Keep Your Joints Healthy With These Simple Tips

The cartilage that cushions your joints wears away over long periods of time. This gradual wearing away is called osteoarthritis. Without adequate cushioning, the bones in your joints rub against each other, thus causing pain.

Once the cartilage begins to wear out, the process cannot be reversed. It is not possible to reverse the progress of arthritis once it has set in. What you can do is to slow down the process. With some simple steps, you can protect your cartilage from erosion to some extent. 

1. If you're overweight, losing some pounds can take stress off your joints, especially the ones in the knees and hip. This reduces the wear and tear in the joint. You may slow down the progress of arthritis if you lose weight.

2. Joint pain may make you want to stop exercising. Research however shows that aerobic exercise boosts blood flow to the joints which in turn keeps the cartilage well-nourished. Regular exercise can help you to maintain a healthy weight. Doctors suggest that you should stay as active as possible. Try to avoid high-intensity activities like running. It is better to stick to just walking or cycling.

3. The stronger your muscles are, the more stress your joints can absorb. You should focus on strengthening the muscles around the joints. Work with a personal trainer to plan your workout routine.

4. Stretching increases the joint’s range of motion. This not only keeps stiffness at bay but also helps to protect the cartilage from erosion. The more the joints are used, the more nourishment the cartilage can derive from the joint fluids.

5. If you are suffering from pain, then you can try out hot or cold therapy. Heat therapy increases circulation to the affected area, while cold therapy temporarily reduces the sensation of pain.

6. You can employ meditational techniques and relaxation methods to better cope with joint pain. According to National Institutes of Health (NIH), studies have shown that the practice of mindfulness meditation is helpful for people with joint pain. Researchers have also found that meditation keeps arthritis-related depression at bay.
