    Default What to take or do for stronger joints or bones?

    Dear all,

    As a judo player I am a bit worried about accumulated stress injuries...

    Any advice for knees, hips, ankles etc?

    Chondroitin or Glucosamine/MSM and some calcium is what I take with the other daily vitamins.

    I try not to over do shikko and other hard on the knees training.

    Dairy calcium is always good - yogurt is a winner of a supplement. As always, take a glucosamine supplement every day for good joint health.

    Before pill supplements, its best to look to food. In modern western diets, meats are always muscle meat: steaks, chicken breast. In a lot of older European and Asian cuisines, people eat tendon cooked til soft, gristly bits of meat too in stews.

    I can't help but think that if joints are at risk of overuse, it would be good to eat tendon, and other cartiliginous parts to give yourself raw materials for replacement. So I try to remember to eat some of these things, and swallow small joints etc... too.

    Beatings.

    Daily beatings with a stick. Then, with a large iron wheel around your neck, push the grindstone unceasingly...

    I started drinking that Glico calcium milk some time ago mainly as I like the taste. Looking at the results of my main blood test last year calcium has rocketed.

    joint and bone health...

    studies are coming in that support glucosamine as not only helpful with joint pain, but may also help the body restore the joint space. since the nutraceutical market is unregulated in the US, I always tell my patient's to look for the USP stamp on the bottle...it isn't the best regulating/scrutinizing body, but at least it is one to look for, and may help certify that what you buy really is what you buy.

    avoid soda pop. carbonated drinks are high in phosphorus, which impairs calcium replacement in bones, and may actually promote calcium removal from bones

    stay well hydrated and maintain your musculature to provide further support to your joints. Finally, make sure that your form is good ( meaning it does not stress your joints in their natural motion) and consider martial arts shoes with footbeds if you have knee or ankle problems. footbeds are an orthotic that can be found in sports shops that specialize in runners. they correct pronation/supination of the foot which can apply a great deal of stress to the ankle, knee, hip, and back. hope this helps. happy training.

    I was told by a fellow budoka that eating meat gives the body too much protein, the excess of which is stored in the joints and therefore impairs flexibility. I'm not sure if this is true, but I am a vegetarian and am pretty limber...

    All the nitrates & salts & crap from meat crystalizes in your joints & grinds up your cartilage. Steer clear. Unless you just don't care, of course...

    I think that only applies to "Processed" meats not to fresh butchered. Of course you do need to have salt or you will die. You just don't want to have too much salt.
