Arthritis can’t always be prevented, but you can take steps to keep joints healthier and moving freely.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:
Today’s Health Tips
* Exercise regularly. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise at least three days each week.
* Maintain a healthy body weight, as being overweight can increase your risk of developing arthritis.
* If you have any signs or symptoms of arthritis, see your doctor promptly to begin early treatment.
* Do your best to protect joints from injury. Be careful when playing sports, and avoid repetitive bending of the joints.
