The knees provide a
stable support for the body. They also allow the legs to bend and straighten.
Both flexibility and stability are needed to stand, walk, run, crouch, jump,
and turn. Other parts of the body help the knees do their job. These are: Bones,
Cartilage, Muscles, Ligaments, Tendons.
If any of these parts are injured or worn out,
the knee may hurt and not be able to do its functions. Anybody can have a kneel
problem; it does not happen as a result of race or your ethnicity. A direct
blow or sudden movements that strain the knee
Osteoarthritis in the knee, resulting from wear
and tear on its parts. Most people
experience knee pain at some point in their lives. Sports, exercise and other
activities can cause muscle strains, tendinitis, and more serious injuries to
ligaments and cartilage. For some, knee pain can be so severe that it limits
daily activities. For others, mild knee pain may be a chronic hindrance to the
active lifestyle they desire. In either case, chances are that you’re dealing
with a knee problem that shouldn’t be ignored. The best method is to try and
avoid it. Over weight is one the greatest risks that could lead to early kneel
and joint pains. Every extra pound you pack on puts about 4 extra
pounds of pressure on your knees when you walk or take the stairs. "Women
often complain of knee pain.
Exercise
When it’s painful and
difficult just to move, the last thing you feel like doing is getting up and
exercising. As unpleasant as it may sound though, exercise is vital for those
who suffer from any form of stiffness, joint pain, or arthritis. Exercise will help control weight (an excess
of which puts more strain on your joints) strengthens the muscles that support
the joint, even when the cartilage is thinning, and lubricates the joints, allowing
them to move more freely. When we are inactive the synovial fluid in the joints
is the consistency of a thick gel, but once we get moving and warming up, the
liquid becomes more viscous and can do a better job of lubricating our joints
and keeping them going smoothly. Just imagine if you were to be sedentary every
day, pretty soon you’d be so stiff it’d be just about impossible to move. But
if you get up and move around every day, you’ll get stronger and will loosen up
as well.
Try…
-Going for a brisk walk-start with 15 minutes and work your way up into a solid daily routine.
-Doing joint-targeted exercises-certain stretches and exercises specifically target joints to help rid them of stiffness and pain.

THE IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE
NATURAL DRINKS TO CURE YOUR KNEEL PROBLEMS
1. WHITE WILLOW TEA (the original aspirin)
Before there was
aspirin, and I mean way before aspirin, there was white willow bark. The Greek
physician Hippocrates wrote about it all the way back in 5th century BC. It
wasn’t until 18-something or other (1829, I believe) that it was found that
white willow was so effective because it contained an active ingredient called
salicin. Salicin is converted in the body into salicylic acid-similar to acetyl
salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin. But because the naturally
occurring salicin is converted after it passed through the stomach, it resulted
in less irritation/side effects. While it can be taken in a capsule form, I
usually opt for the tea version of just about everything.
You will need…
-2 teaspoons of powdered
or chipped white willow bark
-1 cup of water
-Honey or lemon to taste
-1 cup of water
-Honey or lemon to taste
Directions
Bring 1 cup (8 oz.) of
water to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Add 2 teaspoons of powdered or
chipped white willow bark and let it infuse for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat
and let it steep for 30 more minutes. Drink twice daily-it’s bitter, so honey
and lemon are usually welcome
(Jika saya anda, saya
lebih suka minum teh panas) Because hot water has the high rate of speedily
crawling through your body systems, thereby yielding a good healthy results.
2. JUNNIPER
BERRY TEA
A 2009 research trial
published in the “Journal of Ethnopharmacology” found that juniper berries do
indeed help with arthritis pain thanks to a component called terpinen-4-ol.
Terpene suppresses a type of white blood cells called monocytes which, as a
part of our immune system, respond to signals of inflammation. In rheumatoid
arthritis, the immune system attacks normal joint tissue for no reason, leading
to inflammation, pain, and loss of function. If taken daily, juniper may be
able to reduce the uncomfortable inflammation thanks to its terpene content.
Only prickly juniper and common juniper varieties were effective.
Note: Do NOT drink juniper berry tea while PREGNANT.
You will need…
-1 tablespoon of dried
juniper berries
-1 cup of fresh water
-Honey (optional)
-1 cup of fresh water
-Honey (optional)
Directions
Bring 1 cup of fresh
water to a boil, and place 1 tablespoon of dried juniper berries in a mug. Pour
the boiling water over the berries and let them steep for 20 minutes before
straining. Drink 1 cup twice daily, and add honey to taste if you like.
3. BOSWEILLA: Also known
as Frankincense, Bosweilla is a flowering plant native to Africa and Asia. The
gum resin or extract of the plant works as an anti-inflammatory and
pain-killer. It works against inflammation by ‘disabling’ white blood cells
that would cause swelling, and also helps shrink tissue that has already become
inflamed and painful.
Boswellia Tea has proven its efficiency in:
- Fighting against arthritis and other pains related to
inflammation
- Fighting against osteoarthritis of the knee and other
joints
- Lowering the risk for certain types of cancer,
including leukemia
- Fighting bronchial asthma
- Fighting ulcerative colitis
- Fortifying the immune system
- Fighting gout
- Fighting carpal tunnel syndrome
- Helping rejuvenate the skin by encouraging new cells to
develop and promote oil production in dry skin
4. BITTER LEAF: (Vernonia
amygdalina) Studies conducted at the University of Texas have concluded
that incorporating bitter leaf into your routine diet could reduce risk factors
for such health conditions as breast cancer and type II diabetes, Lymphatic cleanse, Diabetic patient can
also use bitter-leaf as one of their medication to prevent high sugar level in
the blood. It will not only lower the sugar level in the blood but also repair
impaired pancreas. As you all know pancreas is the organ responsible for the
production of insulin for glucose to reach each cell to use by the body as
energy. Impaired pancreas does not release the right amount of insulin to
maintain the right sugar level in the blood. Bitter-leaf is a real wonder of
nature. You can take the benefit of this amazing plant by squeezing its leaves
in ten litters of water. Bitter leaf is abundant in
Malaysia but we just neglected it, we should please more attention to it…it’s
one of the healthy miracles in Malaysia/ please do ask researchers.
