Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercise like walking on the treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.

  • In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize levels of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.

  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short duration of time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your spine curve to minimize pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
