Strong joints, active life: all about joint care

If your joints are aching or inflamed, see your doctor for a proper examination. He or she may recommend medicines to relieve your symptoms.

Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which helps reduce inflammation in joints. Add it to smoothies or eat slices of fresh pineapple as a snack.

Are your joints aching after exercise? Try a bath with Epsom salt to relax your muscles and reduce pain.

Remember that every body is different and what works for someone else may not work for you. Listen to your body and modify your training as necessary - your joint health comes first!

If you like to run, it is important to choose soft surfaces such as grass or treadmills. Asphalt can be very hard on your joints.

If you are recovering from a joint injury, take your time. Follow your doctor's instructions and rehabilitate gradually.

Don't underestimate the power of a balanced diet for joint health. Foods like salmon, olive oil, fruit and vegetables can help reduce inflammation.

Don't give up if you have joint pain. You can find low-impact exercises that allow you to stay active and not make the situation worse.
