Arthritis Prevention

While neither Rheumatoid arthritis nor osteoarthritis can be completely prevented, one can reduce the risks by becoming physically active, participating in physical therapy, losing weight and eating healthy. All individuals whom have pain in the joints should seek early diagnosis because the earlier the treatment is started, the better is the prognosis. There is some evidence that consuming the commonly-eaten Nightshade plants (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, bell pepper family, and tobacco) is the causing factor in arthritis.
