Arthritis is a general term used to describe conditions that cause pain and inflammation in the joints. Medical experts have identified over 100 different types of arthritis — osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis among the most common — but, no matter the precise condition, standard treatment involves the use of anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications.
Back pain is a common ailment among people of all ages. More than 26 million Americans between the ages of 20-64 experience frequent back pain, and the majority of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives. It is one of the most common reasons for missed work, and low back pain is the single leading cause of disability in Americans under 45.
In addition to cloudy skies, dropping temperatures and whipping winds, you can also add joint pain to the list of signs that a storm is brewing.
Adapting to a healthy diet
Adapting to a healthy diet can contribute to several health benefits, including reducing arthritis symptoms. If you have arthritis, you may feel your symptoms worsen with changes in the weather or an increase in activity. What many people living with arthritis don’t realize is that diet can also have an effect on arthritis symptoms. Arthritis is an inflammatory disease, and certain foods cause an increase in inflammation, thus worsening arthritis pain.
