Arthritis can be caused by hidden food allergies and unresolved infections. Once the joint starts to deteriorate, the body tries to clean up the mess, resulting in an autoimmune response and the condition gets worse.

It makes sense that people that aren’t sleeping well are not able to repair themselves and age, or fall apart - disability, faster. Taking drugs to sleep does not handle the underlying problem, which in my experience is a B vitamin deficiency, and they still aren’t able to repair and heal themselves from all of the day’s activities.
