Your body produces glucosamine naturally, but as you age you produce less of it. This can be bad news for your joints.
People usually feel joint pain in their shoulders or knees, because their glucosamine levels are low. There's no cushion in your joints.
And it's not just because you're getting older.
If you constantly swing a tennis racket, you might have used up a lot of body tissue around that specific joint. You might need some glucosamine supplements to help rebuild the tissue.
Think of glucosamine as the sponge or padding between your joints. If you walk and experience knee pain, or you swing a golf club and get shoulder aches, glucosamine can help you.
There are other drugs that can help cure pain, but more side effects come when these unnatural drugs are used.
When I discuss the glucosamine benefits, I always talk about a personal experience.
Fortunately I wasn't the one in trouble, but a close friend was.
Here's the quick story that explains the glucosamine benefits. You might be able to relate to it :)
It was the last semester in University and 10 friends decided to start a squash league. We would play 1 league game per week, and tally up the points for the playoffs. Most of us were beginners so the games were pretty sloppy, but competitive.
And if you're looking for a different kind of cardio workout, I definitely recommend squash. Tons of fun, and a great way to exercise.
One player in particular had a tennis background and won most of the games pretty easily. Squash is a tough game, especially playing someone who used to play competitive tennis.
The games versus Taigh, the name's pronounced "tag" were pretty short, ending in one sided victories. He was really good.
Taigh was on the verge of winning the whole thing until he called me up and told me he was out. He said swinging the racket has brought back a nagging shoulder injury he's had since the last time he can remember. He had avoided racket sports for the longest time hoping it would have healed or gone away, but it hadn't.
Over the next few weeks it didn't get any better. I remember him telling me that he only worked his legs out for a month because he couldn't lift any weights with his arms. His legs were getting super strong, but his shoulder wasn't improving. There was a time when he wasn't driving because he couldn't raise his arm to grab the wheel!
Finally he got some good advice and was recommended a high quality glucosamine product. He heard a story about an older woman who had trouble moving around because of joint pain from arthritis. She used this particular product and regained most of her mobility. He gave it a shot and the glucosamine benefits did their job!
Within 3 weeks he was back in business. He just recovered in time for the playoffs. With no more joint pain and a set of super strong legs, the rest of us were in trouble. With a pain free squash swing and a set of legs that had been worked extra hard over the last 6 or so weeks, Taigh won the trophy hands down.
