Winter: 'Tis the Season for Joint Stiffness and Pain

This evening at the beginning of my yoga class, the instructor asked us to go into downward dog. The joint cracks went off like the fireworks finale on the 4th of July. All I could think was, "Hello Winter!"

Winter is the season of accentuated joint stiffness. Many people have contacted me complaining about heightened joint pain. There are several ways to alleviate joint stiffness...

Questions:

Are you following a winter diet? For example, are you adding more fats and heavy proteins to your diet? For many of us, this is not the time to be raw. If you're a meat eater, this is the time to eat more meat (but PLEASE make certain that it's organic, or, at least, the best possible quality).

If you're on the JOOSTM Cleanse, are you adding a little more oil and more nuts and avocado?

Are you giving yourself a sesame oil massage each day before you shower?

Are you getting enough sleep?

How's your stress level?
