Just want to shared this very informative post I've read a while ago about Myths on Joint Pain.. Hope you get informed and enjoyed as much i did...
1. Exercise is bad for people with arthritis:
This is FALSE. Doctors have worked long and hard to create exercise programs that are ideal for arthritis patients, allowing them to exercise effectively without straining their already painful joints. One of the main causes of arthritis is immobility or a lack of physical activity, and getting more activity will make the joints more flexible and moveable over time.
2. All joint pain is arthritis:
Again, this is FALSE. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, but some joint pain is not even related to arthritis. All arthritis includes joint pain, but it does not work the other way around. Joint pain can be a sign of injury, bursitis, and many other health issues beyond arthritis.
3. Healthy diets prevent arthritis:
FALSE. While eating healthy can keep your body at a good weight and a healthy level, it isn’t going to directly protect you from arthritis. There are many causes of arthritis, but a certain type of diet hasn’t been shown to have a direct link to either causing or preventing arthritis.
4. Once you are diagnosed with arthritis, there’s nothing you can really do:
Yet again, we have another FALSE statement. Just because you are diagnosed with arthritis doesn’t mean that you have to live with it. You can take glucosamine and chondroitin supplements like Maxalife's High Potency Joint Aid and reap the rewards of joint health improvements. You can still exercise and stay mobile to ensure that you are stricken by limited mobility. There is plenty that you can do to have a full, normal life with arthritis.
