OSTEOARTHRITIS, ARTHRITIS, OA

Osteoarthritis is characterized by loss of cartilage, and alterations or the subchondral bone. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease generally seen in the elderly, but as young as age 30. Over 40 million American have osteoarthritis, 80% are over 50, and it is much more common in women.

Clinically osteoarthritis has symptoms of mild early-morning stiffness, and pain that worsens with use of the joint. It is associated with tenderness, soft tissue and boney swelling, joint crepitus (“popping” feeling with movement), and restricted movement.

Lifestyle and Diet:

Exercise daily. To increase movement, range of motion, and decrease pain.
Maintain or achieve a normal weight. Extra weight puts more wear and tear on the weight-bearing joints, and leads to osteoarthritis and worsening disease.
Drink 8-10 glasses of pure water each day.
Eat cold water fish three times per week. Decreases inflammation.
