Gelatine powder for arthritis

Gelatine powder for arthritis contains the building blocks for repairing joint cartilage; those injured as in a slipped disc and others that simply are aging.

This cartilage food can be made easily in the home from chicken bones and used to rebuild your aging joints.

Gelatin without an "e" by the way, is how it's spelt in America.

What is gelatine?

What is gelatine? Can you see these three chains made of amino acids? They are shown in pink, red and blue, linked together.

Gelatin is the gel derived from the collagen found inside animal bones and cartilage. It is a protein, though it's not complete.

It lacks certain essential amino acids like tryptophan and methionine, so you can’t survive on gelatine as your only protein source.

However it is the main protein used by your body to make the cartilage that covers the bones in your joints; hence the importance of gelatine powder for arthritis.

It's a prime subject for discussion at chiropractic help; unhealthy cartilage equals pain.

Gelatine is a hydrolyzed form of collagen. What does that mean? Individual fibres in the body are bound together by chemical bonds to make up cartilage and other tissues, like skin, in the body. In the preparation of gelatine it is these crosslinks that must be first be broken down by hydrolysis. It can be easily done in the home, forming a semi solid colloid gel; gelatine.

Suffering from joint pain? Gelatine powder for arthritis may be part of the solution. And of course, whether in powder form, sheets, or your own homemade chicken bones bouillon.

Water-binding properties

The beauty of gelatine in the body is that it binds water making it the perfect material for building healthy cartilage. The first sign of degenerating spines is the loss of this water. On an MRI the degenerate disc looks dark as it loses water, the intervertebral space narrows and then the nucleus ruptures.

Gelatine for worn hyaline cartilage

You can also see how the water may seep into the bone, called a Modic effec, which is the sign of deep bone pain. This cannot be seen by your chiropractor, unless he has a scan; it's not visible on ordinary plain x-rays; and may explain why your back is still aching long after the joint subluxations have been corrected.

As the normal movement in the joint is restored, gradually this water that has seeped into the bone finds its way back into normal circulation.

Gelatine powder has also been claimed to promote general joint health. One study for example found that gelatin relieved knee pain and stiffness in athletes.

What is not well understood is why gelatine powder, the foundation of cartilage should relieve arthritic pain. Once in the stomach, gelatine powder is broken down into its constituent amino acids and then reformulated into the protein of  hyaline cartilage in the bones. Never mind, just accept that it works.

Healthy cartilage also requires a low omega 6 to 3 ratio. That means less seed oils used in most salad dressings; more olive oil, plenty of fish and freshly-ground flax seed.

Gelatine for stomach ulcers

Several researchers found that gelatin reinforces mucous linings. It has been shown to reduce the damage to the stomach wall by alcohol and stress, for example halving the size of ulcers.

Instead of buying your gelatine powder for soups and stews, make your own at home. It's dead easy; get it from chicken and other bones.

Organic free-range chicken bones

Those chicken bones make the perfect gelatine powder for arthritis; but you don't need to dehydrate it.

Do use organically reared birds for your chicken bones bouillon; it makes a wonderful nutritious starter for any soup .

Personal medical insurance

It's all about first stepping up to life on a healthier plane; living differently. Going without personal medical insurance is a major stride in life and certainly not for all. Follow the rules of wellness and there's a 90% chance you will score big. Save those premiums diligently and within ten years you will be a millionaire.

But can you handle the fact that it could all go wrong? We are now 15 years into living without personal medical insurance and we have a very nice little kitty stored up for that rainy day that will surely strike even the most ardent fans of healthier lifestyles.

If you do not put it away in some form of available savings, you'll be facing serious misery if and when you need medical or chiropractic care.

Can you simply regularly eat a chicken bones bouillon and expect to safely drop your insurance? Obviously not. Good health is about a number of important habits. Each one you add, the greater the chance of improving your health-span.

• What is health-span?
  

Here's my little list of good habits. I'm sure you can add to it.

• Take regular exercise; any kind that appeals to you.
• As far as you possibly can, regularly eat natural, home made food.  Don't get neurotic, we are all nuts remember; have a coke now and again if you must, eat out at fast place once in a while but day by week enjoy the kind of meals your great-grandmother would have provided for her family. 
• Freshly-squeezed fruit juice of which OJ is probably the easiest.  Press it yourself, top up with water and drink it; don't strain out the pulp.
• Enjoy at least seven coloured foods every day; I aim for ten. Salads, vegetables and fruit must daily be on the menu.
  
• At least once a week have a vegetable protein dinner; tofu, green beans or chickpeas, for example. There are many others for variety; lentils, hummus and favas.
• Eat only brown rice. I mean, absolutely avoid white; don't forget the beriberi story^[4].
  
• Strictly limit sugary and white flour products. Bagels are simply awful.
  
• Eat fatty fish regularly for your heart and brains; or other sources of omega-3 like freshly ground flax seed and walnuts. 
• Use extra virgin olive oil.
• For the sake of the cartilage in your knees, keep your weight in trim and prepare gelatine powder for arthritis.
