Enemies of the Joint: What robs you of your mobility, and how can you regain it?

From the age of 40 to 45, the body’s natural collagen production decreases. Between the ages of 50 and 60, cartilage becomes thinner and more brittle. However, this deficiency can be compensated for.

Expensive powders are unnecessary. Simply consume collagen-rich foods such as broth, meat in aspic, gelatin in jam or homemade fruit jam. These strengthen the joint structure naturally.

Enemy No. 5: Acid-base imbalance in the body

A modern diet often leads to an overacidification of the body. This overacidification leaches calcium from the bones, thereby accelerating joint wear and tear. The main culprits are processed meat, white bread, sweets and sugar.

The body can regenerate cartilage if the conditions are right. Follow these steps: stay active, drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy diet, stimulate collagen production, and reduce inflammation. You’ll notice an improvement after just a few weeks, and after six months, you may have forgotten you ever had trouble standing up.
