 Did You Know?
Did you know that the average human being has 206 bones in our body, making up the human skeleton. What holds the skeleton together? Intricate yet fragile joints help us in everything we do, from eating to walking to simply standing up. Our joints support everything we do. Yet do you realize that the skeleton, on average, makes up 18 percent of our weight? So on a 200 pound human being, 36 pounds of bones has to support the weight of 164 pounds! It's no wonder our joints can become sore over time. Have you tried working out before with weights that are a little too heavy for you? What happens? Our muscles start to hurt the next day! Same thing happens to our joints each and every day as they support us through our daily activities, and one day it'll say " I just can't take this anymore." You'll realize the day has come when everyday activities you do start to become painful.
Joint pain causes sufferers $2800 per treatment and about $5700 annually. Why do people spend so much on surgery and walking devices? Because the products they try over the counter don’t work. Most of them are created outside the US by manufacturers who overlook the quality of the product. Simply because a joint product claims to have Glucosamine and Chondroitin does not necessarily mean it will work. There has to be the right combination of ingredients, formulated the right way, so that the right steps are properly taken to heal the joints.
 Causes
Joint pain is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a “cushion” between the bones of the joints.
Joint pain is mostly related to aging. With aging, the water content of the cartilage increases, and the protein makeup of cartilage degenerates. In advanced cases, there can be a total loss of cartilage cushion between the bones of the joints. Loss of the cartilage cushion causes friction between the bones, leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility. Inflammation of the cartilage can also stimulate new bone outgrowths to form around the joints.
Relief
Can we ever find relief with joint pain? Yes we can. Here are some simple things you can do that will help:
- Cryotherapy on the first day of pain. Apply ice every hour, for 15 minutes.
- Hydrotherapy and aromatherapy are excellent adjuncts when it comes to joint pain relief.
- Massage the affected area with a topical menthol rub or essential oils to ease the pain.
- Exercise to ease pain and lose weight.
- Natural medication like JF7 Joint Formula can help to rebuild joints by first fighting the inflammation in the joints. Once the inflammation is gone, the natural ingredients thicken the synovial fluid to help ease the pain from the friction between the bones.
