Daily fiber supplement reduces knee arthritis pain in clinical trial

A daily fiber supplement can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain, increase muscle strength, and make the body less sensitive to pain, ScienceDaily reported. A clinical trial led by researchers at the University of Nottingham evaluated the supplement as a potential treatment for people living with knee osteoarthritis. [1]

Researchers found that the health improvements may be connected to shifts in gut bacteria and changes in the GLP-1 hormone. ScienceDaily reported that these findings reveal a new strategy for providing arthritis relief. [1]

As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, non-pharmacological approaches to osteoarthritis are expanding. Simple walking adjustments can reduce osteoarthritis pain as effectively as prescription drugs while slowing joint cartilage deterioration. Nearly 25 percent of individuals over the age of 40 suffer from painful osteoarthritis. [2]

Additionally, HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier that Mayo Clinic researchers published seven studies on aging senescent cells. Experimental treatments targeting these cells reduced inflammation and boosted both physical and brain health in aging mice. [3]
