As you age, your body's repair systems slow down, while wear and tear keeps accumulating. Low grade chronic inflammation increases, further stressing the joint tissues. It's not that damage is sudden. It's the recovery capacity of the body that progressively reduces.
And here's what most people do: They pop ibuprofen. Every morning. Before every activity. Before bed. For years. The result? Damaged stomach lining. Stressed kidneys. Destroyed gut bacteria. And the inflammation? Still there. You're just muting the alarm while the fire keeps burning.
What causes your joints to weaken?
- Cartilage becomes thinner and less hydrated
- Collagen production drops by 1% every year after 30
- Muscle mass gradually decreases
- Chronic inflammation never fully clears
