Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis, developing as a result of the continuous wearing away of the cartilage in a joint. It most frequently occurs in those who undertake chronic repetitive movements as a part of their occupation or hobby. Osteoarthritis is characterised by pain and stiffness (especially after exercise), swelling, deformity, and/or a diminished range of motion. Bone growths or spurs may develop on the outer areas of affected joints, increasing pain and decreasing mobility. There may be audible cracking or grating noises when the joint moves.
Supplementing with Glucosamine has been shown to be as effective as some drugs for the relief of the symptoms associated with degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis.

seeded breads, brown pasta, brown rice etc.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables- especially very colourful ones as they are very high in anti-oxidants.
Avoid excess consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
• Exercise-
You may want to speak to your health care professional to devise a plan of how to go about incorporating exercise into your lifestyle. Low-impact exercise such as swimming and tai chi may be of great benefit. Regular workouts can keep your joints mobile, firm and tone muscle and help improve your range of motion, helping to support and protect your joints. Protect your joints by doing warm-up exercises before activity.
• Control your weight-
You may want to speak to your healthcare professional to devise a plan as to how you will be able to get, or maintain, your weight within reasonable limits. Excess weight causes additional strain on joints which may cause further pain and inflammation. Losing weight through a healthy diet can ease stress on your joints. It’s great for your overall health, too. Your doctor can give you a meal plan or refer you to a nutritionist.
• Warming Apparel-
Wrap a scarf around the affected joint when it aches; the added warmth may bring some relief. However, be careful not to wrap it too tightly. Use Goose down blankets to warm up the joints and help ease pain. For those who are allergic to down, an electric blanket may bring some relief.
• Calcium-
Some forms of osteoarthritis are worsened by weak bones. Be sure to get enough calcium in your diet to help keep your skeleton strong. Low-fat or skim milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products are good sources of calcium.

• Watch your posture-
Standing straight isn’t just about manners. Good posture can help ease back, hip and knee pain.
