Diet
Your diet is very important. It is through your diet your body receives the necessary nutrients and minerals it requires to heal and rebuild itself. Eating the right or wrong foods can help or hinder this process. We need to focus on getting the necessary nutrients and vitamins to help your body heal and rebuild itself.
Avoid stimulants such as alcohol and smoking
For many of you this will be a very hard task for you to achieve, by avoiding stimulants you will be helping your body greatly. It would reduce the strain on your liver and kidneys in detoxifying your body of harmful toxins. Avoiding alcohol and smoking would greatly help reduce heart disease, lung cancer, liver disease and other major diseases.
Exercise
Exercise helps maintain body weight, strengthen the bones and muscles, helps keep the muscles and joints supple and helps bring circulation to the inflamed area.
In addition to the above benefits, exercise also stimulates the release endorphins, which is the body’s natural painkiller.
Weight control
Controlling your weight will reduce the stress on weight bearing joints such as the knee and ankles. Research has shown that overweight people are more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee.
Have adequate sleep
Sleep is extremely important. During sleep, your body can repair itself and rid itself of harmful toxins. Lack of sleep can cause many problems. If your have problems sleeping then action needs to be taken – please consult your doctor for any further advice.
Learning to enjoy yourself and having a laugh
When people have a laugh and enjoy themselves they usually forget about the pain that arthritis brings them.
It is important to de-stress yourself and be happy. Being happy and having a laugh promotes good circulation and helps the body release endorphins. Research has shown that people that are more relaxed and laugh more have more control and feel less pain.
“Patients who seem to experience the lowest levels of pain are invariably those who can laugh, sometimes at themselves, in times of difficulty or danger.”The Healing Journey by Matthew Manning
