Arthritis and arthrosis significantly reduce a person's quality of life. Simple prevention will help reduce the risk of diseases, traumatologists believe. They gave some advice on this matter.

The doctor explained that arthrosis and arthritis affect any human joints. The difference is that arthrosis is a chronic non-inflammatory disease characterized by persistent dystrophic-degenerative changes in the joints, while arthritis is a classic form of inflammation with pain, swelling, and changes in the skin, leading to joint dysfunction.

How to prevent the development of arthrosis and arthritis

The first rule of prevention is proper nutrition. The diet should be rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. The second rule is to avoid hypothermia, as it has a negative effect on the joints.

For the health of the joints, wearing the right shoes is also important: stable, not too narrow, with a small heel. In addition, the favorite position of sitting cross-legged can also increase the risk of developing arthrosis, so it is better to avoid it.

For the health of the joints, physical activity should also be maintained, the doctor emphasized. However, the loads should be safe. “If possible, shock-jumping loads should be excluded, that is, movements should be smooth, the muscles surrounding the joint should be strong,” the specialist explained.

In addition, you should maintain a healthy weight, strengthen the muscles that stabilize the joint and the muscle corset in general with the help of therapeutic exercise.
