This type of mixture provides protein, healthy fats, fiber, and several important micronutrients. However, it should be considered a nutritious food rather than a painkiller or treatment for arthritis, osteoporosis, neuropathy, or other medical conditions.
For older adults, maintaining muscle strength is especially important. Regular resistance exercises such as light weights, resistance bands, or appropriately modified bodyweight exercises can help preserve muscle and physical function.

Joint pain can have many different causes. Osteoarthritis, previous injuries, inflammation, excessive physical strain, gout, and other conditions can all produce pain or stiffness. Nerve-related pain may feel different, including burning, tingling, numbness, electric-shock sensations, or unusual sensitivity.
Persistent nerve symptoms deserve particular attention. Burning or tingling in the feet and hands can sometimes be associated with diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, medication effects, nerve compression, or other conditions. Simply increasing the amount of a homemade recipe may not address the underlying problem.
