Natural Therapy Help With Arthritis

Natural Therapy Help With Arthritis

wise to check with a doctor if that would be appropriate for you.

That being said each of your joints has a range of motion, although because of
restriction that may be less than when you were younger. However movement is
medicine. We were born to move. If you gently (by that I mean no pain) move your
joints through their natural ranges of motion then every day you are literally
lubricating and feeding the joints with nutritious synovial fluid. So Tip 1 is that I
recommend a daily joint mobility practice where you take all your main joints
through their natural ranges of motion, not just the painful ones, all of them. Yoga or
Tai-Chi in their gentler forms do utilise some of these movements, but I mean a
systematic full body joint health programme.

Tip 2 is to make sure that your diet is getting the right nutrients into your body and
hence your joints. There is a lot of information out there on supplements for joint
health and you can search for this yourself, but in my experience I have found the
following to be a good foundation.

Daily Multivitamin and Mineral
Omega 3-6-9 Mix
MSM / Glucosamine / Chondroitin mix

Tip 3 is to make sure to do some activity every day. A walk, swim or cycle if you
can. Exercise in other words ideally more than 15 minutes a day fills the body with a
beneficial cocktail of natural feel good chemicals like serotonin and endorphins.
Endorphins are the bodies natural pain killing chemicals that also stimulate the
immune system by activating killer white blood cells called T lymphocytes. There is
also evidence of postponing ageing. Serotonin has been called "the happy chemical,"
that your body naturally produces. Some people supplement with 5htp for a natural
anti-depressant without the side-effects of prescription medication. Ask yourself why
in every modern sheltered housing complex for the elderly there is a gym or at least
activity classes?
