Osteoarthritis is the most common one and occurs after the age of 40 but rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age. The latter is more disastrous as it destroys the ligaments and tendons that join the bones and muscles. Thus deformities can be seen in this type of arthritis. In case of osteoarthritis the bones increase in size and the space between them decreases, making the bones rub against each other, causing pain.
Tips To Prevent Arthritis:
1. Those who massage daily with oil do not suffer from joint pains. Their body develops the capacity to tolerate fatigue. Oil massage should be done at least four times a month.
2. With foot massage eyesight improves and dryness, swelling and roughness of the feet are relieved. The feet become strong and soft. Diseases like sciatica and others related to nerve pain do not occur.
3. The first step to prevent arthritis is to relieve constipation. According to Ayurveda, arthritic pain is due to aggravation of vata dosha (air in the body). Constipation stops the proper passage of air from the body, aggravating pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, due to aggravation of vata and kapha according to Ayurveda. Garlic and ginger (1-2grams) taken regularly relieve vata and kapha.
4. Improve your digestion and metabolism as arthritis is basically caused due to improper digestion and disturbed metabolism of the body.
5. Avoid fried food as this is difficult to digest and leads to digestive ailments that aggravate arthritis.
6. Sour fruits should be avoided.
