Inflammation & Joint Pain Relief | Liv Arctic Essentials

Our bones and joints are part of a powerful system

Every move we make is thanks to our impressive skeletal system made up of bones connected by joints, and supported by cartilage, ligaments and tendons. [1]

Bones are our framework. They’re kept in place by ligaments, and give us structure, strength and muscle support. Joints are where the action happens. Where our bones meet and move, gliding in all directions over smooth surfaces covered in cartilage.

“Our joints give us the freedom to move. This lets us to do all the things we enjoy in life, helps us live independently, and enables the other organs and systems of the body to stay healthy.”
Lucy Macdonald, physiotherapist

Your bone and joint health starts now!

It’s vital that we take care of our bones and joints throughout our lives, and it’s never too early to start.

Our bones reach peak mass at around 35, and then naturally begin to decline — they keep remodeling, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain [2]. This makes proactive bone and joint health support essential. So, whether you’re running, lifting, or simply staying active, your bones and joints deserve consistent care.

“High peak bone mass in the first three decades of life helps prevent Osteoporosis” [3]

Our joints also wear down as cartilage weakens over time, and inflammation increases (this is called “inflammaging”, and is when our immune system remains in a low-level state of activation). [4] So, we need to consistently take action to stay strong, flexible and resilient. Our skeletal system may be invisible, but it’s not invincible.

How bones contribute to our overall health

Bones are the hidden heroes of our body. They’re dynamic and keep remodeling to meet our changing needs with resorption of old bone, and deposition of new bone material. [5] They’re living organs with a collagen matrix and vital mineral deposits to stay strong, yet flexible. And, they do much more than just hold us upright.

“Your bones are dynamic, metabolically active organs that constantly remodel themselves and communicate with the rest of your body.”

Darshan Shah, MD, Physician, longevity specialist

Bones have 6 key functions:

They give us shape and support to defy gravity.
They help us move. When muscles contract, they pull on bones, acting like levers at the joints, creating motion.
They protect our internal organs. The skull guards our brain, the rib cage defends our heart and lungs, and our vertebrae keep our spinal cord safe. [6]
They store minerals. Bones are a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus, released into the bloodstream for muscle contraction. [7]
They produce blood cells (Hematopoiesis). Our long and flat bones contain bone marrow, where red and white blood cells and platelets are produced. [8]
They produce hormones as part of the brain-bone axis.

How the brain-bone axis works

You may have heard of the gut-brain axis, but did you know that your bones also talk to your brain? The brain-bone axis is an intricate highway between the central nervous system (CNS) and skeletal metabolism [9]. Your bones release osteocalcin, a hormone that travels through your bloodstream and crosses into your brain, where it helps:

Improve learning, memory, and cognitive resilience
Maintain muscle strength and coordination
Regulate blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
Support healthy metabolism
Influence testosterone and hormone balance

“Your skeletal system is an endocrine organ, working quietly behind the scenes to keep your entire body in sync”.

Dr. Darshan Shah, MD, Physician, longevity specialist

According to Dr. Darshan Shah, new research even suggests that bone failure often precedes brain failure by decades. [10]

How does menopause affect your bones and joints?

Women in peri-menopause should take extra care of their bones and joints as hormonal changes cause a sharp drop in estrogen and Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Bone loss actually triples during this shift, from about 1% to 3% a year [11]. Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Vonda Wright is spot on when she says: “We want to go into this phase of life with as much bone as we can”.

And, taking care of bones and joints is vital for post menopausal women as well. Bone turnover slows and osteocalcin levels drop, potentially weakening your bones, increasing inflammation, and affecting your brain, muscles, and cardiovascular system.

“Women are far more likely to have lower than normal bone mineral density than men.”

Dr. Vonda Wright, Orthopedic Surgeon and Author of “Unbreakable” [12]

What happens if you don’t show your joints and bones enough love?

You’ll start to notice these ‘invisible’ organs. You’ll feel stiffness, reduced range of motion, or painful movement. You may develop Osteopenia which can progress to Osteoporosis, especially if you’re over 50. Plus, the likelihood of fractures goes up. And while Osteoporosis tends to affect women more, men aren’t off the hook. Strong joints and bones matter for everyone!

Luckily, there are many proactive steps you can take to keep your joints and bones feeling great now and for the long run. With a few simple changes and new daily habits, you can take charge now. Your body will thank you later!

How to nourish your bones and joints for life

Modern science is constantly discovering new ways to protect and build stronger bones and more flexible joints. From exercise and movement, to anti-inflammatory foods, lifestyle choices, and natural, science-backed supplements. The key is consistency. There are no quick-fixes for life-long strong bones and joints.

4 ways to support flexible joints and free movement

Fight inflammation with food
Exercise and stay active
Lead a healthy lifestyle
Take natural, clinically-proven supplements

“90% of how you age depends on your lifestyle choices, not genes”

Dr. Vonda Wright, Orthopedic Surgeon and Author of “Unbreakable”

1. Foods that fight inflammation

Changing your diet to reduce inflammation is a powerful first step. An anti-inflammatory diet should include these foods:

tomatoes
olive oil
green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collards
nuts like almonds and walnuts
fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines
fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and oranges

Dr. Howard E. LeWine, MD advises eating blueberries, apples, and leafy greens in particular as they’re high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols — protective compounds found in plants. He also recommends coffee, as it contains polyphenols that may protect against inflammation. [13]

And, of course, you want to avoid foods that increase inflammation, like:

Ultra-processed foods. Refined sugars, processed snacks and ready meals [14]
Sugar. It raises inflammatory markers in the body like C-reactive protein (CRP). (a sweet treat now and then though is okay) [15]
Omega-6 (processed seed oils and fried foods) can lead to inflammation, without enough omega-3 (fish, walnuts, flaxseed). [16]

2. How exercise helps your joints and bones

The classic “Use it or lose it” has never been more true. Exercise and physical activity are essential for bone and joint health.

For healthy joints – The more you move, the more you lubricate your joints. Any type of physical activity works. Running, lifting, or simply staying active all give your joints a consistent boost. And remember, cartilage is a living tissue Load it smartly, and it can adapt, strengthen, and even repair. Exercise also strengthens the muscles around your joints, which keeps them stable and helps them move well.

“Healthy muscles act as shock absorbers and help keep our joints aligned. If you have weak muscles around a joint, it can accelerate wear and tear and lead to pain.”
Jason Lo, Pain Specialists of America.

For stronger bones – Weight bearing exercises make your muscles and bones work against gravity and are great for maintaining bone mass. Think aerobic exercise (walking, stair climbing, jogging, volleyball, tennis and dancing), or strength and resistance exercises.

How to move like they do in the Nordics.

Being active and exercising regularly with friends and family is a big part of the Nordic lifestyle, preferably outdoors. In the Nordics, they even have a saying: “Du må yte før du kan nyte”, which means that before you indulge in good food or binge watch your favorite series, you should earn it from exercise or moving, even in bad weather! It’s a cultural concept that’s kind of in the Nordic DNA. It’s great for your lifespan, your mental health and your overall happiness.

And, if you need a bit of a boost to get going, Energy Essentials can help with steady, natural energy! Read why natural energy gives you the best results.

3. Enjoy a healthy lifestyle

On top of a low inflammation diet and exercise, giving your joints enough rest is essential to keep them healthy. So try to get at least seven to nine hours sleep each night. Rest also helps with muscle fatigue after workouts.

4. Take natural, clinically-proven supplements

It’s important to find supplements with natural ingredients that are backed by science, like Move Essentials. Move Essentials is formulated with a powerful blend of three natural, anti-inflammatory ingredients: tamarind seed, turmeric root (curcumin), and mangosteen fruit — all clinically-proven to fight inflammation, help maintain joint flexibility and build strong bones.

Move Essentials natural, anti-inflammatory ingredients are clinically-proven to help maintain joint flexibility, reduce inflammation and build strong bones.

Osteoporosis means “porous bones”, and is when you're losing bone mass faster than you're making it. It signals bones that are becoming weaker and are at a greater risk of breaking. You may not even know you have Osteoporosis until you break a bone.

Osteopenia is a warning sign. It’s when you have weak bones, but don’t quite have Osteoporosis yet. With proactive steps and healthy lifestyle choices you can prevent it.
