No one is safe from Rheumatoid Arthritis. This problem arises out of an adverse immune reaction,
resulting in intense inflammation in and around the small joints. Both the
young and the elderly are at risk from this kind of joint problem.
Rheumatoid Arthritis can gravely damage joint structure, thereby
greatly reducing joint mobility. It can also generate chronic pain which can
continue for years if not properly treated. If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis,
here are some simple things you can do to keep the affected joints safe from
the damage inflicted by Rheumatoid Arthritis!
Protecting joint health from Rheumatoid Arthritis
1. Maintain your weight: Your body weight places enormous stress on the joints. In
normal situation, your bones and muscles are strong enough to carry the weight,
but due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, the same bones become greatly weakened. Thus,
it is better to maintain your weight to prevent any gradual increase.
2. Keep moving: People with Rheumatoid Arthritis should avoid staying in one
posture for hours on end. To prevent joint damage due to inactivity, try to
change your posture every hour. Regular movement will improve blood circulation
throughout the body, especially the affected joints, allowing them better
access to nutrients and revive the surrounding tissue.
3. Wear supportive shoes: If your foot is affected, wearing the right shoes can
greatly reduce overall joint pain and discomfort. Stay away from slippers or
sandals. Go to the shoe store and take help of the shop assistant in selecting
a sturdy and comfortable pair which provides support to the feet.
4. Eat bone-healthy foods: Certain kinds of foods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids
which reduce unnecessary inflammation. Foods like olive oil, sardines, salmon
and anchovies should be a regular part of your diet as they help to check the
damage being caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis.
5. Exercise properly: Careful exercise under the guidance of an experienced
trainer is vital for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Plan your exercise
routine to combat the joint stiffness and improve blood circulation throughout
the body. Avoid high-impact or intense exercise as much as possible.
6. Buy better tools: Rheumatoid Arthritis reduces grip strength and weakens the
fingers. Thus, you need equipment which is easy to use. Make sure the items
that you regularly use have a good grip and are easily put to work. Get lighter
plates and utensils to reduce the strain on your hands. If you find activities
like cooking increasingly difficult to accomplish, ask your family members for
help.
7. Avoid smoking: While it is a known fact that cigarette smoke is damaging,
it can also worsen the autoimmune reaction and increase the extent of the
damage. Furthermore, the dangerous chemicals in the tobacco can interfere with
your medication, thus prolonging the recovery period.
