Arthritis cannot be cured but you can slow or prevent permanent joint damage by eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly to strengthen muscles and bones. Avoid being overweight to reduce strain on joints and practice proper lifting and posture to avoid straining body joints. There is no cure for rheumatoid or osteoarthritis, but treatment can help prevent or slow down joint damage. Seek early care and treatment from the nearest health unit if you think you have any form of arthritis.
