How do our joints work?

OurJointsare the supporting structure of our body. On the one hand they are responsible for all movements, on the other hand they also serve asShock absorbersThe human body consists of about 200 bones, which are connected to each other by more than 100 joints. A joint includes the joint capsule, the smooth cartilage and the importantSynovial fluid. This serves as a lubricant and dampens the friction at the contact surfaces of the bones. The joints are divided into the so-called immobile or"fake" joints, which connect, for example, the teeth and the jaw bones, and in the movable or"real" joints, such as those found in the elbow or knee area. During all movements, they can be subjected to up to eight times the pressure of the body weight. In a person with healthy joints, this pressure is evenly distributed across the bone structure. Among our joints, there are three that are particularly heavily stressed and are therefore more susceptible toSigns of wearare: the large knee joint, the hip joint and the elbow joint.

Vital substances for healthy joints into old age

WithJoint problemsprobably every one of us has had to deal with it at some point. This can manifest itself in the form of mild osteoarthritis (degeneration of the cartilage tissue in the fingers, hip or knee) or even inflammatory arthritis. Regular exercise and abalanced nutritionwith many valuable minerals, trace elements and vitamins help you to keep your joints mobile for as long as possible. SelectedVital and nutritional substancesguarantee their normal function. These include vitamin C,Vitamin D,Vitamin K, minerals such asmagnesium, calcium and zinc as well as the cartilage componentsGlucosamineandChondroitin.

Sport keeps the joints fit

So that we canhealthy, mobile and pain-freeremain, we must regularly take care of the health ofJoints, cartilageandBoneJoint-friendly training sessions strengthen our muscles and bones and also improve thegeneral physical fitness, which also has a positive effect on theWell-beingAvoid sports that put strain on the joints. Jogging, for example, is ideal for strengtheningHeart and circulationRunning on hard surfaces places high demands on joints and bones. Nordic walking, on the other hand, is more suitable as an aerobic workout because it is gentler on the joints.

Healthy cartilage cells - so that osteoarthritis remains a foreign word

In osteoarthritis, the protective and elasticCartilage layerbetween the two bone ends in the joints is becoming increasingly weaker. In Germany alone, around 5 to 8 million patients suffer fromOsteoarthritisIn particularly severe cases, the patient can suffer from up to six affected joints at the same time. But how do you get osteoarthritis? The joint disease can be caused byWear,through aAccidentor through years ofMalnutritionIf the cartilage cells are well supplied with nutrients, they can produce a corresponding amount of cartilage mass.healthy cartilagecan ideally absorb pressure, shock and tensile loads - without causing inflammation. It is also able to regenerate quickly after an injury. In the case of aprogressive osteoarthritisHowever, the cartilage layer disappears completely and the bones rub against each other without protection. Movement is then only possible with severe pain and mobility is largely restricted.

Natural vital substances support freedom of movement

In order to avoid a chronic form of arthrosis, nutrition plays an important role. A particularlylow-fat and vitamin-rich dietour body to stay fit and agile for a long time. Calcium-rich foods such as cheese and lean, low-fat dairy products have a particularly positive influence,unsaturated fatty acids(eg olive oil), brown rice, cold water fish, garlic, onions and leeks as well as otherhigh-fiber foodsMedicom uses only raw materials from renowned manufacturers for its joint preparations, which are very well tolerated andoptimally bioavailableIn addition, no lactose or gluten is added during the production of the vital substance products.

Reduce excess weight - for a better quality of life

Recent studies have confirmed a connection between excess weight and the occurrence of knee osteoarthritis. This means that in a patient of normal weight, knee osteoarthritis only appears at an older age.Weight lossThe clinical picture of osteoarthritis patients improves, especially in terms of mobility andPain relief in the jointsWith the right diet and sufficient exercise, the course of the disease can be positively influenced. The use ofFasting curesshowed a strong positive effect on osteoarthritis patients: after just two weeks, the joint pain decreased massively, especially in theDiagnosis of knee or hip osteoarthritis. This also meant that the intake of painkillers could be reduced. The pain-free state continued even three months after the end of the fasting period.'
