Best Cure is Still Prevention

Must read

The term arthritis is derived from the
Greek word "athron", or joint, while "itis" means
inflammation.

Arthritis is one of the most common types
of joint-disabling diseases. In fact,
there are over 200 types of arthritis, but the two most prevalent forms are
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint
disease confined to local attacks on individuals. It is basically a product of normal wear and tear in the joints
over years of usage. This includes the knee and hip joints of an overweight
person; joints injured in an accident or sports; joints subjected to stresses
at work or play; or joints with hidden birth defects.

In contrast, rheumatoid arthritis is a
painful, even-disabling disease of the immune system that triggers
discomfort and swelling in non-specific
joints, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, tendons and connective tissues. It can strike at any age, occurring mainly in
the 25-40 year age group.

Arthritis can be significantly reduced by
following these simple guidelines:

  • Watch
    your weight
  • Choose a well-balanced diet based on
    complex carbohydrates, such as pasta, bread, rice and potatoes, together with
    high-fibre foods.
  • Avoid animal fats. Stock up plenty of fresh fruits and
    vegetables instead.
  • Exercise daily. It is an excellent way to delay the onset of arthritis.
  • Consuming cod liver oil also works wonders.
