Exercise to reduce arthritis pain/ Arthritis Care in Culver City

Exercise is crucial for people with arthritis. It increases strength and flexibility, reduces joint pain, and helps combat fatigue. Of course, when stiff and painful joints are already bogging you down, the thought of walking around the block or swimming a few laps might seem overwhelming.

But you don't need to run a marathon or swim as fast as an Olympic competitor to help reduce the symptoms of your arthritis. Even moderate exercise can ease your pain and help you maintain a healthy weight. When arthritis threatens to immobilize you, exercise keeps you moving.

Exercise can help you improve your health and fitness without hurting your joints. Along with your current treatment program, exercise can:

• Strengthen the muscles around your joints
• Help you maintain bone strength
• Give you more strength and energy to get through the day
• Make it easier to get a good night's sleep
• Help you control your weight
• Make you feel better about yourself and improve your sense of well-being

Magical properties of Vitamin C/ Post surgery Healing Tips

Worrying about healing after a surgery?

Vitamin C is another nutrient critical to wound healing. It’s responsible for making connective tissue, and it acts as a powerful antioxidant. Since surgical trauma causes an increase in the body’s metabolic rate, vitamin C levels can drop. So, consuming up to 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C for up to one week after surgery can help expedite tissue repair.

A combination of food, juice and supplements can be used to attain this level. Prune juice or stewed prunes are an excellent addition to the diet, since prunes are high in vitamin C and can help relieve constipation that is a common side effect of drug therapy.

Live In Care in Culver City

A common complaint from elders is insomnia, or trouble getting to sleep. Though seniors may be just fine getting fewer hours of sleep than younger adults, it is detrimental to health to be manifesting signs of being constantly fatigued, sluggish and moody as a result of sleep loss. According to WebMD, the foods we eat just before bed can have a huge impact on how we sleep. Forward this informative video to your live-in caregiver to give a heads up!

Elders may be better off avoiding high protien midnight snacks, which can be quite alerting. Rather, snacks high in carbohydrates and dairy are more appropriate. Try snacking on a bowl of cereal or some crackers with cheese.

24 hour home care in Culver City

It's been drummed into our heads that fitness is important for health, mentality and a plethora of other things. The New York Times Article, "Good and Bad, the Little Things Add up in Fitness" discusses exactly how the choices we make affect our health and wellness. Surprisingly, the optimal levels of exercise are about 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. Not more or less. Long distance runners and other athletes who overexert themselves are studied to be more sedentary than others in their downtime. The lesson of the day is moderation: seek gentle movement at all hours of the day and exercise comfortably.
