Managing Arthritis

Arthritis needs to firstly be managed with lifestyle changes:

•    loosing weight if necessary

•    eating a healthy balanced

•    getting adequate rest

•    exercising to maintain strength and stability and maintain a healthy weight and keep pressure off the joints

•    drink plenty of water

•    minimise salt, caffeine and alcohol intake

•    increase your essential oil intake, such as; salmon, tuna, flaxseed oil, avocados, almonds.

If your arthritis cannot be managed with healthy lifestyle changes alone, your doctor will recommend you different treatments or a combination of treatments. Unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis, however symptoms can be treated. You should also ask your doctor the interactions, and side effects that any treatment may have, and talk to them about the other medications and dietary supplements you may be taking.
