Combat Arthritis With Regular Exercise

Mr. Roshan dislikes exercising. His doctor had suggested light aerobic exercise at least 3 times a week. However, his knees were just too stiff to get anything done. The stiffness along with the intermittent pain struck down even the thought of doing exercise. “Let’s not make things worse,” Mr. Roshan thought, “by doing silly exercises.” His wife, on the other hand, insisted that he should follow the doctor’s advice. This led to many squabbles between the two.

Mr. Roshan’s dilemma is, sadly, quite common. When joint pain strikes, it is human nature to take rest and avoid any strenuous activities. Although this strategy seems to make sense, the latest research says that such a practice is immensely harmful.

According to modern research, exercising a few times every week can ease pain, decrease stiffness, keep the heart strong and the brain while strengthening the muscles.

Is walking enough in fighting arthritis?

While working is a decent exercise for people with arthritis, it is not enough. Doctors nowadays suggest mild strength training to arthritis patients along with swimming or bicycling.

• Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.
• Regular exercise helps to maintain your bone strength.
