How to Heal Joints, Sprains and Strains Quickly

Sometimes healing is simple and obvious, other times it can be more complicated. Most structural problems (related to bone and cartilage) can improve much more rapidly if the appropriate minerals can be absorbed by the body more quickly and efficiently. Here are a few extremely simple steps that are often overlooked, but invariably make a huge difference.

Instructions

• 1

  Find a local health food or natural foods store and purchase a good cod liver oil supplement. Expect to spend up to $30 for a bottle of 80-100 soft gel capsules. Probably the best one is Arctic Cod Liver Oil by Nordic Naturals (with lemon flavoring). If this one isn’t easily available, choose a leading Omega 3 supplement that perhaps someone at the store will recommend.

• 2

  Take one 1g capsule each morning and noontime and two capsules at night. The directions tell you to take the capsules with meals, but they will be more effective 20-30 minutes before meals (or 2 hours after if you forget). Note that it’s much better to take them with food than not to take them at all.

• 3

  Drink at least 8 oz of water with each dose. Make sure it is good water, which normally means not from the tap. The water itself probably makes a difference in your health since you normally would not drink this glass of water when you’re not following this routine. Avoid distilled water because you want to get the maximum amount of calcium found in water.
