Arthritis doesn’t have a single cause, but there are many factors that that contribute to the development of this disease. Among them, poor liver detoxifying capacity; disturbed blood sugar control; excess free radicals in the body; lack of essential fats; allergies; too much refined sugar, fat and protein; too many stimulants (tea, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes); lack of vital vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids; poor posture; previous bone strain; infections; excess weight. Also, it’s worth pointing out that arthritis isn’t limited to golden oldies – do enough high-impact sport and you could have to deal with it much earlier than you think.

So what steps can you take to combat arthritis? Exercise is an important part of any anti-arthritis programme. Gentle weight training, suppleness (yoga) and stamina activities (walking, running) are important aspects that should be part of your exercise plan. Secondly, ditch the junk food and increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
