Since Arthritis is such a common plight for the elderly and even middle agers in their 40's and 50's, like myself, I thought it might be nice to shed a little light on this painful subject. Yes pain in more ways than one even to Fibromyalgia, Gout and Lupas sufferers I must address as well.
The term Arthritis comes from the Greek word ( athro-joint, and itis-inflammation ) therefore it is referred to as an inflammation of the joints or as is known in it's advanced stage, Osteoarthritis which is a degenerative form of joint disease.
Most arthrititis sufferers usually have pain due to inflammation of their joints in their backs, necks, knees, hips, feet, hands or any combination of joints simultaneously. There is more than one reason that the body breaks down as it does when we age besides just wear and tear of our joints, tendons, muscles and cartilages.
In females, arthritis is usually more prevalent than in males, due to an imbalance of reproductive hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Imbalance or changes in these hormone levels promote what is known as an "auto-immunity disorder". Auto-immunity is a condition whereby the immune system which normally wards off invaders of the body such as infections, viruses and free radicals actually turns on the body and attacks the bodies own tissues such as the skin, joints, liver, lungs and other organs.
Since auto-immunity characterizes an auto-immune disease featuring inflammation of different tissues, joints and muscles of the body, I must talk about the proteins necessary to keep the body healthy. Collagen is a natural protein which is the main protein for connective tissues of the body. It accounts for 6% of the weight of strong tendinous muscles and is necessary for building muscle tissue. Your body produces Collagen as well as vitamin D, yet with age and insufficient sunlight, your body slows down it's production of these 2 necessary nutrients and proteins.
Since the body naturally slows down with age, it is important to supplement what your body is lacking. I firmly believe that if you are not a juicer or do not eat lots of fruit to make sure you are taking, on a daily basis, Vitamins, C, D and E as supplements, otherwise you are not attaining the minimum daily requirements of these vitamins as suggested by Health Canada. And I don't mean that you can simply take lots of supplements in the morning and expect that it will provide your needs for the whole day. For example Vitamin C is a vitamin your body only uses when necessary and does not store it for later as it does fatty acids. That is why many health care professionals tell you to eat fruit at least 5 to 7 times per day. Your body goes through a tremendous amount of Vitamin C which is important to ward off many sickness's and diseases and keep a healthy immune system. Therefore you need to introduce fruits and vitamins at intervals during the day to maintain the balance your body needs. Most people take their supplements in the morning and that is it for the day. Well guess what soon as you go to the washroom half those supplements go down the toilet bowl and considering supplements is a multi-billion dollar industry that is a shame. We must space out our supplements like morning and a night or morning, noon and night.
Also make sure you are drinking lots of drinks that are full of anti-oxidants. Not only are anti-oxidants important to keep a healthy liver which is the filter of the body but also they are so important for the bloodstream. Drinks that are high in anti-oxidants are usually high in bioflavinoids and phytonutrients not to mention they give the blood oxygen which is so desperately needed. Much of the toxins and poisons you take in on a daily basis seep into the bloodstream causing several bodily infirmities.
Since I am on the subject of Anti-oxidants drinks, I must tell you my story how I stumbled onto MonaVie, a beverage drink I take regularly. A year ago I got Gout, and my friend Terry called me up and said, "Tom I haven't seen you for a couple weeks around town what's up?" I told him I had Gout ( a form of arthritis ) and I was in dire pain and could hardly walk. He said he will be right over and gave me a bottle of Mona Vie. He said take 2 ounces in the morning and 2 ounces at night. After three days of taking this beverage drink my Gout disappeared. The last time I had Gout 3 years prior it took 8 days for my Gout to go away after taking Allopurinol.I have seen a friend cured of Lupas from drinking this drink, another friend with Fibromyalgia starting using Monavie and within 3 months over 75 % of her pain from Fibromyalgia was gone.
I have seen many other success stories of people with Arthritis and after taking Monavie, most of their pain diappeared within months of drinking this drink. Feel free to check out my other articles on this subject. I am not saying that it is a miracle drink per say but it obviously gives the body certain nutrients it is lacking, like phytonutrients, bioflavinoids, oxygen and on and on we go. Before you purchase the product do some studying first.
