[Guest Guandong]

Years ago,  I took glucosamine supplements for many years. "Osteo Bi-Flex triple strength".  Their claims are great.  "Relief in 7 days".

 

But I could never figure out if they helped me or how much.  I also added to my food gelatin, beef broth and other things.  I used to have trouble with my right knee joint after running too much.  I never experienced a 'miracle' from glucosamine or gelatin.

 

My problem with my right knee disappeared after many years of consistently doing heavy squats with good form,  and to this is what I attribute the good health of my knees. I know that squats sound counterproductive,  but they are good for the knees.

 

In the beginning of my 70s I started to feel a mild onset of arthritis in some of my joints. Getting up from my chair, getting down on my knees was a bit painful.   This has completely disappeared after 6 years of stretching and practicing Aikido.  Now my theory for preserving a good joint is:  USE IT AND DON'T LOSE IT.
