1. Get regular activity

Not only is exercise good for your heart and cardiovascular system, it's also good for your bones, muscles and joints.

2. Drink plenty of water

Cartilage in your joints works as shock absorbers and osteoarthritis leads to the deterioration of that cartilage.

3. Increase your calcium and vitamin intake

Make sure you have a diet rich in dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt. If you are lactose intolerant, supplement your diet with non-dairy foods that are rich in calcium, like broccoli, salmon, spinach, black beans, peanuts, almonds, tofu, sardines and sesame seeds.

4. Maintain your weight 

Increased weight on the load-bearing joints like knees, ankles and hips makes you highly susceptible to osteoarthritis. Luckily, losing weight cuts the risk of arthritis.

5 Exercise regularly with both cardiovascular and

light weightlifting exercises Not only can exercise reduce

your weight, but it keeps your muscles strong and your joints flexible. A sedentary lifestyle leaves you far more susceptible to arthritis as you age.

Try to exercise at least 20 minutes for three days a week if exercise is vigorous, or 30 minutes of moderate exercise for five days a week. Anything else is considered insufficient against protecting against early onset arthritis.visit www.healthheal.in

6. Quit smoking, as it weakens bone health and structure 

Arthritis patients who quit smoking see an improvement in how many joints that hurt, as well as the level of pain they experience.

7. Treat injuries adequately

Repetitive injuries, such as ankle sprains can lead to arthritis in the nearby joints in later years. Make sure you give the joint time to heal properly and train with a physical therapist after serious injuries.
