Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain a healthy body weight because obesity can lead to joint pain. Please avoid strenuous exercise as it may aggravate your arthritis-related joint pain. Instead, you can stretch and engage in low-impact aerobic exercises such as treadmill walking, biking, and swimming. Lifting light weights can also help to improve your muscle strength.
  • Increase your intake of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin D, and calcium-rich supplements. Aside from that, turmeric and fish oils can help to reduce tissue inflammation.
  • Include fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the reduction of inflammation (redness and swelling) and protect the heart.
  • Your sitting posture is critical, especially if you suffer from pain or inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short period of time (10-15 min). Place a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to alleviate pain. In addition, if necessary, a footrest can be used.
  • Follow heat or cold therapy by applying a cold or hot compress to the joints on a regular basis for 15-20 minutes.
  • Relax by meditating, reading, taking a nice bubble bath, or listening to calming music.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol and quit smoking.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is an unpleasant sensation brought on by a disease or damage. Acute (short-term) or chronic pain both exist (long-term). It may be widespread (body-wide aches) or localised (pain in a specific body area). Since different people have varying levels of pain tolerance, pain is very subjective. Even though pain is uncomfortable and inconvenient, it might provide clues as to what is wrong with the body. Irritable bowel syndrome, an intestinal problem that causes stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, or constipation, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscular strain or overuse, cuts, and fibromyalgia are a few conditions that can cause pain (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
