Symptoms
When the joints wear out, the first symptom is discomfort on exertion. As the disease progresses these symptoms become more frequent, even during everyday activities. Morning stiffness and so-called start-up pain are typical of arthritis. These pains occur with the first movements after rest. After taking a few steps the pain subsides.
Night-time pain and related sleep disturbances occur as the disease progresses, with painful and painless phases alternating over a long period of time. Gradually, an excruciating continuous pain develops. The symptoms often worsen in cold and damp weather conditions and during physical exertion.
Causes
Severe stress due to hard work, excessive sport, high body weight, environmental factors, heredity, but also metabolic disorders such as gout or diabetes: all these factors may contribute to the development of arthritis and play a role in its development or its severity. Joint injuries can be a cause too, because even the smallest injuries can damage the cartilage and lead to the disease, which is common in about one third of all cases. Above all, however, the development of arthritis is triggered by acute or chronic inflammations of the joint. Depending on the cause, a distinction is made between two forms: primary arthritis and secondary arthritis.

Do you want to
prevent arthritis?
Perhaps because one of your closest family members suffers from this disease? Or because you are exposed to heavy physical effort at work? We have some tips for you.
Become active
Sport does not only slow down progression of the disease, but it also helps to prevent it. Endurance sports such as biking, backstroke swimming or walking are best suited for this. Moderate weight training also has a positive effect on the joints. Integrate regular exercise sessions into your daily routine. This way you can prevent arthritis and do something very good for your general health.
Eat healthy
A conscious diet and a healthy body weight are crucial for the prevention of arthritis. Include vitamins and other micronutrients in your diet and pay special attention to foods rich in antioxidants and flavonoids. These measures will also protect you from several other diseases such as those of the cardiovascular system or diabetes.
Avoid injuries
Injuries, especially those that do not heal properly, can lead to arthritis. Try to avoid them, for example by warming up thoroughly before sporting activities. Strengthening your muscles, ligaments and tendons is also an important factor in preventing injuries, whether in everyday life or in sports.
Live according to the 7-pillar programme
This innovative method is effective and simple at the same time and can, of course, also be used for arthritis prevention. The program is based on seven pillars which are complementary to one another and ranges from healthy nutrition and conscious weight control to moderate exercise. Another crucial factor is the intake of micronutrients that help you to maintain your joint health and support your entire body.
