If so, you\u2019re not alone\u2014roughly 50 million adults in the U.S. have concerns about their joint health. But don\u2019t worry, if your joints bother you when you walk, climb stairs or move a certain way, there\u2019s plenty you can do to help them. Here are some key tips:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">1. Keep Moving Along<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, if your joints are bothering you, you aren\u2019t going to want to exercise or move much at all. However, low-impact exercises like walking, biking and swimming actually keep your joints strong and healthy! Just thirty minutes of exercise at least five times a week will help out your joints. Remember to avoid movements that lock or strain your joints\u2014and don\u2019t push yourself! You can always break your daily physical activity into several short intervals if it helps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">2. Lighten The Load<\/h3>\n<p>People of any shape size can experience joint discomfort, but when you\u2019re a healthy weight, you put less burden on your joints, which is better for their health. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) every extra pound you gain puts four times the stress on your knees. Yikes! Bringing down the number on the scale can help relieve that pressure. A nutritious diet and exercise program and support your efforts for a slimmer physique and stronger, healthier joints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">3. (Healthy) Fat Is Your Friend<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to support a healthy anti-inflammatory response in your body, make healthy fats your new best friend! EPA, an Omega-3 fatty acid, and GLA, an Omega-6 fatty acid, are both known to support a healthy response to inflammation and are commonly found in fish. But if you\u2019re not a huge fan of seafood, you can get EPA from any number of <b><a title=\"fish oil supplements\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/triple-strength-fish-oil\/735336.html\">fish oil supplements<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">4. Supplements For The Win<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re one of the millions of Americans coping with joint concerns, supplements can be a huge help! Glucosamine and chondroitin are common ingredients in joint supplements that help support joint comfort and even maintain joint function. If you prefer herbal ingredients, or a vegetarian-friendly alternative, look for products containing turmeric and tamarind seed instead. These ingredients have been used in herbal medicine for centuries, and emerging research shows that when formulated together, these ingredients can help support joint health and reduce discomfort following exercise and daily activities.^* Long story short: taking a <b><a title=\"daily joint supplement\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/joint-support\/joint-support-formulas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daily joint supplement<\/a><\/b> with any of these ingredients can give you the extra support you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h6 class=\"h6\"><span class=\"lighter\">^ In a randomized, double-blinded trial, 90 healthy adults took 125 mg of TamaFlex\u2122 or placebo twice daily for 90 days.
