A Simple Drink To Cure Knee And Joint Pain

February 23, 2021 By tyfhvn

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.

Do Knee Sleeves Help With Knee Pain?

November 29, 2020 By Staff Writer

In this video, we are going to look at when a knee sleeve can be useful to stop knee pain and the various types.

Video Transcript

Your knees are one of the most vulnerable parts of your body.

Any injuries can range from being annoying through to completely stopping your life.

Knee injuries can be caused by a range of causes from inherited health problems, through injury, or your immune system being overactive, through to simply getting older.

Severe pain requires expert help and appropriate treatment to address the cause of your knee pain and to minimise the pain.

According to research published in the Journal of Strength and Condition research in 2012, mild to moderate pain can be helped via the use of knee sleeves.
These offer light assistance and the compression helps to increase circulation aiding the healing process.

They can also help to reduce the time you need to recover following your workout.

In addition, they can also be extremely useful when you are recovering from injury. Depending on your exact cause, they can help with stabilising your knee joint to avoid moving your knee beyond its natural limits. It may also help with maintaining your balance.

Another further benefit, was that mild compression can help to reduce pain. A study by Arthritis Research and Therapy in 2017 reported that they help reduce pain and help with a lack of joint stability associated with arthritis.

Arthritis is often associated with poor circulation so waste materials and toxins can well up in your knees triggering inflammation and stiffness. Compression sleeves help to improve the circulation gently helping to speed up recovery.

They are a remarkably simple solution if you have had a knee injury, helping to reduce the likelihood of further injury.

Types of Knee Sleeves

It is worth mentioning that the terms Knee Sleeves and Knee Braces often get used to describe sleeves. However, a sleeve is a light, thin fabric that is pulled up and over your knees. A brace, on the other hand, is used to restrict the movement of your knee, in a particular direction.

It is typically used for severe knee injuries, caused by twisting and overextension where the normal “groove” of the knee has been exceeded. Frequently, these are prescribed by a medical professional or therapist.

In this video, we are discussing sleeves rather than braces.

There are several specific uses for knee sleeves.

  1. Warming your knees.

By providing light compression of your knee, they act to warm the knee area. There are many reasons this can be useful. In sports where there is a lot of waiting between competition, these can help to keep the knees more mobile and flexible. Long queues in competitions and waiting for equipment at the Gym spring to mind….

Weightlifters frequently use sleeves for this purpose so that they can lift cleanly even after a long wait.

  1. Supporting your knee joints.

These types of sleeves tend to be thicker and typically use Neoprene between 5mm and 7mm to provide additional resistance. They can help to ensure that the knees stay in alignment and help to give confidence in more extreme movements such as heavy squatting and powerlifting.

It is worth saying that regular use of these sleeves can create a dependency. Often underlying weaknesses should be addressed by refining your alignment, training proper muscle memory, and strengthening the supporting ligaments and tendons. Overuse of a sleeve can make misalignment more difficult to fix.

  1. In some cases, the patella tendon can flick outwards when your knees are subjected to extreme loads. This causes a lot of pain in and behind the kneecap. Patella straps can help with this condition. These are a smaller, specialist form of sleeves.

There are a wide variety of knee sleeves available. It is important to select the one best suited to your circumstances. Make sure to carefully look at the description to check it is a match!

It is also important that the sleeves stay in place. When you have a shortlist, have a read through the reviews to check how other people have got on. These will also give you additional insight.

There is a big problem with fake reviews. My preference is to look for items which have hundreds of reviews. These are much more difficult to fake!

The material they are made from also have a bearing on their suitability. For powerlifting, features like breathability are less important than for a sport where you may sweat a lot over a match

I hope you find these tips from Steve’s Health Answers really useful and please let me know how you get on.

Knee Pain Due To Running: Causes and remedies

June 24, 2009 By Staff Writer

Knee pain due to running is caused by the relatively high impact of the feet landing on the ground and transmitting this shock through the knees. It can cause serious damage to the knee joints. Irritation of the tendons that attach your muscles to the bones can cause severe pain or swelling around the kneecap particularly when you are running, jumping or doing activities that require climbing long distances. This is the cause of a condition known as knee pain due to running especially in athletes such as long-distance runners and professional cyclists.

Keeping the various muscle groups in balance is important to long term knee function. Strong outer thigh muscles can overpower the muscles of your inner thigh, a consequence of this can be a dislocation of your kneecap causing the condition known as knee pain running as this creates friction and wear on your cartilage. If you ignore the symptoms put out by your knee in this stage it may even lead to osteoarthritis.

Are you at risk of knee pain due to running? The elderly and people with excess body weight and athletes need to pay particular attention to their knees. They have to take definite steps to protect their knees. Exercises may be useful for strengthening the joints and helping the muscles around your knee to work together more effectively reducing your risk of being affected by the condition.

When excessive pressure is exerted on the knee, the cartilage that is present around the kneecap swells and this is the first causative factor for the condition known as knee pain due to running. Strenuous exercises and continuous running over a long period may lead to pain in front of the knee. In the field of surgery, the greatest advances have been in joint replacement, keyhole surgery and the use of biomaterials like artificial ligaments. The advantage of artificial ligaments to be used to alleviate the suffering of people affected by knee pain due to this running condition is that no healthy tissue from elsewhere in your body is lost.

When knee pain occurs there will be a restriction on the movement of the knee. Pain may be experienced more intensely while walking up and downstairs as it becomes difficult to bend and straighten the knee. A physiotherapist may advise specific exercises that aim to strengthen the muscle groups that function as a support system and help to move the knee joint.
