Just like door hinges need lubrication, our joints need too. Read this article to learn some natural ways to lubricate joints and enhance flexibility.

Our joints play that role in our body which screws and hinges do to a screen door. Yes, you read that right! Just like when hinges aren’t oiled properly they become creaky, joints when left unlubricated become stiff causing discomfort in movements. Generally, every human body has the capability to generate lubricating fluid automatically that aid in the smooth functioning of the joints. However, as we age our body becomes less capable of producing this slippery and thick fluid, thereby necessitating the need for some external sources to lubricate the joints.

Here you will get to learn three amazing ways to oil your joints naturally and keep them flexible like before.

Proper joint moves and exercises –

A machine stops working properly when left unused for a longer period of time. Similar is the case of body joints. If we don’t work out regularly, lubrication of the joints is hampered. Proper exercises and body movements pump out the lubricating fluid into the joints. This fluid further waxes the cartilage surfaces thus retaining mobility. Thorough legs and joints exercise, early in the morning, assure full coverage of every nook and cranny of the cartilages with fluid.

Providing nourishment to your joints –

The Omega-3 fatty acid is considered good for joint health by doctors for one particular reason which most is unaware of. It is beneficial in reducing joint inflammation and curbing rigidity in joint movements. One can find this fat in supplements, produced using fish oil. Mostly supplements rich in EPA and DHA form of omega 3 are recommended by doctors. Other than supplements, you can get this healthy fat from salmon, avocado, olive oil, trout, and nuts.

Joint Preservatives –

Advanced supplements, from recognized brands, with a healthy combination of Glucosamine, Chondroitin with MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) can help you in two ways. Firstly, it enhances joint lubrication and side by side aids in the reduction of inflammation and pain. Secondly, in the long run, these supplements cover up the damages caused to the joints by Osteoarthritis by repairing torn and worn-out cartilages and regenerating new ones. A healthy dose of a joint complex every day that contains these above-mentioned substances can actually help in the betterment of joint health by eliminative oxidative stress.

So if you think joint health really matters to you and it is important to keep them healthy, you need to trust these steps mentioned above. If you really wish to run, jump, walk, climb, dance, play and everything you like to do then the easy ways to achieve this would be by following a balanced diet, working out regularly, avoiding joint and ligament injuries and getting adequate sleep.

Joint lubrication allows the bones to glide smoothly over one another without causing friction against each other. It retains flexibility in the joints by oiling them with slippery and thick fluid produced within the body. And if your body lacks that the requisite amount of fluid needed for lubrication, intake of joint preservatives and supplements becomes necessary for the proper functioning of the joints.
