Yes, You Can Live A Healthy Life With Arthritis

By V K Rajagopalan


If you are an arthritis sufferer, you are well aware that arthritis can be very unpleasant and debilitating when it comes to your daily activities. Sometimes relief from the pain seems impossible to find and some people assume their normal, active lives are a thing of the past.

Surprisingly, controlled alcohol consumption won't worsen the effects of your arthritis. Some studies, in fact, suggest that some arthritis symptoms may be ameliorated by a modest alcohol intake.

There are many changes you can make to your home that will help you with daily tasks. Make the changes needed by looking at the details of your daily life. As an example, it may make sense to change the pulls on your kitchen cabinets or find tools that can be handled more easily. You can help yourself out by making these changes.

If you have been wearing your faithful old runners or walking shoes for a year, then it is probably time to toss them. By wearing old shoes, you increase the amount of pressure on your joints, as such giving you little support and comfort. When this is the case, it is time for new shoes.

Therapy with LED light is a terrific treatment option for individuals suffering from arthritis pain. LED light therapy has been approved by the FDA for arthritis suffers. It is easy to use, cheap, and provides a certain amount of pain relief. You can find these simple tools in drugstores or other department stores. Establishing a routine of 15 minutes to half an hour, twice a day can alleviate a great deal of arthritis pain.

Strength training has been proven to increase, or simply maintain muscle strength. Having more strength can help your arthritis pain. By performing strength training exercises that are moderate to high in intensity, you can improve yourself physically and emotionally in the long run. You can't expect this to quickly cure all problems, but over the long run, it really helps.

Discuss your problems as soon as you notice them with a health care professional so you can start treatment as soon as possible. Fighting the progression and symptoms of arthritis is easier the sooner you get started, and it's the best way to minimize the damage inflicted on your joints. Take action immediately when you first receive the diagnosis. Talk to your doctor and get your treatment started.

Cutting back on stress and taking the time to relax can have a great positive effect on your arthritis. Stress causes the body to release certain chemicals that cause inflammation and increased sensitivity to pain. These exacerbate arthritis symptoms. Getting a little regular exercise or scheduling more thoroughly (to eliminate the unexpected) can reduce the level of stress you experience and keep your arthritis at bay.

These proven tips have helped others gain control of their arthritis, and they can help you too. If arthritis is something you are wrestling with, there are certain steps to managing your pain that you can try.
