My Knee care and food notes
Hello and greetings! it’s a lovely; clear, sunny day . Our twelve cats are relaxing comfortably to their own space. Their room is clean and tummies are full. Little Stranger can’t be seen anywhere, guess she found a secret place for her own serenity. Me? I had my breakfast after the services done and here I am – back to you my Diary/my blog.
Over the past weeks, I had been bothered with my knee pain and it doesn’t seem to go away. Hubby bought some supplements which is meant to relieve joint pains, reduces joint stiffness, repairs joint cartilage and also lubricates the knee joints. On the bottles label it was written ‘ The trusted 2-in-1 formula of Glucosamine & chondroitin to help rebuild joint cartilage and promote healthy connective tissues for improved flexibility; combined with methylsulfonylmethane / MSM - is an ideal companion, for osteoarthritis & joint pains , completes nutrition therapy ‘.
To rely on food supplements is fairly great, just buy from pharmaceuticals and pop-in. Less hassles compared to preparing or cooking fresh produce of foods for healthy knees. For the sake of knowing, here are some good tips on foods to keep a healthy, strong and happy knees. Having knee pain like me… please browse the good tips below:-
Here are Tips I read and would like to share on Knee foods. Many thanks to sources:-
! Avoid refined foods like baked goods, white bread and pasta.
!Celery – celery’s sodium keeps knee joints fluid healthy. Juice with fruits or other vegetables to get enough for your knee.
! Drink Orange Juice – one writer has written that orange juice is a top-notch source of vitamin C. Vitamin C has a nutrient that guards us against knee osteoarthritis. Papaya, kiwi, mango, grapefruit,green peppers and strawberries are good sources of Vitamin C. Help repairs connective tissues and joints.
! Drink Soy milk drinks, eat baby soy beans (edamame) products - the soy plant has hormones with anti-inflammatory properties.
! Eat fish with Omega – 3 fatty acids like mackerel, sardines, tuna, cod, herring or salmon w 2 servings a week. As noted: ‘ Eating fish is safer than taking anti-inflammatory medications.’ Fatty acids found in fish may block chemicals causing inflammations in osteoarthritis / blocks proteins known to wear down knee cartilage. Vitamin E hinder enzymes that breaks down the cartilages in our joints. Vitamin E protects our knee joints and supporting structures. Be advised to consume some fresh Spinach, broccoli, or one gram of omega -3 in capsule a day.
! Eat spinach and onions – relieves knee pain caused by osteoarthritis and helps prevent vision-related diseases. Onions, apples and tea are rich with quercetin – a flavanoid with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Spinach is high anti-oxidant lutein and zeaxanthin found in green veggies. Vitamin A keeps our eyes healthy and Vitamin B repairs damaged DNA which prevents cancer.
! Ginger juice extract – reduce knee pain during standing and walking as it decreases knee inflammations.
! Curcumin from turmeric root – most powerful anti-inflammatory-source. To get benefits of the spice: either eat Indian curry or mix fresh turmeric roots into juices and drink.
! Exercise - have a regular morning or evening walks that fits in with work and relaxation time is good for your knee care.
I just took a cup of green tea, mango and carrot juice for breakfast. Next … What’s for lunch? Lunch can be-fresh steamed sardines with squeezed lemon juice, garnished with tomatoes & basil leaves for healthy knees >I go for it.
Ops! Food supplements to be taken 15 minutes before meal for my knee pains (:) Ok. Be back later dear diary and thank you for a joyful Tuesday! Tsup!!!
