Healthy and balanced diet: <\/span> Watch your weight!<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-feature-list-content\">Obesity is one of the factors that influences the appearance of osteoarthritis. There are numerous studies that show that weight loss relieves the overload of the joints and, therefore, slows down the development of osteoarthritis. It is highly recommended to control the body mass index and eat a balanced diet that allows us to maintain good joint health. Likewise, some data suggests that the consumption of vitamins C (citrus, pepper, broccoli), D (fish, dairy, eggs) and E (nuts, oregano and basil, avocados) could be beneficial in osteoarthritis, despite the fact that It is a controversial issue because there is not enough scientific evidence to conclude it. However, it is advisable to maintain normal levels of them in our body. On the other hand, there is evidence that the Mediterranean diet, based on the use of virgin olive oil, reduces inflammation caused by knee osteoarthritis.<br>\nIf you want to know more about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and how diet can stop the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis, OAFI puts at your disposal a nutrition service run by Dr. Laura Arranz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/la-nutricionista-dra-laura-arranz-visitara-a-las-pacientes-y-socias-de-oafi\/\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                <li class=\"eael-feature-list-item elementor-repeater-item-7984849\">\n                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-feature-list-icon fl-icon-2\">\n\n\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-biking\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-content-box\">\n                            <span class=\"eael-feature-list-title\"><span style=\"color:#008ECC\">3. Physical exercise:<\/span> Practice sports, but in moderation.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-feature-list-content\">Light to moderate exercise is good for your joints. It is important that you carry out training loads appropriate to your physical condition and according to the advice of a specialist. Likewise, in order to have good joint health, it is essential to respect the warm-up and cool-down exercises when practicing any physical activity. It should also be taken into account that those exercises in which the joint is not subjected to a lot of pressure, such as: walking, cycling or swimming, are more recommendable than those considered as impact sports: basketball, football and athletics, among others. others.<br>\nIn general, alternating moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week, or doing intense exercise for at least 20 minutes, 3 days a week with breaks, can be indicative.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0a71941\" data-eae-slider=\"37903\" data-id=\"0a71941\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b15e2cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-feature-list\" data-id=\"b15e2cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-feature-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"-icon-position-left -tablet-icon-position-left -mobile-icon-position-left\">\n\t\t\t<ul id=\"eael-feature-list-b15e2cb\" class=\"eael-feature-list-items square stacked  eael-feature-list-vertical\" data-layout-tablet=\"vertical\" data-layout-mobile=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t                <li class=\"eael-feature-list-item elementor-repeater-item-38a933e\">\n                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-feature-list-icon fl-icon-0\">\n\n\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-clock\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-content-box\">\n                            <span class=\"eael-feature-list-title\"><span style=\"color:#008ECC\">4. Joint Relief:<\/span> Rests and rests the joints.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-feature-list-content\">Rest is a key factor in controlling the pain of the inflammatory outbreaks that osteoarthritis has. If you feel pain, rest your joints and you will be taking care of your joint health.<br>\nThe use of walking sticks can help avoid overloading the knee and\/or hip.<br>\nOn the other hand, it is important to pay attention to the footwear you use. A shoe with a high heel does not properly cushion the footprint and has little impact absorption when walking. It is preferable that you use thick-soled and rather flat shoes that stabilize your steps. It is recommended that the sole be made of rubber since traumatisms or falls due to lack of grip due to slipping caused by other less adherent materials are avoided. The use of insoles can help reduce pain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                <li class=\"eael-feature-list-item elementor-repeater-item-3f86e6b\">\n                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-feature-list-icon fl-icon-1\">\n\n\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-content-box\">\n                            <span class=\"eael-feature-list-title\"><span style=\"color:#008ECC\">5. Postural rules:<\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-feature-list-content\">It is recommended to avoid heavy loads and repetitive movements of the joints. Certain professions predispose to the appearance of osteoarthritis. For example, in 1952 it was shown that the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis was almost six times higher in miners. In the same way, professionals who use their hands a lot also presented a higher frequency of the ailment in this location.<br>\nAlso, standing without resting for a long period of time and walking on uneven ground is inadvisable.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                <li class=\"eael-feature-list-item elementor-repeater-item-0d6e4f2\">\n                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-icon-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-feature-list-icon fl-icon-2\">\n\n\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-feature-list-content-box\">\n                            <span class=\"eael-feature-list-title\"><span style=\"color:#008ECC\">6. Other measurements:<\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-feature-list-content\">For patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, we can recommend the application of massage with an ice pack, performing sessions of less than 20 minutes, 5 days a week, for 2 weeks, while for osteoarthritis of the hand, patients find relief with hot water or paraffin baths.<br>\nHydrotherapy can be effective in certain cases. Staying in spas with hot springs is considered beneficial by many arthritics.
