HEALTHY HABITS TO PREVENT ARTHRITIS
While arthritis is common in older adults, it effects people of all
ages and is the leading cause of disability in America. You can’t
always prevent arthritis, but there are healthy steps you can take
to reduce your risk of developing achy joints.
Eat healthy. Certain fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3s have a number of health benefits—and may reduce
inflammation in the body.
Watch your weight. Excess weight can put pressure on your
joints. Over time, the extra strain breaks down the cartilage that
cushions these joints which leads to pain and inflammation.
Exercise. Staying active is one of the most optimal ways to keep
your joints healthy. As little as 30 minutes a day of physical
activity strengthens the muscles around the joints.
Avoid or treat injuries immediately. Playing it safe is always
the best bet. To avoid injury, always use the proper safety
equipment while playing sports, and learn the correct exercise
techniques. If an injury does occur, seek treatment immediately.
Protect your joints. The way you walk, pick up objects, or sit
can have a negative impact on your joints. Lift with your knees
and hips—not your back—when picking up objects. Carry items
close to your body, so you don’t put too much strain on your
wrists. If you sit for long periods of time, make sure that your
back, legs, and arms are well supported.
Arthritis can be hereditary or occur as you age. Early diagnosis
and immediate treatment and ongoing management can help
maintain your quality of life while living with arthritis.
