So what does it really mean?

Having arthritis means experiencing inflammation, pain, limited mobility and often stiffness in one or more joints. 

Arthritis can result from various causes, including wear and tear, autoimmune reactions, or metabolic disorders. Connective tissue disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma, often involve the body's immune system attacking its own tissues, including the joints. This leads to chronic inflammation, damage to the cartilage and bones, and sometimes deformities or joint failure.  These conditions affect the joints' ability to move freely and can impact daily activities, mobility, and overall quality of life.


1.

This is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by the gradual wear and tear of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While it primarily affects older adults, it can also develop due to joint injury/trauma or obesity.

Interestingly Vitamin C and Vitamin D have been associated with regeneration of cartilage.  We do not make Vitamin C and need it from our diet or a supplement.  Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, and is synthesized in the skin from cholesterol. However, many people may have low cholesterol levels due to statin therapy, which could potentially impact vitamin D production.

  • a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints, leading to inflammatory polyarthritis..
  • Unlike osteoarthritis, which primarily affects the joints due to wear and tear, RA involves the body's immune system mistakenly attacking its own tissues, particularly the synovium (lining of the joints).
  • A hallmark symptom of RA is morning stiffness, where joints feel stiff and immobile upon waking up, lasting for several hours. This stiffness is referred to as "gelling" and can significantly impact daily activities.


3.

 A metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, resulting from either its overproduction or impaired renal clearance. This excess uric acid can crystallize and deposit in joints, leading to sudden and severe joint pain.
Beyond joint pain, gout can also manifest as skin issues, such as tophi (lumps under the skin containing uric acid crystals), and can contribute to the formation of kidney stones due to uric acid buildup in the kidneys.

Refined sugar poses significant risks to our health, triggering inflammation throughout the body and contributing to the development of chronic diseases and exacerbating joint diseases where inflammation already exists.  Additionally, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can have harmful consequences, as they break down into methanol, a known carcinogen linked to cancer development. 

One of the most joint healthy diets are high in green leafy vegetables, garlic, onions, and fruits as they are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, sulfur and antioxidants that support joint health and help maintain musculoskeletal mobility.  Lean animal meats provide essential protein and sulfur to build healthy joints.  It is also important to include eggs, olive oil, coconut oil and of course plenty of WATER.

  • Vitamin B3 as Niacinamide: Helps reduce inflammation and improved joint mobility.
  • Vitamin C: A strong antioxidant and necessary for collagen production in our joint.
  • MSM-Organic Sulfur:  Sulfur is necessary to produce our connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, bone, skin... Therefore, improve musculoskeletal pain.
