Increased Flexibility

As you age, your muscles naturally lose strength and size and can become less supple and stiffer. This can affect the range of movement around your joints, which may lead to stiffness in the muscles and joints. It's this loss of tissue elasticity that can cause muscles and joints to tighten up.

One of the main reasons muscles lose their natural suppleness and flexibility and can become prone to tears, aches, and pains is inactivity. If the situation is not remedied in time, loss of flexibility could lead to permanent changes in posture and normal muscle function. Therefore, it's important to maintain muscle flexibility as a component of your overall fitness.

What is flexibility? Flexibility can be described as the ability of your joints and body parts to execute their full range of motion. Flexibility is required in all your day-to-day activities such as bending, walking, lifting, etc. Being flexible allows your muscles to remain mobile. However, like most things, flexibility decreases with age. That's why I consider it very important to include flexibility exercises in your daily workout regimen.

Keeping the muscles in your body supple and flexible is only one part of the flexibilty equasion. Sometimes it's our joints that are stiff or sore that causes us to lose motion. Our joints require hydration in order to stay flexible, strong and pliable. The cartilage in our joints stretches every time we move-when a joint is properly hydrated, it will stretch without tearing.

TriVita has developed a product, Optima Flex™, to help individuals maintain their flexibility, and keep the joints hydrated. The key ingredient in Optima Flex™ to supplement the joints is cetyl myristoleate.

Cetyl Myristoleate has been reported to act as a lubricant for the joints and muscles, help in the building of cartilage, and helps your body reduce inflammation. It is an expensive, rare ingredient but one that has shown in studies to have impressive results in protecting the joints and lowering the possibility for future damage.

Optima Flex™ also has other ingredients to help keep joints healthy and mobile. Hyaluronic acid can help reduce friction in joint cartilage, and glucosamine and MSM have been shown in studies to work together to help reduce joint problems.

There are many golfers, tennis players, runners, and average people using Optima Flex™ on a daily basis. If you feel you're losing movement or are not as flexible as you once were, give TriVita's Optima Flex™ a try.
