Stiff, achy joints can make life MISERABLE.
Whether it’s throbbing wrists after cooking dinner…
Knees screaming in protest after climbing stairs…
Or hips tight as a drum after a spot of gardening.
Yet taking anything “habit forming” to make the aching go away?
For many people it’s far SCARIER.
Thankfully, there are 4 safe, natural ways to ease achy joints without the risks of addiction:

1. Gentle stretches in your armchair
Just 3 minutes of gentle stretching can boost nutrient-rich blood flow to your achy spots.
Here are 3 simple stretches you can do in your armchair:
-
Reach your arms overhead and pull away from your shoulders.
-
Lift one leg and trace circles with your foot during the commercials.
-
Gently twist your upper body to look behind you on both sides.
2. Alternating ice with heat
Apply an ice pack to your joints for 2 minutes. Then switch to a heating pad (like a microwaved bag of rice) for 3 minutes.
The temperature change creates a "pumping" action in your blood vessels - flushing out inflammatory compounds while delivering fresh nutrients and oxygen to your joints.
3. Fight inflammation with food
Try eliminating tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and peppers from your diet for 21 days.
Why?
Because these nightshade vegetables contain solanine - a natural compound which can trigger inflamed joints in some people.
Pack your fridge with these anti-inflammatory foods instead: Blueberries, leafy greens, fatty fish rich in omega-3s, and try adding a spoonful of turmeric to your morning coffee.
4. Flood your joints with hydration
For ease of movement, your joints need lubricating with hyaluronic acid.
Dr. Rosenberg refers to it as Mother Nature's "bubble wrap". Because hyaluronic acid holds 1000x its weight in water, which then cushions your joints and provides them with a springy, youthful bounce.
The problem is, after age 40, your body’s hyaluronic acid production plummets - leaving your joints dry, stiff and achy.
Which is why it’s crucial to top up on hyaluronic acid after age 40.
One way is to eat a bowlful of bone broth daily.
Yet always having a pot of bone broth on simmer is impractical for most people.
So Dr. Rosenberg and the lab team developed an easier way for you to top up your hyaluronic acid levels.
Marcos, 57, who tried it said "it feels like there's little pillows in my fingers!"
Sonya, who's 69, said "it's like you injected a cloud into my knees… I'm hiking again and it feels so good!"
And Candace, at 81, was amazed at the improvement: "For the first time in a few years, I'm standing up and sitting down without even thinking about it."
If you’d like to join Marcos, Sonya, and Candace in enjoying bouncier joints… so you can spend more time gardening, do a spot of DIY, or even play hide and seek with the grandkids… find out more in this article.
