Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Weight is the 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 helps decrease pain and improve 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 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.
