Habits for healthy joints
Because everything is on ... custom, Mr. Harris Voulgaropoulos gives us practical and useful tips for maintaining good health of joints:

* "Get and keep lifetime a normal body weight," advises in principle the expert. And not unfair. The normal weight is very important for the health of joints. Conversely, the increases in body weight, the greater the charge accept the waist, knees, and ankles.
* "Put exercise into your life," said meaningful expert. And rightly so, since it has been shown that regular, mild exercise, especially swimming, which is very "friendly" with the joints, helps in their proper function, but also in their empowerment. If even this moderate exercise combined with weight training and resistance exercises strengthen the muscles around the joints, supporting even better.

• Improve your posture. "We must watch the attitude of our body, not only when we raise weight or practicing sports, but in any case, even when sitting or walking. It is also important to avoid prolonged standing and stillness that strain joints and our musculoskeletal system, "says Mr. Voulgaropoulos.
* See your doctor if pain persists. "People posing for days pain and swelling in a joint or morning stiffness of the joints should be directed immediately to the orthopedist. Early diagnosis is very important, "said the expert.
* Use appropriate supplements. "Some substances, such as chondroitin, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and collagen, can relieve the pain of joints. They have the ability to "lubricate" the joints to help maintain the quality of the cartilage in the joints and thus can delay the onset of osteoarthritis. " Osteoarthritis primarily affects the knees and hips, leading gradually to difficult situations that often arrive in surgery for joint replacement.
* Watch what you eat. A diet low in fat, but rich in antioxidants seem to be the best "ally" for the health of joints.
* For other forms of arthritis, such as e.g. rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, prevention methods do not exist, because it is an autoimmune disease. Ie caused by the patient's own immune system without knowing how and why this happens. Fortunately, today we have effective drugs for these very difficult situations, helping patients to have quality of life and not suffer from constant and severe pain.
