Our joints are often overlooked… until they start causing discomfort. The cartilage that cushions our joints will naturally wear away over time from our day-to-day activities, but there are ways that we can guard our joints to keep them healthy for years to come. Read on to find out how!

A joint is the connection between 2 bones that allow you to bend, wiggle, turn and wave. When joints are healthy, the bones slide against each other without friction or pain. This is possible because smooth tissue called cartilage and synovium and a lubricant called synovial fluid cushion the joints so that our bones do not rub against each other. However, increasing age and engaging in activities that cause extra pressure to our joints such as carrying of heavy weights, bad posture and injury can cause additional wear and tear.

Healthy joints are important to help us stay mobile as we age. Here are some tips on how we can safeguard our joints to keep us active and mobile through the years.

Tips to keep joints strong and flexible

Watch the weight

Keeping your weight within the healthy range not only improves your overall health but also helps take the pressure off your weight bearing joints. Think about it, all your body weight is supported by your knees, hips and back; so the heavier you are, the more wear and tear you put to your joints. Research has shown that with every pound gained, a person puts four times more pressure on the knees.1 Lessen wear and tear on your joints by shedding some pounds.

Exercise

It might sound contrary when you want to be protecting your joints, but lack of movement and exercise can actually lead to stiffness in joints. People who remain glued to their chair all day long have a higher risk of experiencing joint discomfort. If you are working in the office, don’t forget to take breaks in between work to stand, stretch or take short walk to increase movement in your joints.

Consider low-impact exercises like walking, cycling, swimming, resistance training or aerobics exercise, that can get your heart rate up without exerting too much pressure on your joints. Exercise can also help you lose the extra pounds and maintain a healthy weight.

Perfect your posture

Proper posture can reduce any added pressure to your joints and support the surrounding muscle. Ensure that you have good, straight posture when sitting and standing to protect your joints from the neck to the knees. Posture is important especially in lifting and carrying. When lifting, utilise the bigger muscles in your body by bending your knees instead of your back.

Stretch daily

Stretching not only improves joint flexibility but also helps protect the cartilage from more wear and tear. When you stretch, the movement helps the synovial fluid and nutrients in the synovium move around better, nourishing the joints.2 Doing a light warm up, such as walking around for 10 minutes before the stretch can also help warm up the muscles and loosen up the joints, ligaments and tendons.3

Eat right

Eating a healthy diet that builds strong bones and muscles is good for your joints. Here are some suggestions to include in your daily diet:

For Bones – Ensure that you are getting enough Calcium everyday. Foods such as milk, yogurt, broccoli, kale, figs, and fortified foods like soy or almond milk are good sources of Calcium. Bones also need more than just Calcium,Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from the foods you eat.

For Muscles – Protein is important for building and preserving muscles. Good source include lean meats, seafood, beans, legumes, soy products, and nuts.

For Joints – Fatty cold-water types like salmon and mackerel are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids , help keep joints healthy. For added nourishment, consider LAC Joint Protec™, a delicious plum flavoured jelly formulated with Glucosamine and Chondroitin to promote healthy joint, and enhanced with Collagen to strengthen connective tissues.

LAC Liver protector

The liver is the most crucial organ that performs functions vital to life such as processing nutrients from food, producing bile and building protein. It also acts like a filter, and is responsible for removing alcohol, chemicals and other toxins from the body. However it is often neglected. Excessive consumption of alcohol, fatty foods and even long term medication can stress and burden the liver, weakening its functions and increasing the risks of liver disease.

Do you have a fatty liver?
Modern day’s stressful lifestyle, coupled with unhealthy dietary habits lead to the rise of modern diseases- fatty liver. Fatty liver is not easily detected in the early onset and can go undetected for years. As the condition progresses, symptoms such as fatigue abdominal distention after meals, bloatedness, discomfort after slight alcohol consumption, mild diarrhea after meals begin to surface.

Over-consumption of alcohol and diet high in trans and saturated fats result in high level of bad blood lipids in the liver which weaken liver function and cause imbalance of the spleen. Over time, the liver becomes less effective at fat metabolism. As fat accumulate in the liver cells and blood lipids level increases, this can lead to fatty liver and impairment of liver functions.

Fatty liver is exacerbated by inflammation in the liver which could hasten its progression into liver cirrhosis, a condition where the inflamed liver becomes scarred and hardened, causing liver failure. This disease affects more men than women between the ages of 25-75. Therefore, early prevention and treatment is necessary.

Protect Your Liver

1. Avoid alcohol

Indulging in the occasional glass of alcohol is unlikely to pose a major health concern. However, routine and heavy alcohol consumption is a major health hazard that may damage your liver and lead to various liver conditions. Excessive alcohol may cause your liver to swell and weaken your liver function, leading to fatty liver, and eventually liver damage, if left untreated.

2. Low fat diet

Junk food and high-fat meats contain high levels of trans and saturated fats, which could build up in your liver. Over time, it can damage your liver and lead to fatty liver. Thus, taking a healthy diet is very important to maintain healthy liver functions.

3. Quit smoking

Smoking is harmful to virtually every organ and cell in the body. The chemicals in cigarette and cigarette smoke contain poisonous carcinogens and toxins that are severely harmful to the body. If you smoke, resolve to quit now.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapy

Besides lifestyle and dietary changes, Traditional Chinese Medicines have been extensively used in the protection against fatty liver and in the reduction of bad blood lipids level in the body. Traditional Chinese Medicines such as Sanchi, Red Peony Root, Hawthorn Fruit, Green Tangerine Peel, Largehead Atractylodes Rhizome, Oriental Waterplantain Rhizome, White Peony Root, Chrysanthemum Flower, Lotus Leaf, Doddler Seed and Rhizoma Curcumae Longae (Turmeric) provide many health benefits for the liver:

Prevent and relieve fatty liver
Lower bad blood lipids level
Normalize the metabolic function of blood
Promote ‘qi’ and normal liver function
Nourish blood and liver
Remove heat and toxicity
Guard the liver against harmful chemicals
