Put Your Joint Pains To Rest

Body aches and joint pains are the last things on your mind when you’re in your sprightly 20s. But in your late 30s, your daily routine may suddenly get disrupted by chronic pain.

You are reluctant to climb the stairs or go out for long periods of time because your back and knees are killing you. What you don’t know is that these aren’t necessarily signs of old age. Chances are, your food intake and lifestyle are contributing to your discomfort.

Women are naturally more susceptible to various joint problems as they have lower peak bone mass and musculature than men do. Childbearing and menopause also take a toll on bone strength and density. Furthermore, dieting fervently or having too much of your favourite collagen hotpot will put you at risk of gout and various vitamin deficiencies. Add an inactive lifestyle to all that, and your body will start sending you warning signs.
