Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do low-impact aerobic movements like walking on a treadmill and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
  • 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 to minimise pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
  • Avoid a high purine-rich diet, including organ meats (kidneys, liver, and sweetbreads) and oily fish (sardines, anchovies, and herring).
  • Limit meat in favour of plant-based proteins like beans and legumes.
  • Eat complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain bread, fruits, and vegetables, rather than sugary sweets and refined carbohydrates like white bread.
  • Avoid drinking beer and alcoholic beverages and drink plenty of water or other nonalcoholic beverages.
