Do this TODAY for Less Pain TOMORROW

Once you pass a certain age, the medical ads start haunting you.
You find them shoved into your mailbox. Then they show up in your email. And you even start spotting them hovering in the corner of every website you visit.
It seems EVERYONE is trying to sell you a drug to relieve your arthritis pain. And then there are all the products, from special shoes to massagers that “guarantee” relief.
Some of it works. Some of it doesn’t. It’s truly hit or miss… with the drugs mostly being a MISS.
Now, research reveals the easiest way YET to slow arthritis damage and avoid worsening pain. But you won’t see any ads for this solution.
Why? Because there’s nothing to sell…
This research confirms something that I’ve shared with you before. Your knees NEED to move daily. They’re far more likely to stiffen up and become even more painful when they don’t.
I know that flies in the face of your natural instincts. After all, we tend to think of arthritic knees as delicate. And in some ways, they are.
With arthritis, your knees become brittle inside as the cartilage that cushions the joint starts to crumble. As the disease advances, you get that painful bone-on-bone grinding that turns what’s left into dust.
So, most people slow down and take it easy. I don’t blame you if you have as well. It’s a NATURAL reaction.
But research reveals that’s the wrong approach. In fact, regularly walking cuts the risk of new pain by an astounding 40 percent.
With arthritis, when you experience new or worse pain, it’s typically caused by worsening joint degeneration. But it appears that the simple act of walking could slow or even STOP that progression.
It’s most effective if you start early, as soon as you’re diagnosed. But the truth is walking can help nearly anyone with knee pain, regardless of how far your condition has progressed.
So, unless you’ve been told explicitly by your doctor to limit activity, a daily walking habit could head off the arthritis pain today and prevent more damage tomorrow.
It might seem a little farfetched. After all, if walking really worked, why would anyone ever get knee pain in the first place, right?
Well, the truth is many folks simply don’t even try. In fact, one study found nearly a third of arthritis patients get close to ZERO activity. And many others get only slightly more.
That’s not just a recipe for more knee pain. That can also lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
So, don’t let this easy, natural, and cost-free pain-fighting option slip through your fingers (or toes). Strap on some comfy shoes and get moving.
But when it comes to arthritis, it’s not just about the pain, of course. You have to think about joint damage, too. And a pain-relieving walk ALONE won’t cut it.
You need to provide your knees with the raw materials they need to…
- make their own repairs,
- maintain the remaining cartilage,
- restore mobility, and
- ensure comfort and flexibility.
And when you do that, you’ll be able to KEEP walking while enjoying every step of the journey.
For that, consider UC type II collagen, a proven natural therapy made from chicken cartilage. In one study, this type of collagen slashed pain in arthritis patients by 40 percent, delivering nearly THREE TIMES the benefits of tried and true glucosamine and chondroitin.
