We may have to truly accept that osteoarthritis is an inevitable condition for almost every elderly person. Statistics show that currently, more than 6 million Thais suffer from osteoarthritis, and it is believed that we must hear at least one elderly person at home complaining about knee pain, especially when going up and down stairs.
Osteoarthritis… and repetitive behaviors that worsen the (knee) joint
Osteoarthritis occurs due to the wear and tear of the articular cartilage, which is the soft tissue covering the surface of the joint between two bones. When the cartilage deteriorates and wears out significantly, the bones rub against each other, causing inflammation and eventually pain.
But have you ever noticed that some people deteriorate faster while others slower? This is because the causes of osteoarthritis, besides aging, also come from these lifestyle behaviors.
-
- Liking to sit in positions that put pressure and bend the knees for a long time, such as squatting or kneeling, causing the knees to bear more pressure than usual.
- Allowing excessive body weight, making the knees bear more weight than they should.
- Eating foods that damage bones and joints, such as drinking soda, alcohol, or consuming foods that cause gout, an inflammatory joint disease.
3 Facts about bones and joints
- Women during menopause lose bone mass rapidly in the first 5 years and have a risk of osteoporosis if they do not get enough calcium supplementation.
- Our body needs 500 – 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily to strengthen bones.
- Osteoarthritis does not only occur in the elderly. Younger people who have warning signs such as clicking sounds in the knee or shoulder joints when moving may also develop premature osteoarthritis, which can result from excessive exercise or previous exercise injuries.
Time to nourish bones and joints… with ingredients that directly address the issue
When the cartilage deteriorates from use or aging, collagen is essential to rebuild the worn joint surfaces. Undenatured Collagen Type 2, the main ingredient in the joint and bone nourishing vitamin J.B.KARE, is a specific type of collagen that directly nourishes the joint surfaces without breaking down like other types of collagen. Along with 95% highly concentrated Turmeric extract, which helps reduce joint inflammation caused by joint friction and strengthens bones. When combined with Calcium L-Threonate , a form of calcium that is directly absorbed into the bones and has a low chance of accumulating in the heart’s blood vessels, it is ideal for elderly people with osteoarthritis, joint noises, or knee pain from joint inflammation. Therefore, J.B.KARE is a bone and joint vitamin that helps improve knee joint health, reduce knee noises, and lower the chance of knee pain from joint inflammation.
Age may be an unavoidable factor in causing osteoarthritis, but behavior and nourishment can help slow down the deterioration and extend the lifespan of bones and joints, allowing you to live fully without joint limitations.
