OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is a major health threat for mostly millions of postmenopausal women. It is a bone disease that causes bones to break down and become brittle to the point where they are at high risk for fracture. Those who are very thin or have a small frame are at high risk for osteoporosis.

Other high risk factors include having a family history of the disease; having had early menopause; having a low calcium intake (less than 1200 mg per day); having a low Vitamin D intake (not getting at least 400 I.U.'s per day); consuming too much meat or concentrated protein; not being physically active; being a smoker; and consuming too much alcohol, soda and/or coffee.

Early signs of osteoporosis may start with sharp lower back pain which could mean a stress fracture. Signs of diminished height or a humpback look (kyphosis) is a good indication that the bones of the spine are losing substance and becoming porous.

Osteoporosis Management and Prevention Techniques

For strong and healthy bones, you absolutely must follow a strict nutrition plan that includes at least 1200 mg per day of calcium and at least 400 International Units I.U.'s of Vitamin D EACH DAY. Be sure to eat a well-balanced diet of grains, fruits/veggies, and fish for adequate magnesium intake as well.

Good sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products; dark green, leafy vegetables; and calcium-fortified foods and beverages. Also, supplements can help ensure that the calcium requirement is met each day. Calcium citrate is the best form of calcium to take in supplement form.

Vitamin D, necessary for calcium absorption in the bones, is synthesized in the skin through exposure to sunlight. While many people are able to obtain enough vitamin D naturally, older individuals are often deficient in this vitamin. This is partly because they spend limited time outdoors. Such individuals may require vitamin D supplements in order to ensure an adequate daily intake.

Because meat or concentrated protein has a tendency to pull calcium out of bones, it is a good idea to eat less meat and get more protein from vegetable sources. If you are concerned about iron deficiency, you can get a good source of iron from whole grains, cooked beans, apricots and prunes. Never take an iron supplement.

Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. The best exercise for your bones and osteoporosis prevention is weight-bearing exercise that forces you to work against gravity. Some examples include walking, climbing stairs, lifting weights, and dancing.

Also, for postmenopausal women or women showing signs of menopause or women who are hormone deficient in estrogen, it is a good idea to increase your estrogen level or make sure it is well-balanced in your body since low levels could lead to loss of bone density.

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis, especially seen in older people, is the breaking down of cartilage, disks, joints and synovial fluid that allows our body freedom of motion. Osteoarthritis mostly affects cartilage, the hard but slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they meet to form a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another. It also absorbs energy from the shock of physical movement. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape. Also, small deposits of bone – called osteophytes or bone spurs – may grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space. This causes more pain and damage.

Osteoarthritis Management And Prevention Techniques

Once again the importance of nutrition and exercise cannot be stressed enough to help manage and prevent osteoarthritis. Eat plenty of a variety of fruits and vegetables preferably organic. Eat lots of berries because they have anti-oxidants which help relieve pain and inflammation. Eat a lot of fish with Omega-3 Essential Fatty acids. Avoid saturated fats especially trans fat. Eat more whole grains, nuts and seeds. Try to stay away from any refined flours, pastas or rices. Drink plenty of water to help lubricate joints and disks. It is also good to take a glucosamine (1500 mg/day-1 month on and 1 month off), Chondroitin or MSM supplement for joint/cartilage support and pain reduction.

Be sure to do some form of light aerobic exercise that won't be so hard on your body such as swimming, cycling, using an elliptical machine and/or a stairmaster. Even going for a walk is very important and DOES count as exercise. So just get up and move. Studies show that osteoarthritis sufferers can reduce their level of pain and discomfort with just 3 months of regular aerobic exercise.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, a disorder in which the body attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. The disease occurs in all racial and ethnic groups, but affects two to three times as many women as men. Rheumatoid arthritis is more commonly found in older individuals, although the disease typically begins in middle age. Children and young adults can also be affected.

When someone has rheumatoid arthritis, the membranes around his or her joints become inflamed and release enzymes that cause the surrounding cartilage and bone to wear away. In severe cases, other tissues and body organs also can be affected. Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis often experience pain, swelling, and stiffness in their joints, especially those in the hands and feet. Motion can be limited in the affected joints, curtailing one’s ability to accomplish even the most basic everyday tasks. About one-quarter of those with rheumatoid arthritis develop nodules (bumps) that grow under the skin, usually close to the joints. Fatigue, anemia (low red blood cell count), neck pain, and dry eyes and mouth can also occur in individuals with the disease. Some may even feel sick, tired and feverish.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Management And Prevention Techniques

Eat a lot of Omega-3 essential fatty acids to help ease pain and inflammation naturally. Eat a lot of fresh fish including salmon, halibut and tuna. Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (a good source of fats) for cooking or marinating fish. Eat a lot of berries with anti-oxidants. Decrease your consumption of saturated fats especially trans fat. Since your rheumatoid arthritis could be the result of a food allergy, limit your intake of refined sugars/flour and dairy products. Limit your intake of stimulants but increase your intake of water. Water is so essential for healthy joints.

You should supplement your diet with the right multi-vitamin/mineral. Be sure to get between 1000-1200 mg of Calcium per day and no more. Take a Multi-vitamin or calcium supplement that contains magnesium. It is best to take calcium citrate for maximum absorption. Try to get a multi-vitamin with Boron because this mineral helps to reduce the excretion of calcium and magnesium. I would also suggest taking 2200-3000 mg of MSM per day especially for rheumatoid sufferers as this will help settle your immune system and reduce the action of attacking your own joints. As far as herbal therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, drinking Green Tea should provide anti-inflammatory effects for sufferers; so do combinations of boswella, turmeric, ginger, skullcap, and ginseng.

Exercising can be challenging for people with rheumatoid arthritis, and it needs to be balanced with rest when the disease is active. However, regular exercises such as walking can help prevent bone loss and, by enhancing balance and flexibility, can also reduce the likelihood of falling and breaking a bone. Exercise is also important for preserving joint mobility.

FINAL COMMENTS: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT SO LISTEN UP.

Among about 50 other medical conditions including heart attack and stroke, osteoporosis and arthritis are directly linked to high levels of homocysteine levels in the blood. Homocysteine is a type of protein that should only be measured in very low levels in the body for optimum health. People with high levels of homocysteine increase their risks for a host of medical diseases and complications. In fact it is now considered one of the main predictors of life expectancy. That is why it is so important to maintain low levels of this protein in your blood. You can do this by doing everything aforementioned and also by supplementing with folic acid and B complex vitamins. This is absolutely essential for optimum health not to mention osteoporosis and arthritis prevention and management.

Why Should You Always Try A Natural Remedy Before Prescription
Medication Or Over-The-Counter Medication???

The number 1 reason for trying an herbal remedy before trying a prescription drug is safety.

Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are overpowering on your body. Your body has no choice but to stand down and let these drugs take charge. This unleashes toxic side effects on your body including your heart, stomach, kidneys and liver. This overwhelming effect can also suppress or hurt your immune system making you vulnerable for infection or future complications and illness.

Herbal remedies work alongside your immune system and act as a team to deliver a desired effect for your body. This is because herbal remedies are very complex. Instead of just having one isolated effect, they have several effects on the human body but at very low dosages. When you use an herbal preparation or remedy, your body is very selective in terms of the way it wants to use it. It will use it in conjunction with the immune system to help prevent infection, relieve pain and inflammation, or reach the desired effect.

The best part is that it may reach the desired effect without suppressing your immune system and without causing drastic side effects to your body and its organs.
