Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Weight is an essential connection between diet and osteoarthritis. Obesity or being overweight puts more strain on your joints. Inflammation is also caused by excess fat, which can exacerbate symptoms. Losing weight has decreased pain and improved physical function and mobility.
- 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 that’s rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can help boost your immune system and your overall health.
- Avoid diet containing red meat, processed foods, saturated fat, and added sugar and salt as they might aggravate inflammation, which is a characteristic of arthritis.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine intake.
- Quit smoking.
