TLC
for Your
Joints
Easy steps to follow now can help you avoid
a joint replacement in the future BY EMILY FROST
Joint pain isn't
just common, it's
practically universal.
In fact, it's estimated that
millions of adults-of all ages-
experience joint pain each and
every month. Ouch! Now before
all of you under-50-year-olds
start tuning out at the mention
of joint replacement, there's
something you should consider:
these are the most important
years for your joints.
"Everything you're doing now
can impact your joint health,"
explains Mary J. Albert, MD,
medical director of GMC's
Total Joint Program. "Whether
we're talking about your diet
and exercise or your posture
and stress, all of these minor
factors can take a major toll on
your joints."
So, what does this mean for
you? Instead of just shrugging
off that annoying joint stiffness,
or complaining about pain, start
protecting your joints with these
expert-approved tips:

1
Remember to
stretch. Despite its
many benefits-
improved
balance, blood flow,
energy and more-
stretching remains an
afterthought for many
of us. "But with ample
benefits for your joints,
including improved
range of motion, joint
lubrication and injury
prevention, it's a must for
lasting joint health," notes
Dr. Albert.
2
Reduce inflammation.
Inflammation is known
to impact everything
from heart health and
digestion to sleep and, you
guessed it-joint health. "To
counteract the swelling, pain
and stiffness that often come
with joint inflammation, eat a
diet rich in alkaline foods, such
as berries, avocados, ginger,
apples, dates, kale, spinach and
papaya," says Dr. Albert.
