Weight Management
Excessive weight adds pressure on joints, raising arthritis risk,
especially osteoarthritis. So, maintain a healthy weight with a balanced diet and regular
physical activity.
Healthy Diet
Consume a varied diet with anti-inflammatory foods like fruits,
vegetables, fish, nuts, and seeds to lower the possibility of arthritis and inflammation.
Stress Management
Manage chronic stress to mitigate inflammation associated with
arthritis. Utilize relaxation methods like deep breathing or meditation.
Active Lifestyle
Regular exercise maintains joint flexibility, strengthens muscles,
reduces inflammation, and improves cardiovascular health. Aim for 150 minutes weekly.
Prevent Joint Injuries
Prevent joint injury and arthritis by avoiding high-impact activities
and heavy lifting, maintaining proper body mechanics, wearing supportive footwear, and using
protective gear.
Quit smoking
Smoking raises rheumatoid arthritis risk and worsens symptoms. Thus,
seek healthcare support, use cessation aids, and manage triggers effectively.
