6 Tips For Arthritis

Arthritis can damage not only your joints, but also internal organs and skin.

Here are some ideas:

1. Try to keep at a healthy weight that’s normal for your height.
2. Exercise. A health professional can show you how to move more easily. Going for a walk every day will help, too.
3. If you had a severe joint injury, be careful about protecting it during future activities.
4. Don’t smoke. People who smoke are more likely to get rheumatoid arthritis, and their symptoms tend to be worse.
5. Take your medicines when and how you are supposed to. They can help reduce pain and stiffness.
6. Try taking a warm shower in the morning.
