A disease such as gonarthrosis is more common in women than in men. Women over 40 years old, owners of extra pounds, and those who suffer from varicose veins are at risk.
Causes of the disease
If we talk about the causes of such a disease as arthrosis of the knee joint, we can distinguish acquired and genetically determined. When it comes to acquired causes, it is worth noting that this disease mainly appears after 40 years. This happens because with age, some kind of decay of cartilage tissue occurs. This can lead to curvature of the lower limbs.
At risk of this disease are people who are overweight and those who do not monitor their posture.
The most important reason is that the articular cartilage loses its strength, resisting various kinds of stress. As a result, arthrosis does not spare people whose profession is associated with excessive stress on the legs.
Various injuries can lead to arthrosis of the knee joint. Fractures are especially dangerous. As for women, they can suffer from this disease during menopause.
As a rule, a person who has consulted a specialist complains of unpleasant pain when walking, as well as a slight limitation in mobility. It is worth knowing that the choice of the appropriate treatment depends on many factors that caused the arthrosis, as well as on the stage of the disease.
In the early stages, sparing conservative treatment is prescribed. But if you went to the doctor too late, we can talk about surgery.
Gelatin and its beneficial properties
Few people know that with arthrosis, the cartilage tissue in the knee joints will help restore gelatin. There are many cases where the condition of patients has improved significantly with the use of a jelly solution.
What are its beneficial properties and how does it affect the body? The product is obtained from meat and sinews of cattle - the sticky substances are pulled out. Most of the composition of gelatin is collagen. It is known to be very effective in building cartilage tissue.
In turn, modern medicine is not inclined to such a method of treating the joint. However, at home, such therapy may be useful.
The product must be consumed within 3 weeks. You will immediately notice that the pain has subsided, and the mobility of the knee joint has increased.
A very important aspect is that the substance does not do much harm to the body. However, in some cases, its use can cause allergies. Too much use of gelatin is contraindicated in people who suffer from diathesis.
Cooking recipes
Recipe number 1: gelatin tincture
For a gelatin tincture, take 2 teaspoons of granulated gelatin and pour 150 ml of boiled water. The water should not be hot, but rather cooled. Let the thickener swell until morning, and then add another 50 ml of warm juice or plain water to this mixture. Stir the resulting mass and drink 30 minutes before meals. The medicine should be taken for 3 or even 4 weeks.
Recipe number 2: milk jelly
Knee joints can be treated with the delicious milk jelly method. For cooking, you need to dilute 2 tablespoons of gelatin in 200 ml of non-hot milk and leave to swell.
Heat the finished mixture a little over a fire so that the gelatin dissolves as quickly as possible. Make sure the milk does not boil. You can add honey or sugar to taste. Cool and refrigerate to set. This remedy can be used 3-4 times a week.
Recipe number 3: simple gelatin solution
This recipe is the simplest. To do this, dissolve 2 teaspoons of gelatin in a glass of non-hot water, stir and drink. Consume once in the morning and once in the evening for 4 weeks.
Recipe number 4: gelatin cocktails
In the evening, fill the gelatin with an incomplete glass of warm water. Melt the mixture over the fire in the morning to dissolve the granules completely. Pour in fruit juice of your choice or water and honey. But don't forget to dissolve honey in water.
It should be added that any dishes in which a thickener is present are suitable. Treatment with common aspic meat is very useful for arthrosis of the joints. Also, the thickener can be added to compotes, juices, soups.
How to drink gelatin?
Eating a daily diet with a natural thickener can affect your health. Sometimes constipation is observed, weight gain may follow or urolithiasis may worsen. Therefore, there are some restrictions for people who suffer from diseases of the digestive system, as well as who have vascular disease.
To avoid serious consequences, remember:
- Treatment should last 10 days, then a break for 10 days;
- To avoid constipation, use kefir, cabbage, beets;
- Discontinue treatment if side effects occur.
You can resort to an alternative method of treatment. To do this, use a compress from a thickener. For pain and crunching in the knee joints, it is advisable to apply for the whole night.
To make a compress, take cheesecloth and roll it up several times. Dip in hot water and squeeze. Place a small amount of thickener on cheesecloth and fold so that the gelatin is inside.
Apply the compress to the sore spot and cover with a woolen scarf on top. Can be fixed with a bandage. Carry out the treatment for 10 days.
With regular treatment of arthrosis, positive results can be expected after a month. The use of a thickener inside and out will help speed them up. Thus, the beneficial properties of gelatin prevent the destruction of cartilage tissue and strengthen muscles.
