compound. A high protein fish diet will

and vegetables must also be included in the diet. One should also see that the
body weight is kept under control, hence food along with exercise, is recommended.

arthritis. Avoid any tiring or
arduous stress on the joints. You can do
some brisk walking or a sport like swimming which will not have a direct effect
on the joints. If the pain is not
severe, then yoga, meditation and dancing are also a good way in maintaining
the flexibility of the body.
