6 WAYS TO BEAT THE WINTER BLAHS

FIGHTS PAIN FLARES

And relaxed strolls can prevent winter pain flare-ups if you enjoy them a few times weekly. Turns out combining gentle motion with exposure to fresh air and natural light activates nerves that relax muscles, raise pain threshold and boost healing blood flow to joints.
