Got Arthritis? Keep Moving.

Anyone with arthritis knows that movement is painful but they also know that inactivity increases the pain. Unfortunately, many people with arthritis are not physically active. In study of 1000 people age 49 to 84 years, ninety percent were not exercising (20 minutes of moderate activity daily) and forty percent of men plus sixty percent of women were total couch potatoes. There are practical reasons that regular physical activity helps arthritis plus it is beneficial for general health (cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic). Enough said, lets go for a walk or jump in the pool.
