Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Green tea , a precious drink in traditional Chinese and many culture in Southeast Asia cultures used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years has been found to consist the property of suppressed autoimmune arthritis(238) through its phytochemical epigallocatechin-3-Gallate
(EGCG) in upregulation of the Nrf-2 antioxidant pathway in -mediated immunoregulation and ameliorated experimental arthritis in animal study(236).
Dr. Riegsecker S and the research team at the University of Toledo said," (The) potential benefits of green tea polyphenol EGCG in the prevention and treatment of vascular inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis,.........., extensive clinical evidence of the 'synovial inflammation-systemic inflammation' link and the benefits of EGCG in regulating cytokine-driven inflammation in the pathogenesis of RA and its CV complication"(237).

According to the University of Kerala, lycopene (all-trans) found in tomato may be a better natural source with increased activity and without side effects in the treatment of anti-inflammatory diseases, in the study on type II collagen induced arthritis in Sprague Dawley rats(241). In a total of 184,643 US women followed in the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II cohorts in 1980-2004 study showed that intake of antioxidants including lycopene, may protect against development of rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus by combating oxidative stress(242).
