How to Avoid Arthritis

Arthritis is a collection of conditions involving inflammation and pain of one or more joints in your body. The concerned joints may be warm, swollen, painful and tender, particularly during movement. Arthritis can cause so much pain and disable you. Unfortunately, arthritis is not curable. You can only treat it and treatment is normally focused on managing the pain. However, you can avoid arthritis by keeping your body flexible while applying natural methods of prevention.

Instructions

• 1

  Drink plenty of water. Water helps prevent arthritis by lubricating your joints and cartilage so that you can have more movement. Water also makes your joints more-efficient shock absorbers. Drink at least ten glasses of water daily.

• 2

  Consume turmeric. This common East Indian spice contains a powerful substance called curcumin. It inhibits the onset of joint pain by suppressing inflammation in your body.

• 3

  Take vitamin C tablets. This important vitamin can help you avoid arthritis by helping your body make more collagen, an important component of cartilage. Take one 500mg tablet once a day.

• 4

  Eat cinnamon. Cinnamon contains a potent ingredient called hydroxychalcone which helps remove deposits and blockages that can cause arthritis. Add cinnamon to warm milk or sliced apples. Eat these foods every day.

• 5

  Practice yoga exercises focusing on your joints. Yoga can prevent arthritis by keeping your joints flexible. Perform yoga exercises every day. See link below for a You Tube video.
