Additional Nutritional Supplements
Additionally, apart from collagen, your cartilage is made up of substances called glucosamine and chondroitin. If you have hip osteoarthritis, you should take glucosamine and chondroitin most of the year, especially glucosamine sulfate. These can be easily purchased at a pharmacy or health food store. When you start taking these substances, pain, swelling, and stiffness decrease rapidly.
I have a few more extraordinary nutritional supplements that can significantly help: SAM-e, MSM (active sulfur), and turmeric with piperine (1000-3000 mg daily). Another important natural anti-inflammatory is astaxanthin. Take it most of the year.
Lifestyle Changes
Be sure to practise “intermittent fasting“, which is excellent for hip health.
Regular gentle exercise is just as important as diet. It strengthens muscles that support the joints, improves flexibility, balance, and mood, and can relieve pain significantly.
Being overweight puts undue strain on weight-bearing joints such as your knees, spine, hips, ankles, and feet. Losing weight can ease symptoms of arthritis.
A good night’s sleep will help you cope with the pain and stress of arthritis. Try going to bed at the same time every night and remove distractions from your bedroom.
By taking the right supplements, you can expect much better hip health. Please pay attention to these tips, especially if you are over 50 years old.
