Even if we don’t realize it, they help us our whole lives, carry us and bear all our physical activities. Knees are often an overlooked part of our body that should be given far more care than we are aware of.
If you’re not a top-level athlete, people often tend to underestimate care for their knees and their function. Heavy physical exertion, genetic predispositions or high body weight can cause conditions that lead to pain and a loss of connective tissue. In joint care two components are important – movement and nutrition. For movement, ordinary walking is sufficient. For nourishment, in addition to a suitably chosen diet, natural and less-natural remedies can be used. These preparations, containing a high proportion of anti-inflammatory substances, help strengthen joints and ligaments. It is precisely thanks to the anti-inflammatory substances that they also relieve pain and swelling. However, these effects can also be achieved by ingredients from your pantry. Don’t believe it? Try it!
