Healthful food choices and active living help you feel younger and even prevent, delay, or treat certain health problems. You probably know that a poor diet can lead to health problems such as heart disease and diabetes, but what you may not realize is that an unbalanced nutrition regimen can also contribute to many orthopedic conditions. Even modest weight loss can reduce joint pain, and also minimize the risk of developing conditions such as arthritis. Certain antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin, calcium and vitamin D can slow the progression of some diseases, and reduce stiffness, inflammation and bone loss. This is why Barrington Orthopedic Specialists provides wellness services featuring cutting-edge nutrition supplements or "nutriceuticals", osteoporosis risk assessments, fitness assessments and fitness seminars.
