Drug-Food Interactions

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help reduce tissue inflammation.
Do not engage in strenuous exercise, as it may worsen joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low-impact aerobic exercise like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
For chronic conditions such as arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fish are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce levels of a chemical called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammatory conditions. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use a back support, such as a rolled-up towel, at the back of your curve to minimise pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Additionally, you can use a footrest if needed.
