5 Simple Steps to Banish Your Aches and Pains for Good


Tired or waking up stiff and sore? Once we hit 40, aches and pains seem to be more common. You go to bed fine and you wake up with an injury.

Aching knees and sore hips can make you feel older than you are, frustrated that you can’t do what you used to do, and worried about more serious illness in the future.

Before you automatically reach for the ibuprofen, try these 5 steps as a more permanent solution to finally get rid of your aches and pains:

1. Check your shoes


Our feet are our foundation for movement and many joint problems actually start from the ground up. If you’ve ever stubbed your toe, you can understand how something small can impact the rest of the body.

Your aching knee could be as simple as old or improper footwear which should be replaced about every 6 months. Or, it could be something a little more complex like lack of joint mobility in the toe and ankle.


2. Focus on Mobility and Flexibility Training
Proper mobility and flexibility training is more than just being able to force yourself to uncomfortably hold a contorted yoga pose. When done properly and consistently, mobility and flexibility training improves joint range of motion, muscle function, and tendon and ligament strength which helps to prevent the stiffness that leads to pain and injury.

3. Eat more veggies
It’s no secret that vegetables help us to keep our weight under control. But the link between vegetable consumption and pain may not be as obvious.

Processed foods with artificial ingredients and high amounts of sugar and sodium can increase inflammation that causes pain. In contrast, vegetables provide a variety of nutrients that aid optimal function of in your joints and muscles.


4. Move More
Sitting for prolonged periods of more than an hour at a time, holds muscles captive in a single position. Over time our muscles grow accustomed to this position and fight to maintain that posture regardless of whether we are standing, walking, or working out.  The result: stiffness and pain in the joints, hip pain, back aches, knee trouble, and headaches.


5. Drink
Water, not booze! Human bodies are made of nearly 70% water just like a machine with many moving parts that require lubrication, so too your body needs lubrication if you want it to perform like a machine.

Water not only supplies fluid and nutrients to the joints, it also ushers out toxins from the tissues that cause inflammation.

Note: See Your Doctor
It goes without say that the above steps speak to non-traumatic generalized aches and pains.

If you have any pain that lasts longer than a week, continues to worsen with time, or is accompanied with fever, numbness, dizziness, or deformity, please make an appointment to see your doctor.
