Overview

Musculoskeletal health refers to a condition of being healthy without any musculoskeletal conditions. These conditions can include numerous diseases, such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Musculoskeletal health is considered good when the bones, muscles and joints work well together without any pain. People who have good musculoskeletal health are able to perform their desired activities easily and without pain. The consumption of a varied and balanced diet rich in nutrients is helpful in maintaining musculoskeletal health. In the absence of important nutrients the chance of developing bone, joint or muscle disease increases, which can result in symptoms like restricted movement, joint deformity, swelling, pain and stiffness. Nutrition can modulate the immune system, help in suppressing inflammation and pain, and provide specialized nutrients required for maintenance, growth and repair. This book traces the progress of research on musculoskeletal health. It aims to shed light on the role of nutrition for improving musculoskeletal health. Researchers and students engaged in this area of study will be assisted by this book.
