A look at the skeleton
The skeleton is the bony framework of our body and has a dual function. On the one hand it keeps our body straight and flexible, and on the other hand the skeleton protects our organs.
The bones
A bone is a living organ. It is constantly renewed and stores minerals that are essential for the body to function properly, such as calcium and phosphorus. The nerves that run through the bone make it sensitive.
The joints
The joints connect the bones. They are classified according to their structure or mobility. In the very mobile joints, both ends are covered with smooth and strong cartilage, so that they can move in relation to each other. The ligaments ensure the stability of the joint and prevent excessively large movements. The whole is surrounded by the joint capsule.
The muscles
Muscles make up almost half of the body weight. They consist of fibers that can contract to make movements or to assume a position. Muscles consist of muscle fiber bundles, crossed by numerous blood vessels that supply the necessary oxygen and glucose for muscle contraction.
Our musculoskeletal system and aging.
As our bodies age, the ability to produce and maintain connective tissues such as muscle and cartilage decreases. This in turn can lead to the development of degenerative diseases including arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is a universal problem, but one that can be easily remedied with the right supplementation of vital nutrients. In fact, clinical studies have shown that consuming the right nutrients and/or plants can repair degenerated tissue over time. However, this requires several weeks of intake.
Keep moving smoothly
Have you ever considered how valuable a flexible musculoskeletal system is?
A flexible musculoskeletal system ensures that you can walk, hike, jump, cycle, dance, ... In short, live and enjoy life. When you are young, you do not stand still. But when you get older, enjoying the freedom to move smoothly and carefree is not always so obvious. That is why it is wise to take good care of your musculoskeletal system, and all its parts. Nutritional supplements can be used to support muscles, joints and bones and help ensure that you can continue to enjoy youthful suppleness. Nature has offered us for centuries a number of substances that can provide support in movement.
