Most likely you know or have heard of someone who suffers from joint pain and swelling. These discomforts can be diagnosed as some type of arthritis. The disease, while not as publicized in the media as other medical complications, is much more common than you might think. However, some healthy habits and home remedies help to prevent it.
According to some data released by the WHO (World Health Organization), one in ten men around the world has or will have problems related to this disease throughout their lives. Among women, this number is even more aggravating. This is because they are more likely to suffer from joint pain, that is, 15% of them will have arthritis.
As people reach old age, this rate tends to get higher and higher. Nearly a third (30%) of men aged 65 and over acquire the disease. Women of the same age group suffer much more from the problem, that is, half of them are subject to complications.
To prevent this from happening, experts recommend consuming fish because they contain Omega 3. The substance, found in fat, contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered beneficial for joints. Another suggestion for those who want to prevent arthritis pain is milk and yogurt, as both are rich sources of calcium.
