Regular, moderate exercise offers many benefits to those suffering from arthritis. Exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness, builds strong muscle around the joints, and increases flexibility and endurance. And of course exercise is also good for increasing your energy, decreasing insomnia, fighting depression and boosting self-esteem. Staying close to your recommended weight can also help to control arthritis. Every extra pound you carry adds to the stress on your joints. |
