10 Tips to Overcome Morning Stiffness
by Robert Chu, PhD, Lac
Do you find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning, because of too much pain? Does it take you an hour or two for your body to “warm up” and your joints and muscles to loosen before you can tackle the tasks of the day? You are not alone.
According to the American College of Rheumatology, Fibromyalgia affects 3 to 6 million Americans. That's 1 in 50 Americans, with seven times more the frequency in women
than in men. And according to the NHIS, by 2030 an estimated 67 million Americans are projected to have doctor-diagnosed arthritis.
Morning stiffness is one of the more common complaints doctors hear about from patients with fibromyalgia, arthritis, rheumatism and those whose bodies no longer rebound after a day of activity—even gardening—like it used to.
Don't let morning stiffness cut your day short, by starting it later… And while most people reach for muscle relaxants like Motrin and pain relievers like Aleve to get them going, you don't need to.
Main Causes of Morning Stiffness
The basic causes of morning stiffness are lack of daily physical activity, being overweight, having a poor diet, not sleeping properly, and being in an environment that
tends to be cold and/or damp.
Exercising on a daily basis (even walking while swinging your arms) is a great way to release those feel-good endorphins, get the blood moving and help clear nasty toxins from the body.
Being overweight causes you to carrying unnecessary poundage, which puts strain on your joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
A poor diet that is high in simple carbohydrates causes weak muscles, bad posture and lethargy.
A poor sleeping posture can lock your body in a bad position for hours, causing reduced blood flow to the local muscles, and a buildup of lactic acid, causing stiffness.
Living or working in cold or damp environment causes muscles to stiffen because the cold or damp affects the blood flow throughout the body.
Relieving Morning Stiffness
You can be happy to know that what is causing your morning stiffness can be avoided or corrected…

Murray,
It sounds like you are on a great start! Normally, you can expect to see changes in blood pressure in and around 4-6 weeks, as outlined in our report. We’d love to hear about your progress in that time!
I have purchased your report on hypertension and you asked to give a response. I have wanted to control my blood pressure without drugs but seem unable to do so. I am 60 years old and have a family history of hypertension. I am not overweight, exercise regularly, have an excellent diet and meditate. I tried to control it initially with herbal remedies (under a naturopath) and supplements but had had to take “Inhibace” (ACE drug)as the pressure would not reduce. This caused the dry cough and my doctor then reduced the dose in order to stop the cough. I took the opportunity to try your system for 2 weeks(cayenne pepper, celery seeds, apple cider vinegar, reduced salt, 70% chocolate) but with no change so far. How long before I see any change in BP?
