So, I'm 47, fairly active, but still feel overall sore and tight most of the time. My shoulders especially feel swollen a lot of the time - like I just put them through a big workout. Anyone else feel this way?

I'd like to figure out what foods I can incorporate or any natural supplements to help me feel better, looser, and stronger.

What workouts do you do, what foods do you normally eat, how much do you drink alcohol, and how much do you sleep?

Omegas 3 and 6 will help inflammation....also spices such as ginger will help as well

Light weight lifting. Some swimming. Couple of drinks per night. Foods are mostly meats, veggies, pasta. I do have a sweet tooth. Sleep great - 7.5-8 hours per.

Stop drinking every night and try cutting back on pasta. Both cause inflammation that leads to stiff joints.

If you're able to sleep 8 hours then I can't in good conscience help you with inflammation lol. You gotta have some flaws

your diet is contributing to the inflammation in a big way.

Forgot about sugar, maybe the worst culprit of inflammation

Turmeric. Cryotherapy. Omegas as stated.

Remove sugars and simple carbs from your diet.

WHOA, WHOA whoa P.U.T.U.!!!! Let's not get hasty with the no drinking every night recommendation. That's crazy talk.

You could just have arthritis - 47 is old.

Try body tempering.

Maybe I am getting old, I know when I drink my joints will hurt a bit more the next morning but I just suck it up. Dang old age. Have to warm up before workouts a bit longer now too
