Orlando, FL— December 30, 2015 — While the number of reasons to stay on the couch all day, such as having technologically-advanced gadgets, is increasing, more and more people are still engaging in outdoor activities such as rock climbing. This outdoor activity is believed to provide health benefits, but practicing it can require enthusiasts to satisfy a higher level of nutritional needs, especially for maintaining their joint health.
Rock climbing enthusiasts may benefit from the use of glucosamine. Glucosamine supplements are widely used by athletes and even individuals who suffer from arthritic conditions. This natural alternative is believed to help repair cartilage damage due to wear and tear from intense physical activities. It is also believed to help improve overall joint health.
“Glucosamine can also be an ideal supplement for rock climbers, considering the intense physical movements involved in the sport,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
Rock climbing involves climbing up, down, and across huge rock formations or artificial rock walls. This makes climbers susceptible to shoulder injuries, torn pulleys, joint pain, injured ligaments or tendons, and tendonitis.
Having a diet rich in protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables is highly recommended for rock climbers. Setbacks can be reduced when enthusiasts follow a healthy diet and avoid overtraining. The use of glucosamine may also be helpful since it is believed to strengthen the joint cartilage, which is almost always susceptible to damage during climbs.
Athletes and rock climbers often use pain management drugs such as NSAIDs to reduce pain and maintain their performance. However, these drugs only mask the pain and their use is associated with side effects. These medications don’t do anything to address the root cause of the pain, which is usually due to cartilage trauma.
Climbers depend on the health of their bones and connective tissues such as the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage for optimum performance. However, overuse often speeds up the wear and tear in the joints, and causes cartilage trauma.
Glucosamine supplements, especially when combined with vitamin E, are believed to help heal or reverse the trauma. Collagen-building nutrients such as glucosamine and antioxidants are believed to be extremely helpful for maintaining healthy tendon cells. The ligaments work by connecting the bones and stabilizing the joints. To make them stronger and less susceptible to injury, extra nutrients such as glucosamine are needed.
Rock climbing enthusiasts may use glucosamine supplements as the use of this natural alternative is not associated with any side effects believed to be caused by pain relief drugs. The best glucosamine products are those that contain natural ingredients such as MSM, turmeric, and chondroitin (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
