium in the body.

Exercising is also very important for both bone and joint health. Some exercises that you could do include: walking, biking, aerobics, and weight-lifting. Doing weight bearing exercises helps the bones to become stronger, builds up muscles, and helps with balance which may help reduce falls and fractures.

Whether we're in our athletic prime or are feeling the effects of getting a bit older, taking supplements that are specifically designed to enhance our joint health simply makes sense.

Do not ever believe that the food you have is capable of providing you with the fatty acids which are essential to keep your joints healthy. In most cases, it has been noticed that people have a diet which does not help joint health at all. If you have been indulging in the wrong type of diets, you will do well to make changes immediately in order to keep your joints in good health.

Making sudden changes may not seem an easy task but will have to be done for the benefit of your body. One way of accomplishing this feat would be to add nutritional supplements, which will help aid the health of your joints.

Our joints may be the body's weak link, but using targeted nutrients can help us strengthen that link and ensure that our joints and soft tissues will continue to serve us for years to come.
