Arthritis affects the joints, which is were two bones meet. The joints are meant to cushion the hard bone. In osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, there is a deterioration of the cushioning cartilage with loss of joint function and pain. Another form of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis. It is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Both affect people over 65 years of age, and the latter mostly affects women. The most popular treatment on the market today is glucosamine. It is usually combined with chondroitin. A daily treatment is recommended and should be maintained for life. This combo treatment is recommended not only for the elderly, but for young and middle age people as well, for prevention of the disease. Omega 3 fatty acids are also great for treatment and prevention.

Osteoporosis is the result of the deterioration of bone mass. This sign of aging is one that can go unnoticed and undiagnosed until it is too late. The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is best achieved through dietary supplementation, using calcium and vitamin D. Your skeletal system keeps you functioning and mobile. Take care if it, do all you can to prevent bone loss, and maintain your independent life!
