Health Nut - Good Ol' Orange Juice

10I wish I can drink gallons upon gallons of orange juice if it is not for my hyper-acidity. The good ol' orange juice is good for your joints, gives needed Vitamin C and aids in the prevention of our bodies' inflammatory processes when taking very heavy meals. Also, drinking orange juice which is rich in flavonoid gives our aging joints some lovin'.

So folks, drink up on your daily dosage of orange juice and be healthy.

Pain Free Joints

Pain free joints - I wish I can say that right now. I made a bad move yesterday by exercising without doing warm-up and stretches and probably over-eating too.

I need to watch my food intake now because my weight does not agree well with my age and height. I don't know if taking joint supplements at my age is advisable because my blood chem result is normal. I am just overweight and need to lose more so my knees and legs can actually hold up.

Health Nut - No Aching Joints

I have reached that age (or must I say, I have reached the pinnacle of my weight dilemma!) where my joints are starting to ache a wee bit specially when it is cold or when I am on a stationary position for so long.

Back when I was slim, trim and very healthy, I did not feel any of these aching symptoms nora slight sensation. I noticed when I started piling the pounds, my joints started to ache and sometimes they ache so bad.

I went to the doctor to have my blood chem checked and it still registers as normal. However, the doc advised me to lose pounds because my weight is putting a burden on my joints. OK, simply put - I am fat!

Here is a juice which can give your joints certain comfort - Orange Juice. Yes, that OJ thing can give you the beta-cryptoxanthin which aids in reducing the risk of polyarthritis. Not only that, it is loaded with Vitamin C which is another important nutrient needed to have healthy joints.

So, get your juicers out and squeeze those oranges dry.

Achey Breaky...Knee

I do not know why I am starting to feel joint pain specially in the knee area whenever I use the stairs or when I suddenly stand up from a seated position.

I think this is due to the fact that I gained weight substantially over the course of the previous years. I was really petite, almost bordering anorexic 6 years ago. However, due to hormonal imbalance, I became chubby and now I am certified fat! I think I need to have blood chem just to be sure.
