Smoothies with seeds to help fight muscle spasms, osteoporosis and arthritis
Are your bones fragile and porous? Do you always get cramps? Do the joints in your body feel overly tight? Cramps are severe contractions in the body that can cause a lot of pain, according to the severity of the contraction. Spasms or cramps can occur in various parts of the body, like the back, legs, calves, in the feet (this is very common), the neck, etc. Osteoporosis is due to several different causes as well, some of which could be lack of exercise, mineral deficiency, stress, etc.
There are a few common triggers that cause cramps and osteoporosis:
- Excessive stress and tension accumulation
- Mineral deficiency, especially magnesium and calcium.
- Poor mineral absorption; when you eat well but the body doesn’t absorb minerals efficiently.
- High blood sugar (regarding spasms).
When you feel a cramp or your muscles grow tense, it’s very important that you help them relax, either with a warm bath or breathing exercises along with lightly stretching the body. Accumulated stree, beyond just provoking cramps, blocks minerals from being properly absorbed in the body. The causes, over time, a mineral deficiency, tissue degeneration, and osteoporosis.
Poor mineral absorption or magnesium deficiency
A natural way to help resolve cramps and osteoporosis is by making drinks that include certain healing seeds which, beyond helping repair and nourish damaged tissues, will help strengthen you defense systems in the body, and to avoid infections and joint diseases such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.
