  • An appropriate exercise can help you manage your weight, keep your joints flexible, strengthen muscles around your joints, and offers more support.
  • Heat and cold treatments can help relieve arthritis pain and inflammation.
  • A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can help boost your immune system and overall health.
  • Avoid a diet like a diet rich in red meat, processed foods, saturated fat, and added sugar and salt might aggravate inflammation, which is a characteristic of arthritis.
  • Limit alcohol and caffeine intake and quit smoking.
