My Achy Breaky Bones!!

Long hours and high demands in the salon world can mean lots of stress and shock on your skeletal system. Taking care of your body while pursuing your barber or styling career is important to the longevity of your work. After ten years of service, I can notice a difference in the way my body performs and reponds to large workload. My capacity certainly is not that of a nineteen year old but my passion for the industry sometimes causes me to work a little harder than what my bones can bare. This brings me to my main purpose of this post. There are ways to keep down swelling and inflammation in your joints and here I would like to share with you my number one weapon against arthritis, glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine is a product that is found in the shell of shellfish, animal bones, as well as bone marrow. This products helps against the destruction of cartilage, preventing osteoarthritis. People suffering from arthritis are the group that this form of supplement targets but I use it as a preventative measure against all forms of bone destruction. It comes in pill form as well as liquid. I prefer to use the liquid form to allow for faster absorption. You can find this product at your local pharmacy, WalMart, or even your local dollar store. Another important element that is important when choosing bone supplement is chondroitin. Be sure that the glucosamine you choose has chondroitin in it as well. This product works to help carry the glucosamine into your system, allowing for better absorption. Always refer to a physician when trying a new supplement because all of our bodies are so different and I do realize that not everything works for everybody. I hope this post was helpful to all the beauty professionals who suffer from sore, achy joints. Keep them bones lubed with some good ole fashion glucosamine..
