Arthritis Awareness Month

It is Arthritis Awareness Month. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints which causes stiffness and pain. Exercising may alleviate the pain caused by arthritis. Applying heat and then ice helps to reduce the inflammation. Sitting too long makes the pain and stiffness worse. Therefore, doing gentle movements throughout the day will help you have better mobility. 

Adding fruits such as cherries, berries, and bananas fight the inflammation that is caused by arthritis. Also, including vegetables such as bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and carrots helps with the inflammation. Controlling your weight also helps lessen the pain. Incorporating supplements such as turmeric, magnesium, and oil helps to alleviate the pain. Before adding supplements to your diet, consult with your primary doctor. Here are more resources about Arthritis Awareness Month.
