Gelatin Desserts May Boost Gut, Joints and Skin Health

Gelatin-based, low-calorie desserts are highlighted as a way to support gut health, joint strength and aging due to the amino acids in collagen. Gelatin can help skin and cartilage, aid gut lining and calcium absorption via lysine, and may reduce inflammation with glycine. The dessert is low in calories (about 10 per tablespoon) and provides roughly 6 g protein, 2 g sugar and no fat; NIH guidance suggests 5–15 g daily if taken as a supplement for up to six months, though human evidence is still limited and much of the data comes from animal studies.

Trainer-approved 10-minute morning routine to boost joint mobility after 60

A sponsor-supported Tom’s Guide wellness piece outlines a trainer-approved 10-minute morning routine to improve joint mobility after age 60. It features chair squats, stair steps, seated arm circles, ankle circles, and wrist rotations to lubricate joints, improve circulation, and support balance with minimal equipment. The routine targets hips, knees, ankles, shoulders and wrists and is suitable for beginners, recommending 2–3 sets of 5–8 reps per exercise. A healthcare professional should be consulted if arthritis or osteoporosis is a concern.

Early markers could spot osteoarthritis risk in young adults before symptoms

Early markers could spot osteoarthritis risk in young adults before symptoms

The article highlights that osteoarthritis is increasingly diagnosed in younger, active individuals and discusses how emerging diagnostic techniques—such as spectral fingerprinting using spectroscopy to analyze blood biomarkers—could detect risk before pain or joint damage appears. This early detection could enable preventive actions like targeted exercise, weight management, and injury prevention, potentially reducing long-term disability and healthcare costs. Current treatments focus on symptom management and may involve injections or, in severe cases, joint replacement, but early identification could shift care toward prevention and preservation of joint health.

Move More, Heal More: Exercise as Osteoarthritis’s First-Line Treatment

New evidence argues that exercise—not pills or surgery—is the most effective, underused treatment for osteoarthritis. Regular movement protects cartilage, strengthens muscles, and can reduce inflammation and pain, with programs like GLA:D showing lasting improvements. Yet health systems often underrefer exercise and push surgical options before non-surgical options are explored. OA is a whole-joint disease influenced by weight and metabolism, and there are no disease-modifying drugs, so an 'exercise first' approach is recommended to improve joint health and overall wellbeing.
