Tip 1: Make Sure You Really Have Osteoarthritis
While to some of you, today's tip might be very basic. It is absolutely essential
that you make sure your diagnosis is correct before you begin wasting money
on treatments that are not designed to help your specific situation.
Tip 2: Searching For Just Arthritis Pain Relief? You Shouldn't!
Doctors are very quick to address your joint pain with what has become a "standard"
response. Normally, they tell you to take NSAIDS like Aspirin, Advil, Motrin,
Ibuprofen, and Acetaminophen, or prescribe COX-2 inhibitors such as Vioxx and
Celebrex.
Tip 3: Keeping Your Weight in Balance is Key To Taking Control of Your Osteoarthritis!
If your osteoarthritis is affecting your load-bearing joints, keeping your
weight within normal ranges is important. Load-bearing joints of course refers
to any portion of your body that would be affected by excessive weight. Hips,
knees, feet and spine are all load-bearing joints.
Tip 4: The Arthritis Fighting Diet
The most common foods to avoid are:
# sugar
# caffeine
# citrus
# salt
# red meat
# dairy products
# additives
# soft drinks
# corn
# flour
Tip 5: Fighting Arthritis Through Proper Exercise!
As best you can, try to keep painful joint areas in motion, even in a limited
manner. Exercise is good for joints affected by osteoarthritis. Even if you
don't think you can exercise, you can. Even the lightest exercise can go along
way to maintaining joint mobility and health. A good exercise routine is key
to beating arthritis.
Tip 6: The Treatments: NSAIDs, Cox-II Inhibitors, Surgery, &
Glucosamine
The latest arthritis research has shown that there are some very effective
alternatives that have no side effects, are completely safe, ease the pain and
tend to the disease. This supplement is
Glucosamine.
Recently,
Glucosamine
has been making a lot of headlines.
Glucosamine
is an over-the-counter dietary supplement that has been shown to be effective
in the treatment of osteoarthritis and joint pain.
Glucosamine
stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's), the important proteins
found in cartilage plus proteoglycans, the water holding molecules that make
up the cartilage.
Tip 7: How to Evaluate a
Glucosamine
Product
Glucosamine
compounds have opened up an entirely new avenue for all of you who suffer from
osteoarthritis. There is nothing new about the use of Glucosamine as a way of
easing an arthritic condition. For many years it has been used in Asia and Europe
before the English speaking medical community caught on. However, you have to
be very, very careful when selecting Glucosamine products.
Your selection should be based on four factors.
You must consider the quality of
Glucosamine,
method of delivery to body, additional ingredients in the product, and of course,
price.
Simply put, the higher quality of
Glucosamine
you use, the greater your relief will be. Many companies use medium grade Glucosamine
so you must be careful to look for the highest quality. You need to look for
pharmaceutical quality Glucosamine if you want the fastest and fullest relief
and healing.
Secondly, the method of delivery can make the difference between no pain relief
and your personally desired pain relief. Most products produced after the breakthrough
news of the 1999 Lancet medical journal
Glucosamine
study, were rushed to the market. In this haste, these companies did not take
any time to do tests on their product. They simply assumed pill form would be
the most effective. The latest research however, has shown that Glucosamine
in liquid form is much more effective. In selecting a Glucosamine product, you
should look for one that is liquid form.
Also, crucial to the effectiveness of the product, is the other ingredients
that are included in the product.
Glucosamine
alone is not a cure all. There simply is no cure for arthritis. To receive true
help in an arthritic state, you need to look for products that combine a number
of arthritis fighting ingredients. You should look for a product that besides
Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine HCL, it also contains arthritis-fighting
ingredients such as chondroitin, boswellin, bromelain, omega 3 & 6, yucca,
manganese ascorbate, and vitamins A, C, and E.
When considering price, you must take care to determine exactly how much supply
you are purchasing. Many companies engage in what can only be called a "deceptive"
practice. They often will include 60 pills, or 32 oz. of the product, but they
don't make it clear that you have to take 6 pills or 4 oz. a day. You think
you have purchased a month supply when often you will run out in less than 2
weeks. A good price for a quality liquid Glucosamine product with many of the
above ingredients synergistically combined is around $30.
My recommendation for
Glucosamine
products is
Syn-flex®,
a 98% pure liquid formula that combines all the ingredients that are essential
for pain relief and joint healing.
Tip 8:. 12 Ingredients that Will Ease Your Arthritis Pain

be taking for maximum relief. These are Glucosamine, chondroitin, boswellin,
bromelain, omega 3 & 6, yucca, manganese ascorbate, and vitamins A, C, and
E.
