The body is trying to tell you something&#8230; <\/h2>\n\n<p>Knee pain, swelling, stiffness and walking problems are no longer reserved only for the elderly population. Increasingly, these symptoms are also felt by people in their thirties or forties. <strong>Knee arthrosis<\/strong> \u2013 also known as osteoarthritis \u2013 is a disease that develops <em>over years<\/em>, often without clear signs, until the pain becomes chronic and limiting. <\/p>\n\n<p>If you wake up with stiff knees, if you need a &#8220;walk&#8221; to get some exercise in the morning, or if you have occasional swelling that you ignore \u2013 your body is warning you that your joint health is at risk. Unfortunately, most people react too late. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knee arthrosis: Where does the problem arise?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cartilage is a specialized tissue that lines the ends of the bones inside the knee joint and allows for smooth, frictionless movement. With age, due to poor diet, lack of exercise, excess body weight and chronic nutrient deficiency, cartilage becomes thinner, dry and prone to damage. <\/p>\n\n<p>\n          <strong>First symptoms:<\/strong>\n        <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>pain in the morning or after resting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a feeling of &#8220;creaking&#8221; in the joint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stiffness that passes after movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>intermittent swelling of the knee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Although many reach for painkillers, it is important to know: <strong>no synthetic drug cures arthrosis<\/strong>. They only mask the pain, while the damage to the cartilage progresses. The right solution is found in diet, lifestyle and intake of key vitamins.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three most important vitamins for knee health<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udfe2 1. <strong>Vitamin C<\/strong> \u2013 the foundation for collagen formation<\/h3>\n\n<p>Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen \u2013 the main protein in cartilage. It also reduces inflammation and supports tissue repair. <\/p>\n\n<p>\n          <strong>Foods rich in vitamin C:<\/strong>\n        <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kiwi, peppers, oranges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strawberries, papaya, pineapple<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broccoli, tomato, spinach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc8a <strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> 500 mg per day through dietary supplements or quality food.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udfe1 2. <strong>Vitamin D<\/strong> \u2013 for calcium absorption and bone strengthening<\/h3>\n\n<p>Vitamin D allows for proper calcium absorption and supports cartilage health. The main natural source is <strong>the sun<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>\n          <strong>Why do we miss it?<\/strong>\n        <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>95% of people spend most of their days indoors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of sun exposure causes chronic vitamin D deficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc8a <strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> 1000 IU per day \u2013 or more under the supervision of a specialist.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udfe0 3. <strong>Vitamin K2<\/strong> \u2013 so that calcium ends up where it needs to be<\/h3>\n\n<p>Vitamin K2 leads calcium to the bones and prevents it from being deposited in the joints. Take it with healthy fats (olive or coconut oil) for better absorption. <\/p>\n\n<p>\n          <strong>Sources of vitamin K2:<\/strong>\n        <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fermented foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meat, eggs, dairy products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc8a <strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> combination with vitamin D for synergistic action.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: How to help yourself?<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you already have symptoms of osteoarthritis or want to prevent its occurrence, do the following:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 Change your diet \u2013 choose fresh and whole foods<br\/>\u2705 Start taking high-quality supplements<br\/>\u2705 Practice <strong>intermittent fasting<\/strong> as the most effective eating regimen<br\/>\u2705 Stay more in the sun and move daily<br\/>\u2705 Do not leave your health to pills that only mask the symptoms<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udccc Information about the office and orders:<\/h2>\n\n<p>\ud83c\udfe5 <strong>Mariolab Center<\/strong> (Zagreb, Croatia) \u2013 Natural Healing, Health, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation<br\/>Mariolab Center has been <strong>successfully helping patients from all over the world for more than 25 years<\/strong>.
