Now is the time to get moving!
Did you know that moving your joints helps if you have osteoarthritis? This means that activities of daily living – things like gardening and washing your car, can help keep your joints mobile and your body active. In addition to providing some physical movement these activities can also help you manage your weight, which is critical for limiting the impact on our joints that excess weight can cause.
Managing Arthritis
Remember not to stay in any one position (like kneeling while gardening) for too long. Get up and move around. And, instead of kneeling, try sitting “Indian-style” while gardening. If you start to get tired, take a break and rest or do something else.
Another excellent non-impact activity for those with osteoarthritis is yoga. There are many forms of yoga and they all can help strengthen and stretch your body.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplements
Glucosamine and chondroitin have been clinically shown to help support joint health and flexibility. Glucosamine is necessary to protect and rebuild cartilage tissue and keep joints strong & healthy. Chondroitin naturally occurs in the connective tissue to cushion and lubricate cartilage for ease of joint movement. Try a liquid supplement that's easy to swallow and fast absorbing.
