There are several reasons why winter weather may cause you to notice your joints more. The cold can naturally make muscles feel more tense and tight.

This tension may lead to less mobility and flexibility in the joints. Some studies link barometric pressure, or the pressure of the air, to affect joints, but humidity, precipitation and temperature also seem to play a part, making it tricky for scientists to pinpoint exactly what it is about the weather that leads some people to report increased joint concerns when it is cold and wet.  

Although the exact science is still out as to why cold weather seems to increase joint concerns, you probably know being cold can make many feel uncomfortable, and this can makes you very aware of every twinge.
Cold weather can also cause changes to people’s exercise plans. You might have an instinct during winter to hibernate, not wanting to go out in the cold weather. However, a decrease in movement, lack of physical activity will cause joints to become tight. To manage joint conditions during the cooler months it's super important to keep active, as movement and exercise eases tight joints, increases strength and flexibility, supporting mobility. 

Winter may also be a good time to introduce a supplement to support your joints, by providing them with the right nutrients. A favourite supplement for joint health is the well tried and studied glucosamine.
Glucosamine is produced naturally in your body and is essential for building cartilage. The bad news is that as you age, your body’s glucosamine levels reduce. Glucosamine supports the formation and repair of cartilage in joints. Cartilage is the slippery, shock absorbing tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. It allows the bones to move smoothly against each other. Taking a glucosamine supplement can provide extra support to help protect around the joints, supporting mobility, cushioning of the joints and comfort.

There are a variety of glucosamine products on the market. GO Healthy GO Glucosamine 1-A-Day is a complete, high-strength joint care formula. Each capsule provides 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine, teamed up
