More than 70 million Americans suffer from some type of arthritis. Contrary to popular belief, the condition doesn't just affect senior citizens: over half of those with arthritis are under 65, and some types affect twenty-somethings, teens, and even children. The one thing these people have in common? Over half the Americans with arthritis think that nothing can be done to help their condition. Now, noted exercise physiologist Erin O'Driscoll brings help to arthritis sufferers everywhere with her new book EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS (A Safe and Effective Way to Increase Strength, Improve Flexibility, Gain Energy, and Reduce Pain). Studies have shown that exercise reduces the joint pain and stiffness that come along with arthritis, and that's not the only way it helps: exercise also increases muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, while helping to take off extra pounds that put pressure on joints. No matter the type of arthritis, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS has an exercise that will help. From isometric exercises that build strength without stressing joints to cardiovascular workouts for improved heart health and weight loss, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS covers all the bases to help people with arthritis reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase strength. Easy-to-follow photographs illustrate each exercise, making the routines simple even for those who have been sedentary for years. EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS is more than a workout guide. It contains valuable information for anyone affected by arthritis, from an overview of the different types of arthritis and the latest research to discussions of popular treatment methods and medications. It also offers more important to people with arthritis: the opportunity to manage their health. From tips on maintaining a "Good Health Attitude" to simple exercises that can be done in bed each morning to prepare for a great rest of the day, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS gives arthritis sufferers the tools they need to have a healthy body-and a healthy outlook on life.

Arthritis affects millions of people throughout the world and while its treatment is usually medical or surgical, there exists an increasingly large body of evidence concerning the positive effects of nutrition on the condition. There are over two hundred forms of rheumatoid disease, with conditions varying in prevalence. In this important title the authors have focussed on osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common arthritic diseases with the largest body of dietary data. Including coverage of disease incidence and prevalence, pathology, aetiology and measures of disease assessment and dietary risk factors, Nutrition and Arthritis is a clear, concise and user-friendly book gathering the latest research to bring the reader state-of-the-art information on: Micronutrients (e.g. vitamins C, D and selenium), food supplements and their potential to ameliorate arthritis Polyunsaturated fatty acids, with particular attention paid to n-3 fatty acids Glucosamine and chondroitin The value of exclusion, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary approaches Nutritionists and dietitians, including those working in the health services, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioners, osteopaths and commercial organisations involved in the formulation of dietary supplements will find this book an important and practical reference source. Libraries in medical schools and universities and research establishments where nutrition, dietetics and food science are studied and taught will find it a valuable addition to their shelves.

One example, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is the most common autoimmune disease, affecting 1% of the US population, and almost 68 million people worldwide.

Now, in her groundbreaking new book, Dr. Susan Blum, a leading expert in functional medicine, offers a better approach to healing arthritis permanently. Dr. Blum’s groundbreaking three-step protocol is designed to address the underlying causes of the condition and heal the body permanently by: -Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and more -Healing your gut to heal your joints -Reducing inflammation without medication Dr. Blum’s innovative two-week plan to quickly reduce pain through anti-inflammatory foods and supplements; followed by an intensive gut repair to rid the body of bad bacteria and strengthen the gastrointestinal system for a dramatic improvement in arthritis symptoms and inflammation; and then addresses the emotional issues that contribute to inflammation, and eating a simple, Mediterranean inspired diet to maintain a healthy gut.

Yoga therapy is commonly used for the management of arthritis, but often focusses exclusively on adaptation of the physical poses and on structural solutions. This book moves beyond the traditional routines to present yoga as a lifestyle designed to improve quality of life and overall well-being for individuals living with arthritis and rheumatic conditions. By incorporating the ancient practices of yoga as both physical and mental exercises involving a model of 5-koshas or sheaths (physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom, and spiritual), the yoga therapy practice presented here will help reduce pain and shift the perspective of the individual living with arthritis. This therapy uses a whole-person approach that employs a broad range of tools to address the biopsychosocial effects of arthritis through the application of yoga practices and philosophy. Useful as a guide for people living with arthritis, this book is full of inspiration for self care along with instructions for yoga teachers and medical professionals to guide their clients using this whole-person perspective.
