Arthritis & Blood
Chemistry
In healthcare today, we are told arthritis is a normal
part of aging and that poor health is attributed to inferior
diet, unhealthy lifestyle, environmental toxins, synthetic
hormones, stress and genetics. The solution to restoring
health is change the above, and arthritis – Oh Well;
you just have to learn to live with it. But what if we
look at the real reason you body breaks down and how we
can help put you back on a healing momentum.
Unhealthy living certainly contributes but the answer
is inflammation. Inflammation slowly deteriorates your
body. You notice it only when it becomes a problem. If
your inflammation is at a slow burn it may take years
before you become aware of it. Taking the popular antioxidant
supplements is like using a garden hose to put out a house
fire. It will stop the rapid spread but slow damage will
still occur.
One consequence of the biochemical reactions of inflammation
is the elevation of homocysteine levels. Homocysteine
degrades and inhibits the formation of the three main
building blocks of our body: collagen, elastin and the
proteoglycans.
Simply put, homocysteine is a 'corrosive' of long-living
collagen, and elastin or life-long proteins (fibrillin).
Homocysteine curtails the ability of elastic tissue to
expand, keeping them restricted and narrow. It accomplishes
this by increasing connective tissue growth and by degeneration
of the elastic tissue in the structures of the body, leading
to increased formation of adhesions and/or scar tissue
to duct tape your body together, making you stiff and
sore. When inflammation damages your connective tissue,
i.e. discs, ligament, tendons, this is called "Degenerative
Joint Disease". This is not a normal part of aging.
Your body has the ability to repair the damage caused
by inflammation. To do this, you must first stop the inflammation.
Where does it begin? Many different factors are involved
and each of you reading this is different. So there is
no one supplement that fixes all possible issues. The
Blood Nutrition Chemistry Analysis done at Wellness Alternatives
will scientifically point to a starting point, so that
an individualized supplement protocol can be developed
for your specific requirements. This results in you not
wasting time and money on supplements that you do not
need or that may actually cause more inflammation in your
body. Call Wellness Alternatives Today? 636-227-4949
