The Get Better Not Older Podcast How To Improve Joint Health & Avoid Autoimmune Disease As You Age
In this episode, we break down how to improve joint health and avoid autoimmune disease as you age. We dive into the importance of making specific lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and protect your joints. As we age, joint pain and stiffness often increase, but there are proven ways to maintain joint flexibility, reduce inflammation, and even help prevent autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis.
We start by discussing the harmful effects of trans fats and processed oils on both joint health and autoimmune disease progression. Replacing these unhealthy fats with anti-inflammatory fats, like those found in grass-fed beef tallow, lard, and omega-3 fatty acids, can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve joint mobility.
Next, we cover the benefits of the carnivore diet, especially for people with autoimmune conditions. We explore how eliminating certain inflammatory foods can help reduce autoimmune flare-ups and improve joint function. While the carnivore diet may not be for everyone, its anti-inflammatory potential can be game-changing for those with chronic joint pain and autoimmune diseases.
Hydration is another key focus. Proper hydration supports joint health by keeping your cartilage healthy and your joints lubricated, which is critical for avoiding joint stiffness and pain. We talk about why you should aim for at least 100 ounces of water a day to prevent dehydration, reduce joint inflammation, and support overall health.
We also dive into the science behind anti-inflammatory diets and how incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and omega-3s can significantly improve your joint health and help manage autoimmune disease symptoms. From grass-fed beef and fatty fish to berries and leafy greens, these foods are essential for keeping inflammation at bay and supporting healthy joints.
Lastly, we offer practical, actionable steps for preventing autoimmune disease and managing joint health as you age. From adopting an anti-inflammatory diet to eliminating processed foods, the choices you make today can have a huge impact on how your joints feel tomorrow.
Tune in to learn more about how to improve joint health, reduce inflammation, and avoid autoimmune disease as you age, with real-world tips you can start using today.
