Is it possible that what we put in our mouths can have a huge effect on how we feel, even our knee pain?
Have you heard, “You are what you eat”? That’s a simple but very true statement and one that we need to be considering. If we want to feel better, we need to do some detective work on what it is that is making us feel less than terrific, why do my knees hurt?
For example, weight being the most common. We know we need to lose some lbs., so what is the most logical and correct place to start? Right! EAT LESS!! Move away from the table. Drink more water. Cut out the pop and the snacks, the sugars and the carbs. And most of all the alcohol. Do this and you will begin to lose weight, it just makes sense.
Why should it be any different with other maladies that we are dealing with? Especially chronic knee pain, back, hips, elbows and shoulders. If it is logical for something as common as weight loss, why not knee pain? What should we cut out of our diet? First of all try sodas! We all drink too much of them, switch to water. Sugars, cut back. Look at what you eat a lot of and cut back.
Are there some good things we can take that may counter our knee pain?
Glucosamine, (with Chondroitin) is the most common natural product that thousands use and is somewhat effective for minor pain. Other naturals cures are something as simple as ginger or raw vinegar and honey.

The easiest natural way to eat our way to better health and probably knee pain relief is fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables? Ugh, don’t tell me to eat my vegetables! Well, it used to be that the daily recommended portions of fruit was 3, then 3-5, and 5-7, now the experts are saying 9-13 servings everyday! The average American gets 1!
Why is that so important? Phytonutrients and antioxidants! Layman’s language, powerful fuel for the body to fight the sick cells that turn into the real bad stuff including knee pain.
So how do I know which fruits are the best? How about, cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, raspberries to name a few. That would be tough to eat all of that everyday. Is there an easy way to get 13 servings of fruit every day?
How about drinking it? YES! DRINK IT! How much, a gallon? Try 4 ounces! No way, you say, how do I do that?
I would love to show you how simple that can be and how great the effects can be. Lets talk soon.
