Arthritis DLO

Today I'm going to talk to you about arthritis and what are the causes are and other stuff I hope you enjoy please leave a comment if I need to make changes.

What causes Arthritis:

Most forms of arthritis are thought to be caused by a fault in the immune system that causes the body to attack its own tissues in the joints. This may be inherited genetically. Other forms of arthritis can be caused by problems with the immune system or by a metabolic condition, such as gout.

Can anyone get arthritis:

Arthritis is most commonly seen in adults over the age of 65, but it can also develop in children, teens, and younger adults. Arthritis is more common in women than men and in people who are overweight.

Can everyone get arthritis:

People of all ages, sexes, and races can and do have arthritis, and it is the leading cause of disability in America. More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis. It is most common among women and occurs more frequently as people get older.

What are the two most common types of arthritis

The two main types of arthritis — osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis — damage joints in different ways.

 What is the best way to prevent arthritis:

1. Stay at a healthy weight. Extra pounds put pressure on weight-bearing joints like hips and knees. 
2. Control your blood sugar. 
3. Exercise. 
4. Stretch. 
5. Avoid injury. 
6. Quit smoking. 
7. Eat fish twice a week. 
8. Get routine preventive care.

How was arthritis treated:

There are drugs that can treat the symptoms, such as painkillers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and biological therapies can slow down or stop the arthritis causing the swelling inside the body.
