Joint pain is real and the symptoms made menopause stands out for me. Aches, stiffness, and swelling around the joint are common symptoms of menopausal joint pain and I literally woke up one day to these awful symptoms. Walking was painful especially first thing in the morning. It made me realise that our bodies just change over night when these hormones start to leave our body. Replacing those hormones in some way is soo important. Also exercise like Pilates , yoga and light running are amazing and also for our mental health. Vitamin C & D are really important supplements for protecting against osteoporosis.
Oestrogen protects joints and reduces inflammation, but when estrogen levels drop, inflammation can increase, the risk of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis can go up and make it painful to move freely.
So stocking up on foods with anti-inflammatory properties. A nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices (especially turmeric and cinnamon) are essential for preventing joint pain. I have recently tried CBD THC free patches
(The tonic) for elbow and knee. Also a fabulous muscle moisture which has natural magnesium and arnica (Nuasan)
Studies have shown that vitamin D can help to improve overall body tissue health by boosting muscle health and function, can reduce bone health and cut the risk of dangerous falls by helping us to improve balance.
Despite being known for its immune benefits, Vitamin C is also a key vitamin when it comes to improving joint and bone health. Vitamin C can help us to maintain healthy bones by encouraging collagen formation, which can help to protect against osteoporosis. It has also been shown to help to take down inflammation, which helps to alleviate painful symptoms of arthritis.
