The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 7, 2006 - 11 Healthy seniors - controlling your joint pain Tips to help you feel great everyday! You are looking good, but chances are, your joints are not aging as gracefully as you are. Years of wear and tear can sometimes take their toll, leading to injury or even osteoarthritis. The pain of osteoarthritis and other degenerating conditions is caused by a breakdown of the smooth cushioning cartilage material inside the joints. As a result, movement especially in weight-bearing joints like the neck, lower back, knees and hips becomes sore and difficult. Most pain can be minimized however if you take a few precautions: · Keep your joints in good working order. Stay fit with daily moderate exercise to strengthen muscles and increase bone density. · Start any activity slowly and always do warm-up exercises. · Use a kneepad. · Combine warm and cold compresses to arthritic joints. Start with heat; end with cold. · Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to maintain your weight. Overweight individuals have a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knees. · Talk to a health professional about taking more vitamins, minerals, and a cartilage-building supplements. - News Canada FREE CONSULTATION FREE PARKING W E A R E C O M F O R T K E E P E R STM KEEPING SENIORS INFORMED Our LivingWell Events are Open to the Public (formerly Angels Diner) Seniors Delight Try our Healthy Menu at Healthy ry y Healthy ealthy althy lt Prices.
