get moving
You need 'em all.
Water, Sleep, Diet, and Eustress (positive stress) all have to be present in the right amounts to optimize your body's ability to repair joint tissues.
The first question I get asked about this is "Well, what's the right amount?"
Here you go:
Water: .25 to .5 oz per pound of bodyweight per day
Sleep: 7 to 9 hours on average per night
Diet (protein only): 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of bodyweight per day
Eustress (exercise only): 30-60 minutes per day
This information comes, in part, from the National Strength & Conditioning Association's recommendations for active adults.
If you know you're fairly deficient in ANY of these areas, fixing that first will go a long way towards reducing your pain and moving the way you want to again.
Once these numbers become a normal part of your life, the ceiling on how far you can turn back the clock on your joint damage is MUCH higher than you would ever believe.
You've got this.
