Although exercise will not cure or prevent Parkinson’s from advancing, it is a great way to keep joints flexible and muscles strong. Depending on the condition each patient will participate in different exercises. Start of with warm up and stretching exercises to loosen up the muscles. Then engage in strengthening exercise to keep the muscles and joints strong. Water therapy exercises are great to help with those with balance problems.

Arthritis and food

Arthritis may be incurable but there are ways to manage arthritis and keep it under control. Start with the easiest changes you can make, the food you eat. Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are caused by the inflammation of joints. Eating anti-inflammatory foods and avoid inflammatory foods can reduce the risk of  inflammation and pain. Omega 3 fatty acids rich foods such as salmon and tuna, ginger, turmeric, and flaxseed all have anti-inflammatory properties. Arthritis patients should avoid omega 6 fatty acids, according to WebMD, which “may also promote inflammatory and/or autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis”. Learn more about food and arthritis through “Can Your Diet Help Relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis?“. Arthritis patients should also consume more vegetables and fruits which contain higher levels of vitamin C and E which promotes anti-oxidant properties. Everyone’s health is different and there is no one set diet for arthritis patients. However, eating foods with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help with arthritis.
