Tips on Improving Agility
When you were younger, it was all about the bones, you know, “the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone”. Now you’re older and you know that your joints and cartilage are equally as important to you as your bones.
Glucosamine helping you get that spring back into your step.
The connective tissue and cartilage in your body includes a natural compound called Glucosamine. The cartilage important for cushioning the joints can lose its ability to support healthy cellular growth as we age. The body’s production of Glucosamine–which is an amino sugar synthesized in the body from glucose–decreases with age, reducing new growth of cartilage destroyed through normal wear and tear
Clinical studies have shown that certain dietary ingredients like glucosamine may help to improve joint flexibility and mobility. Glucosamine is a natural component of joint cartilage and supports healthy joint function. Studies have also shown that 1500 mg of glucosamine per day has shown to help rebuild and renew existing knee and hip cartilage.
There are many other dietary ingredients that have been shown to have a positive effect on joint health.
MSM
MSM (Methylsufonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound, found in all living plant and animal tissues. Known for enhancing flexibility.*
Omega-3 fatty acids
Studies have shown that increased consumption of fish oil reduces the incidence of sudden death and cardiac death in general. Other studies demonstrated a reduction of stroke, particularly in women. Another study documented a reduced risk of blockage of vein grafts in people who have had coronary artery bypass surgery. Higher consumption of fish reduces the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. There is also evidence that higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids are protective against the development of depression.
