Health Conditions : Joint Health

Although they’re often associated with the ageing process, joint, bone and muscle problems can develop at any age. In fact, living a healthy lifestyle with plenty of strenuous exercise can actually be a risk factor as we bend, stretch and physically push our bodies. As such, the right joint health supplements can be vital as we age. Also, understanding that our bodies change as we age, and therefore may require a different type of exercise, and reducing impact for example on joints such as the knees can be helpful. women often notice joints become an issue post menopause. This is because as oestrogen helps to reduce inflammation. As levels decline, inflammation may increase, causing discomfort and menopause- related arthritis. Natural sources of oestrogen can help, and small changes in the diet can help. Eating foods such as soybeans, or foods produced from them, such as tofu and miso, are a great source of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens mimic oestrogen in the body by binding to oestrogen receptors. Flax seeds may also help.
