The most important vitamins for sick knees: protect cartilage, eliminate pain!
Today I will tell you about the natural treatment of a diseased knee. Treatment of a sick knee is my specialty. I’ve been dealing with this kind of pain every day for the past 25 years. A particularly common disease called knee arthrosis. In most cases, you will, for various reasons, start damaging the cartilage of the knee. And what is cartilage? Cartilage is a robust and highly elastic connective tissue that is found in the joints between the bones. And it allows the normal movement of one bone over another. Over time, this important tissue in the knee begins to be damaged, worn out or cracked. As a result, inflammation begins to form in the knee. It is manifested by pain, swelling or stiffness of the knee. These processes, in most people, take many years. From my experience, I know that by far the largest number of people are completely mistreated or completely ignore the symptoms.
The first vitamin I will recommend to you today for the health of your knees is VITAMIN C. Most people know that vitamin C is important for the immune system and the fight against colds and other infections. But it also plays a major role in the health of your connective tissue, as it is needed for collagen production. Collagen is the main component of all connective tissues and helps prevent and heal inflammation. One of the main functions of vitamin C is to repair and maintain bones and cartilage. People who have problematic knee cartilage are likely to be deficient in vitamin C. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin found in many fruits and vegetables. What is the recommended daily dose? As a dietary supplement, take it, at least, 500 mg per day. Which foods have the most vitamin c? These will be:
KIWI, PEPPERS, ORANGES, STRAWBERRIES, PAPAYA, PINEAPPLE, GRAPEFRUIT, BROCCOLI, MANGO, TOMATO, SPINACH…
Which next vitamin plays a key role in the protection and recovery of diseased knees? It will be VITAMIN D. VITAMINS ARE SUBSTANCES THAT WE CANNOT CREATE IN THE BODY ON OUR OWN, EXCEPT FOR VITAMIN D. CHEMICALS THAT ARE FOUND IN OUR SKIN, WHEN EXPOSED TO THE SUN, PRODUCE PREVITAMIN D3., WHICH IS EXTREMELY QUICKLY CONVERTED INTO VITAMIN D3. SUCH VITAMIN D IS STORED BY OUR BODY IN FAT DEPOSITS OR GOES TO THE LIVER THROUGH THE BLOODSTREAM. THIS IS WHERE THE ACTIVE FORM OF VITAMIN D CALLED CALCIDIOL OR 25(OH)D IS FORMED. Vitamin D is crucial for the development and maintenance of healthy bones. Adequate amounts allow for the proper absorption of calcium, which is necessary to support the structure and function of bones and teeth. It also plays a role in the prevention and treatment of cartilage deterioration. According to research, vitamin D levels play a role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis. How much vitamin d do you need every day? Some recommended daily dose is about 1000 IU every day. However, sometimes these doses are significantly higher…
My last recommendation will be vitamin k. Vitamin K is an important fat-soluble nutrient that our body needs for functions such as healthy blood clotting, healthy bones and heart health. It comes in two forms: Vitamin K1, (phylloquinone) found in leafy vegetables, vegetables, and some vegetable oils Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) found in dairy products, fermented foods, and animal products. Our body needs calcium to build and maintain bones. When it breaks down calcium in our bodies, vitamin K2 activates a protein that helps the mineral bind to our bones to do their job. studies show that a higher intake of K2 improves bone density and reduces the risk of bone fractures. Always use it with healthy fats, such as olive or coconut oil.
