			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you experience nagging&nbsp;pain in your  shoulders,&nbsp;elbows, wrists, hands, hips&nbsp;or knees&mdash;you know  firsthand&nbsp;how it can ruin your life. Throbbing&nbsp;pain takes the joy out  of&nbsp;doing things you love&hellip; robs&nbsp;you of a good night&rsquo;s sleep&hellip;&nbsp;and  ruins your days with&nbsp;constant discomfort.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nearly 66 million&nbsp;Americans&mdash;about one  in&nbsp;three adults&mdash;suffer from&nbsp;chronic joint pain whether it&rsquo;s&nbsp;from  poor diet, lack of exercise,&nbsp;obesity or just the plain wear&nbsp;and tear  of aging. Whatever the reason&mdash;muscle soreness and stiff&nbsp;and aching joints  can choke&nbsp;the pleasure out of life.&nbsp;And research from Yale University  indicates that those suffering from joint pain and arthritis will double by the  year 2030. </p>
<p>Solutions from the medical&nbsp;industry  usually involve costly&nbsp;prescription drugs&mdash;many of&nbsp;which are now  infamous for&nbsp;their miserable side effects.&nbsp;And some of those pain&nbsp;relievers  have been proven&nbsp;dangerous.  Recently, investigators&nbsp;found that the  popular joint&nbsp;prescription medication Vioxx<sup>&reg;</sup> triggered&nbsp;more than  100,000 heart&nbsp;attacks. And two similar&nbsp;pain-relief drugs&mdash;Bextra<sup>&reg;</sup> and  Celebrex<sup>&reg;</sup>&mdash;are suspected of causing&nbsp;thousands more.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Supplements containing glucosamine,  serrapeptase, bromelain and astaxanthin can help reduce your pain or may make  it completely disappear. Imagine how good you would feel if you could reduce  muscle stiffness and pain&hellip; cool the inflammation of your joints&hellip; decrease the  nighttime soreness&hellip; relieve the creaking and cracking joints&hellip; and eliminate the  everyday aches and pains. </p>
<p>So stop your  suffering now and avoid the dangerous risks associated with prescription and  over-the-counter drugs. Get the all-natural relief your joints are aching for  with nutrients from Mother Nature&rsquo;s pharmacy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  food you put into your body can have a great affect on your overall health and  well-being. Most Americans consume a high-acid diet full of fatty meats,  chicken, turkey, pasta, cheese and hundreds of processed food items. This diet  can ruin your body’s alkaline balance and actually lead to cell death in your  entire body.</p>
<p>You  need to reverse the acid overload and return to an alkaline state to avoid  these sure signs of body imbalance:</p>
<ul>
<li>Poor  circulation</li>
<li>Joint  and muscle pain</li>
<li>Irregular  heartbeats</li>
<li>Weak  veins and arteries</li>
<li>Low  energy and fatigue</li>
<li>Premature  aging</li>
</ul>
<p>To  help eliminate food chemicals, additives and toxins, plus the everyday toxic  invaders from the air you breathe and the water you drink&hellip; you need to  maintain an optimum pH alkaline/acid balance of 7 to 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 14.  This pH scale measures 1 as being highly acidic, while 14 is highly alkaline.  By reaching this pH balance goal, you can avoid excess acid that can cause  damage to your colon, lungs, kidneys and skin, plus you can boost your immunity  so you virtually never get sick! </p>
<p>You  can also increase the amount of alkaline-forming foods you consume. These foods  can help restore your pH balance, as well. Try to eat more fresh fruits and  vegetables, plus high-fiber foods and whole grains. Avoid dairy, sugary snack  foods and processed items. By evaluating the food you put into your body, you  can help maintain a healthy pH balance and avoid the ravages of old age and  sickness. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The occasional aches and pains associated with rheumatoid arthritis can hinder many of your daily activities whether it be getting dressed, eating a meal or taking a shower. And now research shows these flare ups may cause permanent damage to your joints if left untreated. To find out more about all-natural and safe remedies to keep this painful condition from ruining your life, keep reading...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can cause uncomfortable aches and pains in  your joints. But be aware that what you might consider random flare-ups could result  in permanent damage to your knees, hips, hands and feet!</p>
<p>New  information found in the <em>Archives of  Internal Medicine</em>, the <em>Journal of  Rheumatology</em> and several leading textbooks on rheumatoid arthritis, suggests  patients should work to prevent lasting damage and manage pain. </p>
<p>Doctors  indicate that during arthritis flare-ups, disease-fighting white blood cells  mistakenly enter your joints. These white blood cells produce chemicals  designed to destroy diseased microorganisms. The problem is, these disease  particles aren’t in your joints! This means healthy joint tissue suffers damage  instead!</p>
<p>Over  time, the tissue damage destroys your cartilage, or the cushioning between your  joints. And the longer your flare-ups go on, the more damage is done.</p>
<p>Doctors  agree the best prevention is early detection. This can help protect you from  permanent joint damage. Also, studies show that patients who consistently seek  regular medical treatment several times a year fare better than those who do  not. </p>
<p>As part of your joint protection plan—be sure to  exercise and get plenty of rest. Your doctor can help you develop an exercise  program to help ease your symptoms—and help you enjoy smooth, fluid movements again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If  you suffer from recurring muscle and joint pain, there are several tips and  activities that can help improve your joint function&#8230; relieve everyday minor  aches and pains&#8230; and increase your overall flexibility. </p>
<p>One  factor is your weight. You should try to maintain a healthy weight since extra  pounds can place a strain on your joints. Statistics indicate by losing just  five pounds, you could relieve 15 pounds of pressure off your knees.</p>
<p>Also,  moderate exercise can help improve your aches and pains. If you are suffering  from an injury, you should pay attention to it of course, but inactivity can  also mean stiff joints. Substitute walking for jogging to reduce the pressure  on your hips or legs, in order to keep moving and stay active. Other low-impact  activities include swimming and riding a bicycle.</p>
<p>If  you experience moderate swelling or pain while exercising, it may help to place  a hot or cold compress to the area. This can help reduce inflammation quickly. </p>
<p>Dietary  supplementation with such nutrients as astaxanthin, collagen and glucosamine  has been shown to help:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide minor  joint pain relief</li>
<li>Promote  healthy cartilage function</li>
<li>Protect you  from free radical damage</li>
<li>Increase your  antioxidant levels</li>
<li>Promote  regular sleep patterns</li>
<li>Increase your  energy levels</li>
</ul>
<p>By  taking these simple steps to improve your joint function, you can continue  enjoying the activities you love without all the pain afterwards. </p>
