Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/13/2014 -- When one hears someone say that they can “feel the weather changing in their bones”, they often shrug it off and think nothing of it. However, scientific evidence points to the fact this is not just an old wives tale, but rather that the body does in fact react to cold weather.
“Barometric pressure, the measurement of how the air around us changes, is the culprit for the joint pain,” said Michelle O'Sullivan, spokesperson at VitaBreeze Supplements.
Many people who experience joint pain swear by the fact that they feel a notable increase in inflammation and pain during the colder months.
Some will argue to the contrary, citing no specific evidence to support the claim. What cannot be argued, however, is the proof that joint pain hurts and can drastically reduce a person’s quality of life if the pain is severe.
“It is likely that the changes in pressures cause the inflammation to fluctuate. This could be the reason behind the pain, and also why physicians prescribe specific drugs that target inflammation,” said O'Sullivan.
These drugs are proven to work, but there are often side effects of the drugs that many patients are not aware of. Several studies support that long term use of certain drugs can be counter-effective.
“Many arthritis sufferers are looking to different ways to manage their pain and other symptoms,” said O'Sullivan, “and one of the most popular are natural supplements.”
Most are looking for supplements that will work in two ways: something that helps with inflammation, which is often the source of pain; the other to help slow down the natural breakdown of cartilage in their joints. Both are often sold in the same supplement.
“There are many varieties of joint pain supplements available, but the Glucosamine and Turmeric combination is the most effective for supporting the body’s ability to maintain joint health, while reducing inflammation around the joints,” said O'Sullivan.
Glucosamine supplements are a popular natural alternative to help manage joint pain this winter. Whether people choose to take drugs or supplements, they should always be sure to do their due diligence and be aware of known side effects the drugs can cause.
