The guidelines to control
Arthritis is a common ailment among the elderly; you can expect some joint pain if you live long enough. Wear and tear of your joints is normal.
Osteoarthritis develops in the joints that you work hardest, such as your spine, knees, hips and hand, resulting in inflammation. To control osteoarthritis is a must in anti-aging living.
The profile
According to a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, one-third of American adults have arthritis, and nearly 20 percent have to limit their daily activities as a result of joint pain.
The actual triggering factors are unknown, but may be attributed to the following:
· Allergies
· Chemical sensitivities
· Dietary deficiencies
· Difficult pregnancy
· Genetic
· Hormone imbalance
· Immune system dysfunction
· Metabolic problems
· Metal toxicity
· Obesity
· Smoking
· Sport injuries
· Stress
· Surgery
Good posture is a critical factor in the prevention of muscle stress and joint pain. In addition, good posture means healthy breathing - an essential component of anti-aging longevity. For more information on how to avoid joint pain through healthy posture, go to my website Good Posture.
Did you know. . . . unhealthy breathing is confined and limited, leading to dangerous aspects of decreased breath capacity and nervous system balance? Unhealthy breathing means inadequate oxygen to noursih your cells, precipitating in joint inflammation. Find out if you are breathing right, by taking a FREE breathing test.
Inflammation in your joints may be aggravated by toxins from the environment, such as pesticides, and from your foods that may contain known cancer-causing agents. The chemicals in the form of food flavorings, coloring, and enhancers contribute to the elevated toxicity level in your body, which may be the culprit of arthritis.
In addition, highly refined and processed foods immobilize your immune system, while tap water loaded with toxic industrial chemicals stress your body cells to the extreme. Believe it or not, you may be ingesting more than one hundred chemicals in your body every day. To make matters worse, DHEA - your body’s hormone machine, gradually grinds down as you grow older. You cannot rely on your body’s depleted biochemistry to do the combat for you. For more information on the benefits of DHEA, to to The Youth and Health Hormone.
Guidelines to control
The good news is that there are guidelines to control your arthritic symptoms:
· Detoxify your body through fasting and EDTA chelation therapy to remove accumulated toxins.
Fasting is one of the most effective ways of removing toxins, and may relieve some of the arthritic symptoms. Read my web page Fasting For Longevity.
EDTA chelation therapy employs intravenous drips of certain man-made amino acid to bind heavy metals and take them safely out of your body. EDTA chelation therapy is instrumental in removing calcium from your soft tissues, such as arteries, joints, and muscles, but not the calcium in your bones. It is medically equivalent to the expensive I.V. therapy to remove toxic metals from your body,
You should detoxify your body of toxins on a regular basis.
The 10 Step Detox Program is an effective and safe nutrition and diet program designed to cleanse your body of toxins. The Detox Kit contains more than 100 pages of nutritional information, with 10 steps to detoxify your body, hair analysis to find out the extent of your toxicity, pH test strips to determine your body's acid-alkaline level, and vitamins supplements recommended for detoxification. Dr. Janet Starr Hull is a recognized expert on alternative healing through anti-aging nutrition and detoxification.
· Balance the pH levels in your body.
The Acid Alkaline Diet provides excellent information on how to alkalize your diet. Many experts believe that a balance of acidity and alkalinity, known as your balanced pH level in your body, will alleviate your arthritic pain and symptoms. The Acid-Alkaline Diet is essentially an anti-aging diet for longevity living free from joint pain.
· Avoid all non-foods, such as sugar, artificial sweeteners, food dyes and colorings, and additives. Also, read my web page Healthy Eating.
If you find it difficult to kick off your sugar habit, Weight Loss will show you how to overcome your food cravings, in particular your sugar habit, and how to take control of your health to enhance your longevity.
· Reduce all dairy products, especially if you may not have adequate lactose enzymes to digest milk proteins, leading to allergy reactions which may aggravate your arthritic symptom.
· Cut down, if not eliminate, meat from your diet: the very process of converting animal proteins into energy is in itself a toxic metabolism process, producing an acid that promotes inflammation. Animal fats harbor toxic chemicals in your bones and joints.
· Take anti-viral and anti-bacterial supplements, such as Echinacea. Also take a dose of 25-50 milligrams of DHEA.
· Use Natural Herbal Cures and Remedies, instead of off-the-counter drugs..
· Eat healing foods, such as figs, berries (blackberries, blueberries,
cranberries, strawberries, and cherries) fresh greens (celery, cucumber, kale, parsley), whole grains, oats, brown rice, seeds and nuts, and beans and sprouts. Sprinkle flaxseed in your soup, salad, or just about anything you eat. Eat at least 30 grams of flaxseed a day.
· Include cold water fish in your diet to get your omega-3 fatty acids to fight joint inflammation in your arthritis.
· Use olive or flaxseed oil in your cooking. You may already have too much bad oil in fast food and restaurant food. Don’t use safflower and sunflower oils, and salad oils.
· Drink green chlorophyll juices: barley or organic wheat grass juices. Drink one glass each day for one week, and then gradually increase to five or six glasses a day. Other juices include aloe vera with cabbage, and raw potato juice, which is especially good for arthritis.
· Use common natural herbs to treat arthritis: Aloe vera (already used medicinally for thousands of years); avocado/soybean oil (for relieving osteoarthritis pain); cayenne or red pepper (blocking osteoarthritis pain of the knee); ginger (a potent anti-inflammatory agent); glucosamine (recommended by most doctors); and green tea (containing anti-inflammation polyphenols). Go to Herbal Remedies for all your herbal needs for arthritis.
· Drink shitake mushroom soup once a week:
o ½ cup of shitake mushroom, di-stemmed and sliced
o ½ lb. of tofu (firm)
o 1 kelp leaf
o 1 Tbs. of barley miso
o 4 green onions, sliced
o 2 cups of vegetable stock
Boil all ingredients, except miso and green onions, and simmer before adding the rest of the ingredients. Drink this soup as often as needed.
Or, for convenience, you may get Shitake Mushroom Tincture.
· To relieve pain from osteoarthritis, applying cold compresses, an ice bag, or ice cubes in a plastic bag wrapped in a towel will help numb your pain. Or alternatively, use heat to relieve both pain and stiffness of your joints. Sitting in a warm bath water for 10 minutes will do just that.
Acupunture is a very effective method of controlling arthritis pain without the use of medications.
You don’t have to buy expensive drugs from pharmaceutical companies to control your osteoarthritis. You can take matters into your own hands and unleash the power of some of the most effective, safe and natural anti-aging remedies on your arthritis symptoms.
Give yourself a lifetime of pain-free longevity living. Arthritis Free For Life provides practical information on naturally freeing yourself from inflammation, stiffness, and pain of arthritis, a debilitating disease affecting many of the elderly population as they continue to age. Do not let arthritis immobilize you.
Longevity living should always be pain-free.
