Joint pain is most often experienced in your feet, knees, lower back, hands, and elbows. There are basically 10 main causes of joint and knee pain.
Jarring & compression. Some forms of movement heavily jar the knees, hips and lower back, often compressing a joint beyond its normal load-bearing capacity or range.
Misalignment. Most people have experienced landing badly or twisting a joint at some point in their lives. Some sports regularly place extreme stresses on our bodies.
Over-extension and Twisting. This is frequently seen in sports such as Tennis and Karate when a joint is stretched beyond its normal limits damaging the tendons or joints.
Poor posture and muscular weakness. Much knee pain and lower back pain is caused by a combination of poor posture such as slouching in a chair at work all day, coupled with weak lower back muscles.
Overuse. Repetitive movements over time can lead to increased wear and tear of the joints. If the joints are also misaligned, this can occur fairly quickly.
Lack of movement / Underuse. This is where your muscles and bones don’t get enough exercise.
Inflammation. Anyone with Hayfever has experienced first hand when inflammation goes into overdrive. Rheumatoid arthritis is very similar where the body over responds to a stimulus and starts attacking your joints resulting in a swollen & painful experience!
Ageing. As we age, our bodies are less efficient at absorbing nutrients. Also, wear and tear is multiplied over time.
Dietary deficiencies (This is far more common than you might think and is a massive problem in the western world)
Most people mistakenly think that getting joint pain is down to them getting older. However, there is much more to this and fortunately, lots can be done about this.
Pain is generally a warning sign from your body that needs to be heeded. Acting quickly can make a real difference to the pain getting worse. Left untreated, your mobility and quality of life can reduce which no one wants!
There is a lot of evidence that shows that your body can naturally repair your joints and this process goes on continually. However, this depends on the right conditions being in place. Firstly, your body needs certain nutrients to support the healing and repair process. As we get older, our bodies are less efficient in absorbing these, so it needs a helping hand to get optimal levels of nutrition.
There is another massive problem often called the “Western Diet”. Over farming and the use of fertilizers has led to our foods being deficient in many of the core minerals that we need to stay healthy. It is simply not possible to maintain optimal health without some form of supplementation.
There are several drinks that can easily be made at home which can really help to remove or stop joint pain. These are also inexpensive to prepare.
Effectively, there is a set of minerals, vitamins and enzymes that help to restore these optimal levels of nutrition to support healing.
The core 3 vitamins are:
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin K2
These all help your joints and bones healing and support bone density.
For minerals, the following 2 have been shown to be critical:
• Boron
• Magnesium
The final category is enzymes. These are catalysts or compounds which either start or boost chemical reactions in your body. A famous scientist discovered that Enzymes are essential for optimal health and went on to show that the right ones were very effective in fighting cancer and arthritis back as long ago as the 1950s. The key one to quickly relieve inflammation and swelling associated with joint pain is from Pineapple and called Bromelain.
I have experimented with the best ways to take these nutrients to get quick results. It seems to work best with a mixture of juice and a couple of natural supplements. Many supplements are artificial or synthetic and do not work as well. It is best to take these in a natural form.
Ingredients:
A fresh Pineapple. (Do not use canned Pineapple or Pineapple juice for this. These tend to have added sugar, preservatives or have been cooked, killing the useful enzymes. Add a couple of slices to the mix.
Orange Juice. (Again look for one which contains the pulp as this has more nutrients and far less sugar. Look for no added sugar or dodgy additives) You can even juice a fresh orange for the best effect.
A stick of Celery, preferably Organic. Celery helps break down inorganic calcium which builds up in our joints from eating dairy products. This causes spurs, decreased circulation and clicking noises. Chinese medicine holds that Celery is also good for your sex drive!
Cinnamon. This can be used as a stick or powder. Add about half a teaspoonful to the blender. Cinnamon is a powerful anti-inflammatory and can help reduce joint pain.
Rolled Oats. Cock this in a saucepan with a little water. Usually, 3 or 4 minutes seems to do the trick. Then add to your blender. They help to increase the production of Nitric Oxide in your body, this helps to improve the circulation to your joints helping to better deliver nutrients and flush out toxins. Although they are carbohydrate, they contain very few calories or sugar.
Local, raw honey. This helps to make the mixture sweeter to taste. Small amounts of raw honey are good for you and contains natural anti-inflammatory agents as well as being anti-bacterial.
Blend these in a juicer to form a nice smoothie. It will normally keep for a couple of days in the fridge.
Supplements:
For Vitamin D3, I would use a commercial spray product which put under the tongue as this has the best absorbency. Only use D3. This is the form that occurs naturally in your body. The other type of Vitamin D is synthetic and much less effective.
Make sure that yours also contains K2. Vitamin D can cause calcification in your arteries and veins. However, the K2 stops this and helps improve your circulation. Joints are very dense structures that do not always get enough blood. K2 helps improve this.
Vitamin D should be around 3000iu in strength. This seems to work best for me, although you should take advice on what is suitable for you.
Boron is an essential mineral that greatly improves your bones and joints. Deficiency is common and linked to joint pain. Again, this is down to over-farming and modern food production methods. Boron is better taken in an ionic solution or in a chelated form. Have a rummage around Amazon to find a suitable formula. I have found a couple of drops of the Ionic solution can be dropped into the blender.
This smoothie should be taken twice a day for at least a week to start noticing results. Please feel free to let me know how you get on.
It is worth saying that this will help reduce pain, but you also will ultimately need to look at what is causing the problem. Getting optimal nutrition is very difficult currently. However, many forms of joint pain are also linked to sports, work, and exercises. The key to fixing and keeping the pain from recurring to get good nutrition and finding out if anything else is contributing to your pain.
