Tame Arthritis Symptoms
(HealthDay News) -- Arthritis can't always be prevented, but you can take steps to keep joints healthier and moving freely.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:
- 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.
