I believe everyone is familiar with the term arthritis. Especially for the white-collar class sitting by the computer for seven or eight hours, leading to excessive strain on the lumbar intervertebral disc and cervical vertebrae. Over time, with air conditioning around the waist, as the nutrition of joint cartilage flows out and external load continues to act, public welfare activities can cause pain in the neck, shoulder, and wrist areas, and it's very easy to trigger lumbar disc herniation and cervical spondylosis and other joint diseases. By the time you realize the symptoms, the best opportunity for health care has already been missed.
The neck, shoulder, and wrist pain of the white-collar class are actually due to the accumulation of soft wear and tear. Soft wear refers to the overuse of body joints caused by long-term high-intensity life, leading to non-traumatic pain, stiffness, and other discomforts, and this state over a long period is very likely to induce joint symptoms. We call this kind of damage caused by overuse "soft wear". "Soft wear" differs from sudden joint injuries caused by trauma. The biggest victim of this wear is the articular cartilage.
The harm of soft wear is obvious, so how should we prevent and treat it? Experts point out that the most basic way to prevent this sub-health condition is naturally to engage in more relaxation activities and exercise more, which is exactly what most white-collar workers lack. As for the treatment of joint diseases caused by soft wear, it is even more troublesome. Simply using conservative treatments such as pain relief and traction, or just massaging, treats the symptoms but not the root cause! Experts worry: Due to the current situation where white-collar workers have too much work pressure, no time to exercise or relax, and the urban environment does not provide many venues for such people to exercise.
Is there no way to relieve soft wear then? Obviously not. In fact, if we cannot ensure more relaxation activities and more exercise, another effective way to care for soft wear is to supplement joint nutrients, and products that allow damaged cartilage to regenerate. Many people try single components like glucosamine, collagen, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to restore damaged cartilage, but almost none see results. As for supplementing calcium, it’s heading in the wrong direction entirely. In Japan, the cartilage of a shark called sawtooth shark has been proven to have cartilage regeneration functions, and this cartilage regeneration function has been verified through actual clinical applications. Corresponding products have achieved great success in Japan. Among them, Bai'ao Shark stands out, occupying 95% of the Japanese pure natural shark cartilage powder market share.
Nowadays, various physical ailments caused by soft wear are increasingly drawing attention from all social classes. Many companies have taken corresponding measures to protect their employees' health. It is hoped that more and more people can overcome the harm brought by "soft wear" with a scientific attitude.
