Managing Joint Problems With Planning (NAPSM)-There’s good news for those, both young and old, who experience stiffness and joint discomfort. With a little bit of planning and foresight, it’s possible to organize everything and still keep yourself shipshape and moving. While many tend to associate daily exercise programs with energetic lifestyles, the truth is that adults are often just as active when they’re engaged in hobbies, vocations and their regular routines. Here are some tips from Move Free® Advanced, a leader in joint health supplements, on how to handle the physical activity associated with tasks such as house and garage cleaning, cooking, shopping, decorating and entertaining. • Plan ahead. Organize tasks in ways that conserve energy and are less likely to promote joint discomfort. Turn big jobs into smaller ones. For example, do a load of laundry every other day instead of trying to do all the laundry in a single day. • Eat right to feel right. Many believe that eating a balanced diet can help to prevent achy joints from occurring. That’s because a balanced diet can provide the body with natural vitamins and nutrients required by the body’s joints. • Keep moving. Moderate exercise can help to strengthen joints and promote flexibility. Losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight can also help to lessen the stress or strain on the joints, especially the knees. • Consider a dietary supplement to round out your diet and exercise regimen. Since the GAIT (Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial) study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, found glucosamine and chondroitin to be effective supplements for many people with sore joints, they have been widely recommended for relief of joint discomfort. Glucosamine and chondroitin are used by the body to help make and maintain cartilage, providing skeletal support and improving joint mobility. One of the latest developments in the category is Move Free® Advanced, a combination of glucosamine, chondroitin and two special ingredients, Uniflex® and Joint Fluid. These special ingredients protect joints and cartilage from breaking down and also replenish your joints, signaling the body to produce more fluid.
