*-- Avoid Joint-Pain Flares --*
Stretch, Stretch, Stretch! Keeping your muscles and ligaments flexible by regularly stretching your back and legs will reduce your joint pain by 45% in six weeks!
Tip: Sit on the floor with your legs extended. With hands on your shins, gently pull yourself forward. Hold for 30 seconds and release. Repeat three times daily.
Daily stretching could cut your risk of stiffness and joint pain by 67%.
Coconut Massages: Coconut oil contains a rare group of healing compounds called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These absorb easily through the skin. When MCFAs get into your tissues, they block the production of pain triggering hormones called prostaglands.
Tip: Gently massaging tender joints with a dab of coconut oil for at least two minutes twice daily could cut pain and stiffness by as much as 53% in three days.
Sip Mango Smoothies...Yum! Mangoes contain an orange pigment that cuts joint stiffness and pain by 46% if you enjoy three cups weekly. The colorful nutrient known as betacryptoxanthin, is a natural, side effect-free anti-inflammatory and pain killer!
Tip: Frozen mangos work just as well as fresh ones!
