Why Getting Up From A Chair Gets Harder Each Year (It’s Not Age)

How do some folks stay active well into their 70s, 80s, and even 90s… while others find themselves hobbling down stairs or needing to rock back and forth just to get out of a chair?

According to a breakthrough discovery by Harvard University scientists, it comes down to a hidden culprit that dries out your joints from the inside: “joint drought.”

When this “drought” is addressed, it not only soothes joint discomfort but makes joints feel younger and more mobile than they have in years. The good news? Doing this is easy, affordable, and takes just 5 seconds a day.

A Boston medical doctor recently recorded a short presentation explaining exactly what joint drought is — and how this 5-second trick can help beat it starting today.

His video quickly went viral with over seven million views. And thousands across the country are singing the praises of this method on social media.

Kay Gilbert from Athens, Alabama wrote, “I’m 73 and feel like running all over the place again. My kids say I outshop them in Walmart.”

Now, what about you? Could your joints use some relief? Watch this viral video today!
