Joint Health

Many people can be affected by joint problems and the pain and tenderness can affect the hands, knees, hips and spine. There can also be stiffness and lack of flexibility.

Women can be affected more than men by joint problems and this may be due to hormone changes with a drop in oestrogen as women get older.

But being pregnant can put stresses and strains on joints and also other hormones such as thyroid or adrenal hormones may affect the joints.

With joint problems the aim is to control inflammation so diet can have a huge impact on the health of your joints.
