Nature's Pain Reliever - It's Awesome!
My arthritis in my hands was getting ridiculous so i went online and looked to see if there were certain foods that I should eat to relieve the pain and swelling. Two of the most common "foods" were Gelatin and Omega 3. So, I started taking them both. With the gelatin, I use more than required for typical "jello" so I can cut them into squares for soft "gummy" type snacks. Newman's own grape juice from Costco has been my favorite so far to add to the gelatin. No sugar needed, just use the juice; it's got all the flavor and sweetness needed!
Within the first week, my pain was greatly reduced and here a few weeks later, just a slight amount of pain. So, WHY does it work? Well, omega 3 lubricate us (in simple terms and this is just one of the many benefits) and gelatin reduces swelling and helps to repair our cartridge. If you look at diets today, we no longer make the highly nutritious stews and soups we used to; this means, we're no longer getting the cooked down animal bones that we need so desperately to maintain quality health. Makes sense doesn't it?
The bottom line is our bodies WILL break down over time if we don't give it what it needs to repair itself. I hope this helps! :-)
