All about caring for the body and joints

Constantly support the “nutrition” of the cartilage tissue of the joints

"Feeding" cartilage tissue will prevent the destruction of cartilage. To do this, first of all, it is necessary to provide the joints with the main structural components of cartilage - chondroitin and glucosamine. Chondroitin and glucosamine are recognized in world practice as the #1 remedy for preserving articular cartilage. To fill their daily need for food, you need to eat several kilograms of jelly every day. But there is another way. The maximum dosages of these substances are contained in the natural remedy "Honda Forte" (500 mg of chondroitin and 500 mg of glucosamine in each tablet). Taking just one tablet a day helps to enhance the regeneration of cartilage tissue, which allows the joints to withstand increased loads and maintain cartilage tissue in a normal state.

The chief doctor of the diagnostic center, Igor Diaghilev, told how to care for the joints:

As a practicing doctor with a long experience, I recommend paying maximum attention to diseases of the joints, which seriously impair the quality of life and often serve as a signal of more serious health problems. The main principle: moderate loads.

If you work in an office, take an active 10-minute break after every hour of work. At the same time, movements of the arms, legs, back, neck are useful, and during leisure hours - walks, outdoor activities, playing sports, swimming. It should be remembered: this is not about sports achievements, but about health-improving exercises. Excess hurts.

Mistakes that negatively affect the joints:

Lack of calcium and vitamin C. Sufficient calcium is important to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, notes the Arthritis Foundation. This substance is found in dairy products, leafy greens and nuts. Vitamin C, in turn, is necessary for the production of collagen, which contributes to the formation of cartilage in the joints, and also reduces inflammation. The vitamin is found in berries, citrus fruits, and also in red pepper;

Mistakes that negatively affect the joints:

Too much caffeine. This product restricts cartilage and bone growth, which may increase the risk of osteoarthritis. At the same time, about 2 cups of coffee per day or less, on the contrary, supports joint health;

Few fruits/vegetables and a lot of processed foods in the diet. Vegetables and fruits are rich in anti-inflammatory substances that have a beneficial effect on the entire body. Cherries, for example, reduce the symptoms of gout and arthritis, and dark green leafy vegetables reduce inflammation. And processed meats, sugary drinks, refined carbohydrates, and fatty foods have a negative impact on the joints;

Long sitting or standing. Improper sitting posture can increase stress on the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. A more sedentary lifestyle is also associated with an increased risk of hip or knee osteoarthritis. Prolonged standing causes stiffness in the joints of the spine, hips, knees and feet, which reduces mobility and, over time, causes damage to the tendons and ligaments.

Arthrosis of the joints

A change in the cartilaginous tissue of the joint, when a sufficient amount of joint fluid is not produced and the cartilage "dries out", as a result of which, when moving in places of friction, a focus of inflammation is formed. Arthrosis can manifest itself at any age, more often after trauma and heavy prolonged loads.

Primary arthrosis - occurs suddenly and is a consequence of a failure in the ratio of synthesis and degeneration in cartilage tissue and affects cartilage in many joints. They are destroyed.

The causes of secondary arthrosis are disturbances in metabolic processes: blood flow, lymph flow, salt metabolism.
