Cod Liver Oil Helps Slow Osteoarthritis

This article caught my eye. Science backs old wives’ tale – cod liver oil helps slow osteoarthritis There is always that question of can cartilage grow again? Can the loss be decreased?

Then I started to wonder.. has there been increase in osteoarthritis in recent years? In my search I found many people believe there is a correlation between increased exercise and osteoarthritis. One researcher David Hunter says ”The largest modifiable risk factor for knee osteoarthritis is body weight, such that each additional kilogram of body mass increases the compressive load over the knee by roughly 4kg”. There is no doubt that increased body mass increases the load on joints, but why is it that so often only one knee is affected or at the very lease one more than the other? To us the answer is simple. It is not your weight, or even the increased exercising you’ve been doing since the new year. It is the faulty body mechanics and postural imbalances. That is not to say that you are doing the exercises wrong, or even the wrong exercises. Your body from a bio-mechanical perspective just cant handle the load…YET.

Enter EGOSCUE… With the correct Egoscue e-cises you can change the structure of your body, and correct any bio-mechanical faults. Just check out the results one of our clients in Austin managed for himself  Check Out This You Are Going To Love It

The wives tale of Cod Liver Oil may very well help slow down loss. However, if you are willing to do your part there is a good chance you can reverse the process completely! Great work Egoscue Austin…Wow!!
