Arthritis and Joint Health: Protect Your Joints

Arthritis is a group of diseases causing inflammation and pain in the joints (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis). Over 50 million adults in the U.S. are affected, limiting mobility and reducing quality of life.What Are the Causes?

• Aging: Joint cartilage wears down over time.
• Injuries: Past injuries can trigger arthritis.
• Genetic Predisposition: A family history increases risk.
• Obesity: Excess weight puts strain on joints.
• Autoimmune Diseases: In rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks joints.

What Are the Consequences?

• Chronic joint pain and stiffness.
• Limited mobility.
• Swelling and deformity.
• Fatigue and depression.
• Difficulty with daily activities.

What Should You Pay Attention To?

• Exercise: Low-impact activities (swimming, yoga) support joints.
• Weight Control: Losing excess weight reduces joint strain.
• Orthopedic Support: Use braces or support pillows.
• Healthy Diet: Consume omega-3s and anti-inflammatory foods.
• Physical Therapy: Seek professional support.
• Doctor Visits: Follow medication and treatment plans.
