How will the Joint Health Support Pack help me? Many people suffer from joint and problems become more common with increasing age. It is not essential however that problems develop. Many of the issues that develop around joint pain and degeneration can be prevented or at least alleviated by making ongoing, good lifestyle choices. A good and well-balanced diet inevitably plays a part. A diet which is high in acid forming foods can have a detrimental effect on health at all levels in the long term. Acidic wastes can become lodged in joints, causing inflammation and degeneration. This can also lead to degeneration in the skeleton if sufficient alkaline minerals are not in the diet to buffer out these acids, as the bones are the biggest source of alkaline minerals in the body with their calcium deposits. In addition, stress puts the nervous system into an acid forming mode, and long term stress can have a devastating effect. Don’t forget, negative emotions such as anger when it is suppressed can also have an impact, as has been clearly demonstrated by studies. If you feel it, let it out. Many people develop joint problems as a result of carrying too much weight. This puts additional pressure on the joints and leads to more wear and tear, as well as free radical damage and inflammation. Obese people rarely have a good diet so this contributes also. Keen sportspeople often find that their joints become problematic also as they sustain long term damage from the activity. Anyone who feels they might be at risk of joint problems, be it from lifestyle or family predisposition, should consider taking supplements which aid the joints and skeleton generally as a preventative measure. Everflex and Skeletal Health both contribute to keeping the joints strong and healthy and minimising wear and tear. Antioxidants such as Zambroza can help offset free radical damage and Omega 3 has been shown to help joints by supporting cartilage and reducing inflammation. SKELETAL STRENG
