Ways to Prevent Joint Pain in the Summers

With an estimated 1 million cases, India stands second on the Arthritis World Map. The prevalence is relatively higher amongst the Indian workforce, i.e., the population under 40 years. According to a famous observation, every third person out of 10 people is living with arthritis in India. It is also emerging as one of India’s leading causes of physical disability.

Supplements:

Glucosamine, chondroitin, diacerein, and collagen powder may be tried and help many people improve joint flexibility and reduce pain. Knee injections such as steroids or gel injections may help in reducing pain and improving mobility. Add supplements to your diet if you aren’t getting enough from your meals and snacks. It is always appropriate to consult your doctor before adding supplements or herbs.

Work out:

Physical activity contributes to bone health and improves balance, coordination, and muscle strength. At least 30 minutes a day of weight-bearing and strengthening physical activity is recommended for adults, and 60 minutes a day is recommended for children.

Vitamin K:                        

Vitamin K is essential for proper calcium regulation and bone formation. It increases bone mineral density, prevents fractures, and works with vitamin D to promote good bone health. Hence, to reduce fracture risk, include vitamin k rich foods like dark green leafy vegetables and lettuces at least 1-3 times per week.
