TEN TIPS TO IMPROVE  TO KEEP  YOUR JOINTS HEALTHY : 

5. Go Low-Impact  What exercise is good? The best choices are activities that don't pound your joints, like walking, bicycling, swimming, and strength training..

6. Know Your Limits

It's normal to have some aching muscles after you exercise. But if you hurt for more than 48 hours, you may have over stressed your joints. Don't push so hard next time. Working through the pain may lead to an injury or damage.        










7. Ease Your Load

Consider your joints when lifting and carrying. Carry bags on your arms instead of with your hands to let your bigger muscles and joints support the weight.

8. Chill Out Pain

Ice is a natural -- and free -- pain reliever. It numbs the hurt and eases swelling. If you have a sore joint, apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a towel. Leave it on for up to 20 minutes at a time. You can also try a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel. Never apply ice directly to your skin.

9.Flex Some Muscle
Get stronger to give your joints better support. Even a little more strength makes a difference. A physical therapist or certified trainer can show you what moves to do and how to do them. If you have joint problems, avoid quick, repetitive movements.

10.Treat Joint Injuries

They can add to the breakdown of cartilage in your joints. If you get hurt, see your doctor right away for treatment. Then take steps to avoid more damage. You may need to avoid activities that put too much stress on your joint or use a brace to stabilize it.
