Maintain a healthy weight
According to Dr. Murthy, at Dharamshila Narayana Hospital, India, maintaining a healthy weight will reduce joint damage and reduce pain in affected joints.
Stay physically active
Regular physical activity helps strengthen the muscles around your joints, which help support and stabilize your joints. Low-impact exercises like walking and cycling are especially beneficial for joint health because they don’t put undue stress on your joints.
Proper posture
Maintaining good posture when sitting, standing or lifting heavy objects is essential to reduce unnecessary stress on joints.
Eat anti-inflammatory foods
A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help reduce joint pain and inflammation, says Dr. Murthy. Nutrients essential for joint health include:
- Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish, flaxseeds and walnuts.
- Calcium and Vitamin D, nutrients important for bone health, are available in dairy products and green vegetables.
- Vitamins C and E, found in fruits and vegetables, protect joints from oxidative stress.
Stay hydrated
Cartilage is made up mostly of water, keeping it hydrated will ensure that it remains supple during movement.
Stress Management
Chronic stress can lead to stress on the joints, experts add. Stress reduction techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises can help improve overall joint health.
