Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain a healthy body weight, as obesity may cause joint pains. Do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis.
  • Instead, you can do stretching and low-impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.
  • In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation (redness and swelling).
  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to minimize pain. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
