The rainy season has once again brought relief from the scorching heat, but for thousands of Ghanaians particularly the elderly and people living with rheumatism it also signals the return of persistent joint pains, stiffness and body aches.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of PIWAK Natural Health, producers of the popular 3P Garlic Mixture, Dr Prince Nelson Mortoti, cold and damp weather has a significant impact on people suffering from rheumatism, making movement difficult and reducing their quality of life.
He explained that while rheumatism is not caused by cold weather, lower temperatures and increased humidity often aggravate existing joint conditions, leading to severe pain, swollen joints, muscle stiffness and reduced flexibility.
“The rainy season is usually one of the most difficult periods for elderly people and those living with arthritis and rheumatism. Many wake up with painful joints, swollen knees, stiff fingers, painful backs and difficulty in walking because the cold weather affects already inflamed joints,” he said.
Dr Mortoti noted that ageing naturally weakens the bones and joints, making older adults more vulnerable to rheumatic conditions.
He said the situation could be managed through healthy eating, moderate exercise, adequate rest, proper hydration and the regular intake of natural health supplements that promote bone and joint wellness.
According to him, garlic has long been recognised for its rich nutritional value and contains natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help support healthy bones, muscles and joints.
“It is for this reason that we encourage people, especially senior citizens, to include 3P Garlic Mixture in their daily wellness routine.
The product is made from carefully processed natural garlic to help support stronger bones, healthier joints, improved blood circulation and overall body wellness,” he explained.
Dr Mortoti stressed that maintaining strong bones is essential for healthy ageing, saying many fractures and mobility challenges associated with old age could be minimised through proper nutrition and preventive healthcare.
He added that 3P Garlic Mixture has become a preferred natural health product for many Ghanaians because of its commitment to quality and its role in supporting the body’s natural immune system and general well-being.
The health expert further advised people living with rheumatism not to expose themselves unnecessarily to cold weather.
He recommended wearing warm clothing during chilly mornings and evenings, engaging in gentle stretching exercises, maintaining healthy body weight and seeking medical attention whenever joint pain becomes persistent or severe.
“Natural wellness begins with prevention. Taking care of your bones and joints today will help you remain active and independent tomorrow. We encourage everyone, particularly the elderly, to make 3P Garlic Mixture part of their healthy lifestyle,” he stated.
Dr Mortoti reaffirmed PIWAK Natural Health’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of Ghanaians through safe, quality natural health products and continuous public health education.
This rainy season, he urged Ghanaians not to allow rheumatism and joint pain to limit their daily activities, but to adopt healthier lifestyles while supporting their bone and joint health with 3P Garlic Mixture.
