Causes of joint pain
Contrary to collective belief, joint pain does not necessarily occur because of age. Of course, aging causes muscle weakness and tissue and cartilage degradation. But even if this damage promotes the appearance of rheumatism, there are various possible causes that can occur at any age:
- A false movement, a fall or a serious accident that causes joint problems.
- The disease of gout which causes a deposit of sodium urate crystals triggering rheumatic pains.
- A malformation or abnormality that can cause degeneration of ligaments or bones.
- Osteoarthritis, which causes a weakening of the cartilages which cause bone blockages.
- The proliferation of certain viruses and bacteria in the joints that can lead to severe pain.
- Overweight can degrade cartilage and promote the risk of osteoarthritis of the knee. People who are overweight may have joint pains related to the exercise of strong pressure on the ligaments.
The recipe to calm pain
Ingredients:
- 5 grams of bovine gelatin
- The juice of half a biological lemon (plus its peel)

The benefits of food:
Gelatin
Very useful in cooking but also for your body, bovine gelatin promotes healthy bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Its benefits are mainly due to its collagen content and more specifically to proline and hydroxyproline which are amino acids. In a study of 147 athletes, researchers found that collagen supplementation would significantly reduce joint pain and could even reduce the risk of joint damage in people who are prone to this condition.
Lemon:
Lemon is rich in vitamin C with antioxidant action to slow cell aging and protect the body against the harmful effects of free radicals. This fruit boosts the immune system and has anti-inflammatory effects to reduce pain effectively.
In addition, the lemon zest is rich in calcium: 134 milligrams per 100 grams of zest!
According to a study, the consumption of lemon zest by people with osteoarthritis of the knee would have alleviated the inflammatory symptoms and relieved the pain. This action would be due to the presence of flavonoids in the zest of citrus fruit. In addition, vitamin C and calcium contribute to healthy bones.
Additional tips for relieving joint pain:

- Exercise at a moderate intensity regularly. Swimming is particularly recommended in case of joint pain.
- Avoid wearing heavy things.
- Avoid smoking, whether you are an active or passive smoker. Smoking promotes rheumatic pains.
Warnings :
- If you have ulcers or stomach burns, avoid lemon drinks.
- Lemon is also not recommended in case of gastric and / or biliary disorders.
