Exercise for Arthritis

Another way of managing the pain caused by arthritis is exercise. The exercise is in fact good for us to stay fit. It is crucial for people suffering from arthritis. It increases the strength and flexibility of the bones and muscles. Hence, it helps to reduce the pain in the joints and helps combat fatigue. The thought of walking when painful joints are bogging you down, is an overwhelming step. But for that, you don’t need to run like one in a marathon or swim as fast as Olympic swimmer. Moderate amount of exercise is enough to maintain a healthy weight as well as to manage the pain.

Need for Exercise

Exercise is one of great ways to improve our overall health and fitness.

Along with the Healthy Diet, Several Benefits of Exercise are:

  • It provides strength to the muscles around the joints.
  • It helps to maintain bone strength too.
  • It gives energy to stay active throughout the day.
  • It helps to control the weight.

Most of the people think that exercise can aggravate the pain in the joints and causes stiffness, but actually this is not the case. Lack of exercise can make your joints more painful and stiff. It is because, keeping your muscles healthy enough is must to support the bones. Lack of exercise weakens the supporting muscles and hence, creating more stress on the joints.
