Question: Can Fitjoint max cure a fracture?
Answer: Please see an orthopaedic doctor if you have had a fracture. Fitjoint Max is used in case of arthritis and osteoporosis. It is used in speeding up fracture healing, but has limited use in the direct treatment of fractures as a fracture is more of a surgical concern.
Question: What is osteoporosis?
Answer: Osteoporosis is a state in which the bones become weak and brittle. It is often brought about by disease and age (menopausal osteoporosis). In osteoporosis, the activity of bone-destroying cells surpasses the activity of bone-forming cells. Most people do not suffer from any symptoms until there’s a fracture and bones literally start to break.
Question: What lifestyle changes can help me deal with osteoporosis?
Answer: Load up on oily fish, green leafy vegetables and egg yolks as these are rich sources of Vitamin D. Spend time under the sun (however with proper sunscreen) for quality intake of Vitamin D. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, to keep your organs working properly. Doing weight bearing exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, tennis or even dance can be very useful in promoting overall bone health. However, do not over-exert yourself if you feel too tired or suffer from severely brittle bones. Muscle training activities such as yoga and Pilates can also be very helpful. Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and stop smoking as these may have a negative effect on bone health. Smokers tend to have lower bone density than non-smokers.
