Are you suffering from arthritis pain?

So was one of our wonderful members, Roberta, until she made one tweak in her health plan...

I have taken InflamCALM for a month now and I positively love it. I am 81 years old (not quite sure how I got here so fast) and have arthritis in my right knee, hip and lower back. Not only can it be very painful but I have been walking with a limp, which I hate. Since almost immediately the pain has subsided and the limp is much better...sometimes not there. I am not healed, the issue is still there but doesn't hurt and is not controlling me. So grateful.

A study reported in Harvard Health tells us why:

This particular study published in BioMedical Central Journal reported that curcumin (the active ingredient in InflamCALM) may help ease symptoms of osteoarthritis.

In the study, researchers enrolled 139 participants, all who suffered from knee osteoarthritis that was at least moderately severe and required treatment with NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

For one month, they were given either the NSAID diclofenac or curcumin.

Here's what this study found:

  • Both treatments relieved arthritis symptoms and helped to a similar degree: 94% of those taking curcumin and 97% of those taking diclofenac reported at least 50% improvement.
  • People reported fewer side effects with curcumin. For example, none of the study subjects taking curcumin needed treatment for stomach trouble, but 28% of those taking diclofenac needed treatment.
  • Those taking curcumin lost, on average, nearly 2% of their body weight in just four weeks - that's 3.5 pounds for a 175-pound person.

Of course, this is just one study, and everyone's pain, arthritis, and overall health is very different. But this does offer those who are suffering from arthritis pain a more natural and healthier alternative to pharmaceutical drugs.

Arthritis literally means "joint inflammation," so if we know that inflammation is at the root cause, we can take many anti-inflammatory measures to get it under control.

Here is what I would recommend:

Begin by eliminating the greatest inflammatory culprits. If you had a raging fire in your home, you would not continue to pour gasoline on it. Likewise, "pouring" sugar, processed foods, and refined starches on your arthritis is only making the situation worse. Start with whichever is the biggest culprit for you (maybe sugar), and watch how quickly your pain begins to subside.

Next, add in some anti-inflammatory heroes. Some of my favorites are blueberries, broccoli, avocado, fatty fish (like salmon), and extra virgin olive oil. Thankfully, your New Life Promise and LiveSmart meal plans make this super easy since we always make it a point to include as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible.

And last, but certainly not least, begin taking a natural supplements that is chock full of curcumin. The active ingredient in our InflamCALM formula is Curcumia Longa and is a powerhouse when it comes to combating chronic inflammation.

If you're currently suffering from arthritis or any other inflammatory condition, I highly recommend you add this quality turmeric supplement to your daily routine. Alongside a healthy eating plan, it is one of the best ways I keep my body from accumulating any unnecessary inflammation.
