Excellent video Charlie! I used to be a brick layer years ago, and that means one can become more addicted to watching these videos! Keep up the good work! :)

There’s a lot of types of arthritis Charlie the common one us brickies get is to do with wear and tear on the joints not fucking bread

[@spex357]

Over work your arms or legs and you may train yourself to lead with either, and end up #crippled in later life. You will alter your diet because your arms might no longer be able to grip or do anything mechanical ever again. No kneading dough, no chopping veg, no carrying a cup of tea, no walking, no hoovering, no nothing. If you have a small kitchen get ready for loads of gadgets. A side effect from years of gripping the ground with your leading foot, especially for those in mud and on wobbly scaffold is a fuming big toe later in life as it's sick of gripping. Tendons in your ankle will get sick of trying to control your foot, and your Knee will suddenly not like landing on anything. You might soldier on until your hips remind you that they have been over worked as well. On a good note you will get fantastic lockdown scores. If you have Viking blood in you and use a hammer a lot, chances are you'll get a Dupuytrens contracture in your right palm that curls your finger inwards and stops you putting your hand flat. Tendonitis or dual epicondulitus cut's your driving time along with everything else including doing up your shoe laces or a trouser belt. If you've worked over your head a lot, your shoulders will interfere with your sleep like your tendons and your hips do, and screw your quality of life for ever. I've managed to do all that and more whilst eating really well. Processed anything like food, or laying blocks or Plastering a wall, or cutting hair, or pulling veg, etc, etc, daily for a long period, is bad for us. The spreadsheet says number 32 must be finished by Friday, but the Doctor said you'll never make money with your arms again.

Charlie mate,there are two types off Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis is Wear and tear of the joints where the synovial fluid runs dry and that cushion just depletes and the bones in the joints just grind on each other,not pleasent. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a Autoimmune Disease where the body attacks itself.Trust me I've studied this for many years and extreme diet changes rarely have any effect in fact some people have had adverse affects doing this where some have had some success. The problem is everybody's body reacts differently to dietary change and one won't suit another I've tried it all over the years and none of it has made any difference to my condition so not through lack of effort, currently on two weekly Bio injections which cost 10k a year not a cure but stop it getting any worse, medication works for me Charlie 👍💙

[@paulharris7025]

There’s also Reactive arthritis which I had. It lasted with me about 6 weeks and started in my left wrist, stayed there and also went to my right wrist and within about three weeks was effecting every joint in my body. Fucking agony, after about six weeks it started easing and after about ten weeks finally left my right thumb. Weird as fuck but thankfully went away.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

@@paulharris7025 Yes mate I get the comes and go bits, no fun 👍

[@63flight]

Also there is traumatic arthritis. Happens after an injury. Broke my leg on the job pretty bad. Got a rod and some screws in there and ever since I can't get a regular x-ray because the arthritis just shows like a cloud on the whole thing. You stay on the trowel long enough any diet will not prevent the inevitable. My two cents. Love Charlie's channel and yours too Bricklayers Worldwide. 👍

Can agree that healthy diet contributes to better joints ect but I don't think saying doctors are useless and only there to sell pills, they've dedicated there life and gone to uni ect to help people, whenever I've been to the doctors they've always mentioned having a better diet, it's common sense

[@ThinkingChair_]

Just a quick one! Why don't you stand the bottom couple of blocks up in your stacks? Saves bending that little bit more?

[@dazza9448]

Arthritis is a condition brought on over time for the joints. Where one bone meets another there is a natural gel like protective barrier that wears down over time due to repetitive action or just general wear and tear until you’re at an age where joints are almost dry contact which causes friction and the inflammation you mentioned as you age which gives you the pain & discomfort It’s nothing to do with what you eat Although you’re right about processed food it is crap But arthritis is not caused by what you put in your mouth bud

[@mikecollins2333]

Charlie which form of arthritis are you talking about Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid, with rheumatoid it’s the immune system getting messages that there is an infection in the joint it kicks into action and sends white corpuscles to the joint doesn’t find any infection so they attack the linings in the joint. Osteoarthritis is just joints that are easily affected by wear and tear. All the medication I take for rheumatoid arthritis is designed to knock down the immune system to stop it attacking my joints.

[@SS-ux6cg]

Take the diet one step further and just eat beef, you’ll feel even better. Our digestive systems are not made to digest vegetables properly either. The cow, or any ruminant animal (animals with four stomachs) do the work of digesting the vegetables for us.

[@cyberdonblue4413]

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the UK, affecting nearly 9 million people. It can occur at any age as a result of an injury or be associated with other joint-related conditions, such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the joint. This makes movement more difficult than usual, leading to pain and stiffness. Once the cartilage lining starts to roughen and thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to work harder. This can cause swelling and the formation of bony spurs called osteophytes. Severe loss of cartilage can lead to bone rubbing on bone, altering the shape of the joint and forcing the bones out of their normal position. The most commonly affected joints are those in the: hands spine knees hips. Rheumatoid arthritis affects more than 400,000 people in the UK. It often starts when a person is between 40 and 50 years old. Women are 3 times more likely to be affected than men. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system targets affected joints, which leads to pain and swelling.

Apprenticeships is about learning, then instilling a bit of production mentally now and again and definitely thereafter. The improvement stage in years after depends on your trade. Thereafter, have the “confidence” to do anything within your trade. Your not expected to know everything, even when your at any age. But with confidence, you can do anything.

I'm a big advocate of you are what you eat. For me personally, the Mediterranean diet is great. It's massively anti-inflam and not boring at all. Just look at those elderly Greek or Spanish etc people that live active lives in their 80's - 90's, it's all because of their diet. They don't and never have ate shite from Maccy d's or kebabs or shit loads of Monster energy. I have followed that diet strict for a few years now and have never felt better, not even when i was in my 20's.

[@doonhilla]

@@martin2466 Glad to hear it bro.

[@johncoppock3823]

Interesting intro - you should make that into a standalone video and show us what you are eating now. It is tricky to find a good and varied diet. You are spot on about GP, many have monetised their practices after all the BMA brain-washing. There are still some great doctors if you can get access to some hospital doctors who do have real interest in patients, not just making money. So yes you are right, look after yourself to avoid a life of pain, and don't assume doctors can bail you out when it goes pair shaped. The good news is having changed your diet you will find you start to enjoy the new stuff you are eating. Food is the greatest medicine. GP sadly get minimal training in nutrition. The other health point is exercise. As builders you have that cracked, and long as you don't get silly with it. Best of luck to all in the trade.
