Rebuilding Joints Naturally Using Diet and Supplements

When the temperature drops, we often feel it in our joints. Cold weather makes it harder for achy joints to get moving and easier for old nagging pains to recur.

Instead of taking over-the-counter pain medications that may cause unwanted stomach and liver problems, seek to rebuild your joints naturally this winter with supplements that are proven to naturally repair cartilage.

Age doesn’t have to be the primary cause of achy joints, but an older individual may experience more joint pain than a younger one.

If you suffered an injury years ago that never completely healed, you may experience some degree of joint pain in this area. Sleeping on the wrong mattress or in the wrong position may cause you to wake up achy.

Inflammation of the joint in the form of osteoporosis or arthritis may also cause unpleasant pain. In rare cases, joint pain may be a sign of a degenerative disease.

Many over-the-counter medications are available to help cope with joint pain. But injections and medications may come with their own list of side effects, including stomach ulcers, liver damage and dependency.

Many people who are seeking help through physical therapy often drop out because it’s too painful for their joints. Luckily, there are natural forms of alternative treatments available to help you cope with the pain in a safer manner.

Collagen is an exciting recent discovery made by those who suffer from achy joints. Until recently, most people were aware that collagen was needed for skin health. But several studies have shown its effectiveness in rebuilding joints and cartilage naturally to reduce pain and increase mobility.

In fact, collagen may be the only nutrient scientifically proven to do so.

Collagen is the main structural unit of cartilage tissue, so it makes sense to supplement with it if you’re looking for natural cartilage repair.

Results from a 2016 study published in The Eurasian Journal of Medicine showed that patients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated with a combination of collagen and acetaminophen for three months reported better control of their pain than patients who treated with acetaminophen alone.

Several other studies have shown that cartilage supplementation may also have positive effects in treating early onset rheumatoid arthritis.

A study published in Arthritis and Rheumatism showed that positive effects were associated with patients who were given collagen even at low doses. The study also found that collagen was a safe and effective treatment method for joint pain as no side effects were observed in patients.

These findings were supported by both a 2009 study and a 2001 study showing positive associations between collagen supplementation and rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Another study published in Arthritis and Rheumatism found that collagen was effective in reducing arthritic pain even when administered in low doses.

Collagen has additionally been shown to reduce inflammatory cell infiltration in knee joints, decrease pain and tenderness in joints and reduce achy joints due to morning stiffness.

Another great way to alleviate morning joint stiffness is by exercising! See our article here on easy tips for incorporating exercise into your daily routine without even knowing it.

Joint pain caused by arthritis and osteoporosis is often brought on by inflammation of the joints. Your diet plays a large role in how well your body responds to inflammation.

An improper diet can also be the reason why your body is experiencing inflammation in the first place.

In addition to supplementing with collagen, you may also want to incorporate more alkalising fruits and vegetables into your diet to naturally flush inflammatory toxins from your joints.

Vitamins and minerals are an important part of any treatment plan to naturally rebuild joints and repair cartilage. In place of highly refined sugar and processed foods, focus on green leafy vegetables, berries and other fruits to help naturally boost a healthy immune system capable of fighting off inflammation that may otherwise attack your joints.
