Monsoon weather can often turn up the pressure on joint pains through increased humidity and temperature fluctuations. With some simple strategies, you would be able to cope with the growing discomfort.
This Monsoon, Soothe Your Aching Joints with These Simple Tips
1. Stay Active Indoors: The weather may not allow outdoor activity, but it is important to maintain the frequency of exercises. One may consider low-impacting exercises such as yoga, stretching, or walking around the house. This indeed keeps the joints flexible and gives the muscles around the joints some boost.
2. Warm Compresses: Warm compresses to the affected joints can help in alleviating pain and stiffness. One can soak a towel in warm water or use a heating pad for 15-20 minutes to relieve the aching joints.
3. Healthy Diet: You can manage your joint ache through a well-balanced anti-inflammatory diet including fish, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and intestinal-friendly and immune-enhancing vitamins and antioxidants. Also, drink plenty of water.
4. Wear Supportive Footwear: Comfortable and supportive shoes will help reduce the pressure on your joints, since you may have to step on wet and slippery ground at times. Therefore, opt for good arch support and cushioning to avoid jolts on the joints.
