Proper nutrition can be called one of the foundations of joint health. Food should contain a range of minerals that are needed for the formation of cartilage tissue.
In some cases, when degenerative disorders in the joints have already begun, it is recommended to take drugs containing chondroitin sulfate. This substance contributes to the retention of calcium in bone and cartilage tissues, and also has anti-inflammatory activity. Chondroitin sulfate is isolated from the cartilage tissue of animals and fish. You can also get it from dishes that are familiar in our diet, such as jellied meat, for example, ilets - that is, those that contain a concentrated decoction of cartilaginous tissue.
“For sore joints, I would also advise using magnetotherapy,” says Vladimir Merkulov, doctor of medical sciences, head of the children's trauma clinic at the Central Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics. - Exposure to a magnetic field can relieve pain, improve tissue nutrition and relieve swelling in many joint diseases.
Safe and harmless physiotherapy method is well tolerated, does not cause inconvenience, helps to reduce the amount of drugs, and improves the quality of life. Movement is equally important.
Physical activity is vital for healthy joints. The fact is that the articular, or synovial, fluid is produced and maintained in a liquid state during movement.
If your joints already hurt, then the nature and intensity of the load should be determined by a physiotherapy specialist or fitness trainer. But in any case, doctors advise everyone to walk for at least one and a half hours a day. Physical activity is extremely important not only for joints, but also for the functioning of all body systems as a whole.
