Getting out there in nature and keeping your body moving goes a long way toward keeping those cracks and pops from getting the best of you. Might I suggest daily doses of turmeric? Whether you dry it and grind into powder for capsules or chop off small pieces and make tea from them, it does wonders for your joints.
You have been blessed by living the dream so many people never find.
Thanks @fernowl13, we do feel blessed! Turmeric is great advice!! I take it daily as part of my regime and use it in a lot of our food. I just love a cup of golden tea before bed as well. We are on a mission to keep those aches and pains as minimal as possible. Extensive stretching & yoga type exercises are really beneficial as well - it's the best way to start the day.
