Help Your Joints

◆ EXERCISE: Activity strengthens muscles which, in turn, support the joints. ◆ TRY YOGA TO INCREASE STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY.

◆ UP YOUR OMEGA 3:

This vital antiinflammatory compound is found in oily fish, almonds and walnut oil. And eat more broccoli – it contains sulforaphane which may block enzymes linked to joint destruction.

◆ LOSE EXCESS WEIGHT:

Because knees and hips are commonly affected by joint pain, being overweight makes them particularly vulnerable.

◆ ALWAYS WARM UP AND COOL DOWN WHEN EXERCISING.
