Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include turmeric and fish oils, as they help in reducing inflammation.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase joint pain and arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching and impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.
  • Include fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that ramp up inflammation.
  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of the curve to minimise pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
  • Adopting a healthy lifestyle coupled with a diet containing high proteins is the mainstay in the management of arthritic conditions.
