Joint Health

Joints are the connection between two bones. They allow you to bend your elbows, knees and back, wiggle your hips, turn your head, wave your fingers and give your skeleton its shape. Joints support your body and help you sit, stand, and move.

Cartilage, a smooth tissue, synovium and synovial fluid, a lubricant, cushion the joints so that the bones do not rub together. Increase in age, injuries, or carrying too much weight can damage your cartilage, which in turn damages your joints and leads to arthritis. The best way to care for your joints is to:

Keep your muscles, ligaments, and bones strong and healthy.
Follow a diet that is healthy for you.
Supplementing with joint specific supplements.
Physical activity by exercise and movement.
Wearing protective equipment for any activity, sport or work you are doing.
Visiting a healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your joints.

Certain foods are filled with nutrients that can keep your joints healthy. Incorporating these foods, in addition to joint supplements, can promote joint health even further. These are some foods to keep in your food rotation:

Fatty Fish – Fishlike salmon, mackerel and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can help reduce inflammation and protect against joint pain. See Invite’s Fish Oil and Krill Oil.
Leafy Greens – Spinach and kale are some examples of greens that are packed with antioxidants and nutrients like Vitamin K which is essential for bone health. See Invite’s Greens Hx, and Organic Greens Plus Hx.
Berries – Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are packed with antioxidants which protect against inflammation and oxidative stress which benefits joint health. See Invite’s Reds Hx and Organic Greens Plus Hx.
Turmeric and Ginger – Incorporating these into your cooking and meals can provide anti-inflammatory benefits. See Invite’s Bio-Curcumin 5-Loxin, Curcumin Blend, Joint Hx, Osteo-Lube and Turmeric with Ginger.
Lean Protein – Protein sources like poultry, tofu, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds can be added to your meals to maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the joints, support muscle strength, and overall joint function. See Invite’s Whey Protein and Plant Protein.
Bone Broth – Bone broth contains minerals in forms that the body can easily absorb. These can help reduce inflammation, stiffness, and joint pain. See Invite’s Joint Hx and Osteo-Lube.

By strategically combining joint supplements with a whole nutritious diet, you can be in control of your joint health while moving with confidence. Below is a list of some joint supplements that we carry at Invite Health.
