Why Do You Have Joint Pain?
The most common cause of joint pain is osteoarthritis (OA). Let’s break that word down:
“osteo” = bone
“arthro” = joint
“itis’ = inflammation.
Simply put, OA is inflammation of the joints. It commonly occurs in the hips and knees which are the body’s primary weight bearing joints. OA is responsible for approximately 80% of hip replacements and approximately 90% of knee replacements. While OA is rarely life-threatening, it is lifestyle-threatening.
OA is commonly referred to as a ‘wear-and-tear’ condition of the joints. Over time, cartilage (the protective rubbery cushion that covers the ends of most bones that meet at a joint), wears away eventually leading to ‘bone-on-bone’ which become inflamed. As this happens, our joints can become painful and stiff. Osteoarthritis exists in some degree in all individuals over age 65 and women are affected more than men (mostly due to more pronounced hormonal decline).
What Can You Do?
There are numerous things that can help to prevent or slow down the development of arthritis OR at least alleviate the symptoms. These include:
- Lose weight if necessary (avoid fad diets – consult with a nutritionist like yours truly!)
- Limit sugar, alcohol, starchy foods, wheat, processed grain products, and processed foods.
- Avoid nightshade vegetables (e.g. potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers) if you find they aggravate joint pain. Nightshades may inhibit collagen repair and promote inflammation.
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, including a variety of vegetables and omega-3 rich foods (e.g. salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts).
- Eat healthy fats
- Keep moving/exercise
- Take joint-health supplements like Joint-Pro™ Concentrate

CanPrev’s Joint-Pro™ Concentrate is a complete joint pain relief formula made with hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine in a liquid form for optimal absorption.
