Why Use Natural Menopause Joint Pains Treatment?
Our Menopause Expert Doctor at Almasi Skincare offers natural menopause joint pains treatment that does not use HRT (hormone replacement therapy) because the side effects of hormone replacement therapy include developing breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary thrombosis, breast pain, vaginal bleeding, gall bladder disease, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headache, mood changes, muscle cramps, skin rash, itchy skin, hives, and allergic reactions.
Consequently, our natural menopause joint pains treatment does not use HRT. It uses nutrition, supplements and lifestyle modifications.

What Causes Menopause Joint Pains?
Reducing estrogen levels are thought to contribute to the development of joint pains in menopause. In addition, the risk of developing osteoarthritis and osteoporosis also increases in menopause.
Natural Menopause Hot Flashes Treatment
To treat menopause joint pains naturally, do the following:
Eat a Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean Diet is linked by studies to lower levels of inflammatory markers in the body. This means it has anti-inflammatory effects which reduce inflammation in the body. Therefore consume Mediterranean Diet foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, wholegrains and healthy fats from avocados and olive oil. Ensure that you also limit your intake of sugar, sodium, trans and saturated fats, processed carbohydrates and other processed foods.

Consume sesame seeds
A study found that daily intake of sesame seeds had a positive impact on postmenopausal women experiencing bone-related problems like osteoporosis and arthritis. Therefore, consume sesame seeds since they also contain phytoestrogens which can act like estrogen in the body. To increase their intake, add sesame seeds to smoothies, salads, stir fries, cereal, granola, rice dishes, soups.
Avoid processed foods
Avoid processed foods because they contain additives which increase inflammation and can worsen joint pain.

Increase dietary omega 3 fatty acid intake
Omega 3 fatty acids reduce joint inflammation and joint pain. Therefore increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids by consuming 2 servings of fatty fish like salmon each week. Each serving should be 3-4 ounces. You can also consume chia seeds and flaxseeds to provide you with omega 3 fatty acids. To do so, add them to your smoothies, salads and cereal.
Take an omega 3 fatty acid supplement
If you are not able to get adequate amounts of omega 3 fatty acids from your diet, consider taking an omega 3 supplement. The reference daily intake (RDI) of combined EPA and DHA is 250–500 mg.
We recommend Now Omega 3 Fish Oil which provides 180 EPA 120 DHA per softgel. It can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Shop located on Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, Shop C15. Call 0721963156 or WhatsApp +254 721 963 156 to order. We deliver countrywide/worldwide.

Increase dietary collagen
Studies have shown that collagen supplementation reduces joint stiffness, improves joint mobility, and reduces joint pain. Therefore increase your intake of collagen-rich foods like bone broth, fish, chicken and egg whites.
Take collagen supplements
If you are not able to consume adequate amounts of collagen-rich foods in your diet consider taking a collagen supplement.

Increase dietary curcumin
Studies have shown that curcumin supplementation relieved joint pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Other studies showed that curcumin relieved joint pain and stiffness as well as NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen and celecoxib. Therefore increase your intake of turmeric.
Take curcumin supplements
Since one is not able to consume adequate amounts of curcumin from the diet, consider taking a curcumin supplement.
We recommend NatureWise Turmeric Curcumin because it is made from organic turmeric to improve joint health and boost the immune system. Each serving contains 500mg of curcuminoids which are the active components of turmeric. It also contains Bioperine black pepper extract and organic ginger which enhance the absorption of the curcumin. It is a vegan, gluten-free, and nonGMO supplement.
