When it comes to muscle and joint pain relief, prevention as with all else is better than the cure. If you are in a profession that requires a lot of physical activity or if you just love to exercise, start having this attitude of pain prevention at the forefront of your mind now.
The best way to prevent pain in the muscle and joints is proper nutrition and proper rest. If you exercise a great deal then it would be important than you get adequate anti-inflammatory nutrients for the muscles such as Omega 3 fatty acids. These help a great deal in keeping your cell walls intact and cells always need boundaries. The protein in your muscle must always be replaced after the trauma of exercise by taking in high quality protein of which egg albumen (white) and whey protein are probably the highest quality. These can be naturally sourced or, for the sake of convenience sourced from whole foods supplements such as high protein milkshake powers. Include a regimen of Amino acid tablet supplementation between meals and/or during exercise.
Joint and knee pain relief can also be relieved by proper nutritional supplementation. Again, Omega 3 fatty acids will protect your joints a great deal along with other nutrients such as MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), a supplement highly recommended as a treatment for osteoarthritis. You can imagine what a great preventative measure it is supplementing with MSM combined with Glucosamine, a precursor to Glucosaminoglycans, which are an important component of joint cartilage.
Finally, the last ingredient in muscle and joint pain relief, or rather prevention is getting proper rest for these nutrients to go to work and repair the trauma on your body caused by hard physical labor or exercise. Along with this rest, include rubbing anti inflammatory oils such as Arnica oil in aching joints and muscles to aid the recovery process. This approach is also much cheaper in the long run than anti inflammatory medications that often have the detrimental side effect of causing stomach ulcers.
