An Arthritis Relief Strategy That Doesn't Come from a Pill Bottle

From Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health Dr. Mercola
  • More than 53 million Americans live with arthritis, yet regular physical activity is considered one of the most effective non-drug strategies for reducing pain, improving mobility, and supporting independence — without relying solely on medications
  • You don't need intense workouts to benefit; even short bouts of walking, stretching, gardening, or other movement throughout the day help improve joint function and contribute toward recommended activity goals
  • Strength training helps protect painful joints by building the muscles that support them, and blood flow restriction methods such as KAATSU may allow you to gain strength using much lighter weights
  • Sitting for long periods allows joints to stiffen and muscles to weaken, making frequent movement breaks throughout the day almost as important as formal exercise sessions
  • Exercise works best when paired with a diet that reduces inflammation, including eliminating seed oils such as soybean, canola, and sunflower oil that contribute to oxidative damage and joint stress
