cheri was initially a member of a group called GPOP alongside gfriend’s sinb and eunha. after the failure of the company’s girl groups, cheri was handpicked by RM to be a member of BTS. everyone has always had doubts about having a girl in the group, and this has caused many issues for cheri personally and as an artist. 

she was homeschooled until she moved to korea. she attended hanlim arts school in the applied music department and graduated in 2015. in 2016, she began online courses at USC and graduated in 2020 with a BA in music. she would like to work for a master’s degree. 

her younger sister had epilepsy and passed away in her sleep after a seizure. charlotte’s death was incredibly difficult for cheri to get over and she considered giving up training and moving back to california. she was talked out of quitting, and decided her stage name would be ‘cheri’ because that was charlotte’s nickname for her. 

cheri opened a youtube channel in late 2019 and was incredibly active in 2020 posting vlogs, covers, and unreleased songs. people started being weird online and she has posted rarely since then. 

she did not renew her contract with big hit in 2018: she was on hiatus and was unsure if she’d go back to idol life after the year she’d had. she stuck with it until 2020, and after negotiating for months, she did not renew. she officially left big hit in january of 2021 and signed with CHROMATIC CREATIVE. although she remains a member of BTS, cheri has not been active with the group since 2020. 

since her private instagram account was leaked, cheri has spoken about her privacy and has made it very clear that she’s not afraid to take legal action. she loves her fans, but at the end of the day she just wants to make music and wants to keep what little privacy she has private.

in 2019, big hit music and pledis entertainment confirmed cheri and seventeen’s joshua were in a relationship after speculation of cheri being in a relationship with exo’s baekhyun. in 2024, cheri seemingly confirmed her engagement to joshua on instagram.

Vent / medical

So I saw the back specialist today. After being scared shitless all last night, writing out my meticulous timeline of events that injured my back, and crying, and not sleeping well. I got questioned, but not questioned as much as I was prepared for. I got prodded, but not as badly as I was expecting.

The result? It's nothing operable, so that's good news. But the bad news? It's probably my fibromyalgia (with a dash of my arthritis). Lmao. I know it's a whole-ass medical condition, but being told that, felt like being told I'm just being a pussy and not steeling myself against the pain well enough. You'd think I would understand by now, considering I've been diagnosed for like 18/19 years, but it still feels insulting to be told like, "You have pain. That's all."

Also, the doctor: "You don't need to see me! Yay!"

Felt like a whole waste of time.

I'm also really upset because no medication I've ever taken has helped my fibromyalgia except painkillers. And that's an extremely hard medication to get a doctor to prescribe long-term, despite the fact that I have never abused them. (It was easier before like 2017ish).

As of January 2024, I had spent the past 5 years of my life suffering on every type of anti-depressants for my depression, and none of them helped. Anti-depressants are what doctors use to treat fibromyalgia. Like, literally the only recommended medication treatment. And I legit felt SO MUCH WORSE both in terms of mental health and pain while I was on anti-depressants. It was constant brain fog and pain and inability to function and fatigue, spending money irresponsibly and binge eating. As soon as I quit taking anti-depressants (during a different health disaster, going thru anti-depressant withdrawals during the hardest endometriosis flare up of my life), I started feeling a lot better and a lot more lucid and present in my life. I was able to start exercising again and being more productive. I started drawing again after like 5 years of a mental block preventing me from doing so. It was like anti-depressants gave me a Debuff and I just completely stalled while on them, and once I stopped I was able to go again.

So. I'm fucking pissed. Like, I'm glad I don't need surgery. But this means I have to live with my inability to walk normally and inability to stand for a reasonable amount of time. Like, how the fuck am I supposed to do anything at all???? I have suffered and basically been completely out of commission this whole year since the first injury started in MAY. AND IT'S NOW DECEMBER.

God, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I fucking hate getting hot-potatoed around by doctors. No one wants to treat me because my body doesn't respond the way it's supposed to, and I feel like my fibromyalgia is just being used as a scapegoat. I still can't walk and move the way I used to, and sitting in a car is unbearable on my back. I've never had this happen since getting diagnosed with fibro at age 12/13.

((Actually... now that I think about it, I was on crutches for fibro twice during high school with my knee problems. But I don't think it lasted this long before. Fuck. Maybe it really is fibro. But I already had a tooth problem dismissed as fibro, and 2 years later now I was right that the tooth DID have a problem that's finally showing now, and I'm gonna need tooth surgery now to fix it soon. So idk. Maybe 2 years from now my back problem will finally show something mechanically wrong on the xray and I can say, 'I told you so.' Maybe it'll get better in a few more months. Idk.))

"Try yoga and swimming." THOSE ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE, AND EVEN IF THOSE WERE COVERED IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED IN MY TOWN. I didn't even get to explain how I was forcing myself to exercise through the pain every day, up until the 3rd time I injured the same spot. The exercise did not help the pain. And I was genuinely exercising, full workouts, just at an extremely slow pace. It never stopped being painful, even as I built muscle.

I still have physical therapy, but like, physical therapy isn't a cure. It might be helping, but I'm still in extreme pain, and I still can't touch one spot on my back.

Fuck my life, man. I need to fucking cry, but I'm all crude out.

[percabeth4life]

i just got diagnosed with JRA. i'm 16. any advice?

Heya! I'm sorry you've gotta deal with that but good thing you got diagnosed!

I don't know what treatment your doctors will go with, mine started me out with a pill then added a shot on top of it since the pill alone wasn't enough. If you're squeamish of needles or shots you might wanna start bracing yourself for that if a pill isn't enough.

As for otherwise: start doing exercises early. It hurts, but it'll help. Gentle stuff is good, stretches that strengthen your muscles for example. A lot of yoga stretches are good and low impact. Swimming is another good activity, honestly need to do it more myself. I personally like rowing too.

For treating the pain: icy hot patches, lidocaine patches, Tylenol (arthritis edition) are good starts. If your pain gets too high, where you wanna like cry from it or can't move? Go to an urgent care or talk to your rheumatologist about pain medications that are stronger. They won't prescribe many, so use them wisely. Might wanna consider a pain specialist depending on how bad it is/gets.

Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but RA can cause problems in the lungs and eyes so it's a good move to see a pulmonologist and optometrist at some point. I see them twice a year (well, I'm supposed to, haven't seen the pulmonologist in a bit).

A note: RA (and autoimmune conditions) tend to come in packs, if there's one you have a high chance of having another. I'm diagnosed with two, a third that's debated if it's autoimmune or not, and suspected of a fourth. I know others with at least 3/4 autoimmune conditions as well. You'll wanna keep an eye out for things like random allergic reactions, pain that doesn't fit RA, and anything else that's off.

I hope your treatment is effective and things improve quickly!

🌟 Essential Tips and Techniques to Alleviate Joint Pain 🌿

Joint pain can significantly impact daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and uncomfortable. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or other factors, managing joint pain is crucial for maintaining quality of life and mobility.

This article explores various strategies, from lifestyle adjustments to therapeutic techniques, aimed at alleviating joint pain effectively.

Understanding Joint Pain

Joint pain can arise from various conditions, including:

Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease due to wear and tear.

Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disorder affecting joints.

Injury: Sprains, strains, or fractures impacting joint function.

Other conditions: Such as gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia.

Each condition may require specific management approaches, but many general strategies can help mitigate joint pain and improve joint health overall.

Lifestyle Modifications

1. Maintain a Healthy Weight:

Excess weight puts additional stress on joints, particularly weight-bearing ones like knees and hips.

Aim for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

2. Regular Exercise:

Low-impact exercises like swimming, biking, or walking can strengthen muscles around joints and improve flexibility.

Avoid high-impact activities that may exacerbate joint pain.

3. Joint-Friendly Activities:

Yoga and tai chi improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Physical therapy can provide tailored exercises to strengthen specific joints.

4. Proper Posture and Body Mechanics 💪🏻:

Maintain good posture to reduce stress on joints, especially the spine and neck.

Lift heavy objects properly using your legs and avoiding twisting motions.

5. Ergonomic Adjustments:

Use ergonomic chairs and desks to support joints during work.

Adjust your environment to minimize repetitive movements that strain joints.

Dietary Considerations

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Found in fish like salmon and mackerel, these can help reduce inflammation.

Consider supplements if dietary intake is insufficient.

2. Antioxidants:

Vitamins C and E, found in fruits and vegetables, may protect joints from oxidative stress.

Berries, spinach, and nuts are rich sources.

3. Spices and Herbs 🌿:

Turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties.

Incorporate these into cooking or take as supplements.

4. Hydration:

Drink plenty of water to maintain joint lubrication and overall hydration.

Limit sugary drinks and alcohol, which can exacerbate inflammation.

Pain Management Strategies

1. Over-the-Counter Medications:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can reduce pain and inflammation.

Acetaminophen is an alternative for pain relief.

2. Topical Treatments:

Creams and gels containing capsaicin or menthol can provide localized pain relief.

Consider patches for convenience and prolonged relief.

3. Hot and Cold Therapy:

Heat packs or warm baths can relax muscles and improve circulation.

Cold packs or ice packs reduce inflammation and numb pain.

4. Acupuncture and Massage:

Acupuncture may help alleviate pain by stimulating specific points.

Massage therapy can reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility.

Medical Interventions

1. Prescription Medications:

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for autoimmune conditions.

Corticosteroid injections for severe inflammation.

2. Joint Support Devices:

Braces, splints, or orthotics can provide stability and reduce joint strain.

Custom orthotics may correct alignment issues contributing to pain.

3. Surgical Options:

Joint replacement surgery by Dr. Siram helps alleviate joint pain by replacing damaged or deteriorated joints with prosthetic implants, restoring mobility and reducing discomfort significantly.

Arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove damaged tissue in the joint.

Psychological and Emotional Support

1. Coping Strategies:

Practice mindfulness or meditation to manage stress and pain perception.

Join support groups to connect with others facing similar challenges.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

Helps develop coping skills and change negative thought patterns related to pain.

May complement medical treatments for better pain management.

Conclusion

Managing joint pain requires a multifaceted approach that combines lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, pain management strategies, and sometimes medical interventions. 

By incorporating these tips and techniques into daily life, individuals can alleviate pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall quality of life. 

Consult with healthcare professionals to develop a personalized plan that addresses specific needs and conditions, ensuring long-term joint health and well-being. 🩺💼

National Hot Tub Day

National Hot Tub Day is here, and you know what that means: you now have yet another excuse to enjoy relaxing in your hot tub.

But what if you want to do something more to celebrate? Here, we’ll show you five ways you can do just that:

Treat yourself to a new hot tub accessory.

Practice some hot tub yoga.

Indulge in aromatherapy.

Have a movie night.

Play some games with the whole family.

Ready to celebrate National Hot Tub Day the right way? Let’s dive in, first with why hot tubs are worth celebrating.

Why Hot Tubs Are Worth Celebrating

You probably know at least part of the answer to this question. After all, hot tubs have a reputation for being relaxing as well as therapeutic.

What you might not know is that hot tubs have a wealth of other benefits that make them worth celebrating:

Reduced stress: The warm water of a hot tub can help your body release feel-good stress-relieving endorphins.

Relaxation and pain relief: Whether you’re suffering from exercise-induced soreness, arthritis or another condition, hot tubs can help reduce pain, loosen muscles and take pressure off joints.

Better sleep: After taking a dip in your hot tub, you’ll likely be able to fall asleep faster and enjoy more restful sleep throughout the night.

5 Ways to Ring in National Hot Tub Day

1. Treat Yourself to a New Hot Tub Accessory

Hot tub accessories offer a fantastic way to spruce up your hot tub without breaking the bank.

For National Hot Tub Day, why not treat yourself to a hot tub accessory that can improve your overall experience in the long-run?

Here are our favorite types of hot tub accessories:

Cover lifters: No one wants to wrangle with a heavy cover when all they want to do is enjoy their hot tub. Make the process painless with a convenient cover lifter.

Steps: If you’re tired of slipping and sliding your way into your hot tub, a set of hot tub steps will be right up your alley. The right set of steps can not only make your entry and exit process much safer, but also serve as a perfect location to place your dry towel for easy access.

Pillows: If your hot tub sessions are getting dragged down by uncomfortable headrests or raggedy cushions, it’s high time you went for a new, deluxe pillow. By choosing the right size and shape for you, you can create a custom experience that’s tailored to your needs.

2. Practice Some Hot Tub Yoga

As a form of exercise that focuses on physical control as well as mental clarity and relaxation, yoga is a perfect match for your next hot tub session.

To get started, engage in some breathing exercises. Simply sit in your preferred seat and take a few deep breaths to begin. Then, focus on lengthening your spine, dropping your shoulders down and back, and noticing the sensation of the water on your skin.

If relaxation is all you’re looking for, you can simply continue that breathing exercise throughout the entirety of your session. Or, you can move onto some deeper stretches and muscle-strengthening poses. We recommend the seated spinal twist, cow face pose and boat pose.

For more info on each one, stay tuned for our Beginner’s Guide to Hot Tub Yoga.

3. Indulge in Aromatherapy

If you want to take your hot tub experience to the next level, you’d be wise to give aromatherapy a shot.

With hot tub aromatherapy, the scents of some of the world’s most prized and fragrant plants are infused in your hot tub water. You can achieve that either with the use of all-natural essential oils or pre-made bath crystals.

Traditionally, certain scents have certain benefits. For example:

Lavender relieves stress and may help you relax.

Eucalyptus

Thyme may reduce anxiety, fatigue and stress.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming post, The Secrets of Hot Tub Aromatherapy, for more information.

4. Have a Movie Night

Movie nights aren’t just for the couch. In honor of National Hot Tub Day, try watching your favorite flick in the hot tub instead.

There are a couple of easy ways you can do this:

Create a backyard movie theater with the help of a projector.

Set up a laptop or portable DVD/Blu-Ray player on a nearby table.

Plus, some of our highest-rated hot tubs, including the Dr. Wellness G-15 Tranquility Spa, come with built-in HDTVs to make your movie night even more fun.

5. Play Some Games With the Whole Family

If you’re not in the mood for a movie, trying playing some fun hot tub games for the whole family.

A few favorites include:

Waterproof cards and board games: If you have a set of waterproof cards or a waterproof board game lying around, you know what to do.

Rubber duck races: Push, blow and splash to see who’s duck can make it to the other side of the hot tub first.

Ping pong: Use plastic paddles to bounce a ping pong around. Whoever knocks the ball outside of the hot tub loses.

Hockey: Get your team’s “hockey puck” (a rubber duck or small floating ball will do just fine) to the other team’s side of the hot tub ��� no touching allowed.

How are you going to celebrate National Hot Tub Day?

No matter what you choose to do, you’re sure to have a fun and relaxing holiday with the help of your hot tub.

Effective Treatments For Back Pain

Back pain is something most people will experience at some point in their lives. Whether it’s a dull ache after sitting too long or a sharp pain when bending over, it can significantly affect daily life. If you're looking for effective back pain treatment in Vadodara or in other areas, understanding the causes and treatment options is the first step to finding relief.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain isn’t always the result of a serious injury. Often, it’s caused by simple things we do every day without realising their impact.

Poor Posture: Sitting or standing in the wrong way for long periods can strain the muscles and ligaments in the back, leading to discomfort or even chronic pain.

Muscle Strain: Overdoing it at the gym, lifting heavy objects, or sudden awkward movements can strain the muscles and lead to back pain.

Herniated Discs: Discs act as cushions between the bones in your spine. When a disc slips out of place or presses on a nerve, it can cause sharp pain.

Arthritis: Conditions like osteoarthritis can affect the lower back, causing stiffness and pain, especially in older adults.

Lifestyle Factors: Lack of exercise, being overweight, or high-stress levels can also contribute to persistent back pain.

Effective Treatments for Back Pain

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain. A physiotherapist can guide you through exercises that strengthen your back muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. These sessions are tailored to your specific needs, making them highly effective.

Medications

Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol can help manage mild to moderate pain. In more severe cases, your doctor might prescribe muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatory drugs.

Hot and Cold Therapy

Applying heat or cold packs to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and soothe sore muscles. Cold packs are great for swelling, while heat can help with stiffness.

Chiropractic Care

For some people, chiropractic adjustments provide significant relief. These involve gentle manipulations of the spine to improve alignment and ease tension.

Lifestyle Changes

Incorporating regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and practising good posture can prevent back pain from returning. Yoga and Pilates are excellent for improving core strength and flexibility, which support the spine.

Advanced Treatments

Advanced treatments like injections or minimally invasive surgery may sometimes be recommended. These are typically for conditions like herniated discs or severe arthritis.

When Should You Seek Professional Help?

Sometimes, back pain goes away on its own with rest and a little care. However, there are instances when you shouldn’t wait to seek professional help. If your pain is severe, lasts for more than a few weeks, or is accompanied by symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs, it’s important to consult a specialist.

Conclusion

Back pain can be challenging, but with the right care and attention, it’s manageable. If you're seeking back pain treatment in Vadodara and in other areas, there are plenty of effective options to help you find relief and improve your quality of life. Don’t let back pain hold you back—take the first step towards recovery today.

Naturopathy, based on an understanding of the causative factors including poor nutrient intake, stress or disturbance of life routines, is used top achieve sustainable health improvement.

2. Promotes Preventative Care

Another thing, which distinguishes naturopathy among the other systems of healing is that it is primarily a preventive system. Naturopathy employs health plans, modification of habits and natural treatments, to assist you in maintaining strong health and avoiding diseases before they develop.

3. Promotes Health- Related Quality of Life

4. Natural Healing Without Side Effects

An added advantage of naturopathy is that most of the treatments are natural and have little or no side effects that one would experience using prescribed drugs. This makes naturopathy a safe and effective option for those seeking a gentler form of healing.

5. Tailored to Individual Needs

It is important for anyone to remember that no two people are alike, and naturopathy honours this with individual care. Naturopathic practitioners can help with chronic pain, digestion, hormonal imbalance, depression, anxiety and stress, for every patient a specific cleansing plan will be created.

6. Supports Long-Term Health

Since naturopathy involves recommending long term change of lifestyle as a remedy to diseases, then it is a form of sustainable health. Unlike many products that provide a single solution, it fosters the enhancement of healthier habits and taking the right choices regarding sustainability of health.

Is Naturopathy Right for You?

If you are in search of the genuine ways of treatment that care both for the physical and the overall well-being of a person, then naturopathy can be the way that will suit you most of all.

Joint Pain and Arthritis: Managing Symptoms in the Monsoon

Tips for Managing Joint Pain and Arthritis in the Monsoon

Stay Active with Low-Impact Exercises: Regular exercise is crucial for managing arthritis, but it’s important to choose gentle activities. During the monsoon, opt for low-impact exercises like swimming, yoga, or Tai Chi. These activities maintain flexibility, strengthen muscles around the joints, and improve mobility without excessive strain.

Maintain a Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in antioxidant foods helps manage arthritis symptoms. Incorporate omega-3-rich foods such as salmon, flaxseed, and walnuts into your diet. Consume fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins for joint health. To minimize inflammation, avoid processed foods, excessive sugar, and trans fats.

Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is vital for overall health and can help manage arthritis symptoms. Drinking enough water helps keep the joints lubricated and reduces friction, which can alleviate pain and stiffness. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily and include hydrating foods such as cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges in your diet.

Warm Up and Stretch: Before engaging in any physical activity, make sure to warm up and stretch your muscles and joints. Gentle stretching exercises enhance flexibility and alleviate stiffness. Focus on stretching major muscle groups and joints, particularly those that are prone to pain. Incorporating a warm-up routine into your daily activities can make a significant difference in managing arthritis symptoms.

Use Hot and Cold Therapy: Alternating between hot and cold therapy can be highly effective in reducing arthritis pain. Use a heating pad or warm towel to relax stiff joints and muscles. Cold packs or ice packs can help reduce inflammation and numb the pain. Apply heat or cold for 15-20 minutes, and repeat as needed throughout the day.

Wear Appropriate Footwear: Proper footwear is essential for reducing joint stress, especially during the monsoon when the ground is often wet and slippery. Choose shoes with good arch support and cushioning to absorb shock and provide stability. Avoid high heels and opt for comfortable, well-fitting shoes that support your feet and joints.

Create a Comfortable Living Environment: Maintaining a comfortable living environment can help manage arthritis symptoms. Ensure your home is well-ventilated and free from dampness and mild, which can worsen joint pain. Use dehumidifiers if necessary, and keep your living spaces warm and dry.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential for managing arthritis. They can provide personalized advice, recommend suitable medications, and suggest specific exercises tailored to your condition. Do not hesitate to reach out to your doctor if you experience increased pain or discomfort during the monsoon season.

How to Treat Joint Pain without NSAIDs

Millions of individuals worldwide experience joint discomfort, which can be debilitating. While NSAIDs are routinely used to relieve joint pain, they have dangers such as stomach ulcers and cardiovascular disease. However, there are other ways to relieve joint discomfort without using NSAIDs.

Regular exercise is quite good at reducing joint discomfort. Swimming, cycling, and yoga are gentle activities that strengthen the muscles around the afflicted joint, reducing pressure and tension. Maintaining a healthy weight is also important, as excess weight puts strain on the joints.

Heat and cold therapy are natural treatments for joint pain. Heat therapy increases blood flow and relieves stiffness, whilst cold therapy decreases inflammation. A hot water bottle or heating pad can be used to apply heat, whilst ice packs or frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel can be used for cold treatment.

Understanding the reasons of joint pain is critical for effective treatment. Arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis), gout, and fibromyalgia can all cause joint discomfort. Seeking medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and treatment is critical to avoiding further joint injury.

NSAIDs serve an important role in pain management by lowering inflammation. Common examples are ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac. However, long-term use of oral NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal difficulties, and prescription NSAIDs increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

Best Orthopedic Consultancy In India: How To Maintain Bone and Joint Health In Winters?

In the winter, stiffness is a regular occurrence. You may find yourself less flexible in the winter, regardless of whether you have arthritis or not. There might be several causes for this, including inactivity.

The winter months cause us to move our bodies much less because of the cold. Furthermore, the cold temperature exacerbates any pre-existing joint stiffness and discomfort. Not dressed for the weather might possibly be the cause of your increased stiffness. As the best orthopedic consultancy in India provides some simple strategies to combat this problem, keep reading.

Why does cold cause bone and joint problems?

A hypothesis states that the expansion of muscle, tendon, and surrounding tissues is caused by a decrease in barometric pressure, albeit there is no one reason for this. Pain in the joints and bones is caused by the limited amount of space in the body.

Follow these diet tips to reduce stiffness in winter:

The foundation of a healthy lifestyle is a balanced diet. Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and legumes.

Consume a diet high in vitamin C, D, and K.

Milk, cheese, egg yolks, and fatty seafood are good sources of vitamin D.

Green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and kale, are good sources of vitamin K.

Strawberries, kiwis, oranges, and lemons are good sources of vitamin C.

Boost the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet by include more avocado, flaxseeds, walnuts, and seafood.

1. Stay warm

Staying warm is essential for preserving a robust musculoskeletal system during the winter, and our clothing choices may make a big difference in this regard. To retain warm air close to your body, wear many thin, warm layers rather than one heavy one. Wearing or removing clothing in this manner allows you to more easily regulate your body temperature when moving from the outside to the inside.

2. Get enough vitamin D

According to the best orthopedic consultancy in India, the sun, as you may know, is a fantastic source of vitamin D. One of the greatest methods to acquire more vitamin D is to sunbathe, particularly if you’re a vegetarian. It might be challenging to get enough vitamin D without meat. Prolonged sun exposure, meanwhile, can also be detrimental. Don’t spend hours in the sun; instead, limit your daily exposure to 10 to 20 minutes.

3. Keep moving

It doesn’t matter whether you have arthritis; your joints are designed to move. Exercise according to the best orthopedic consultancy in India may seem like the last thing you need for your suffering joints, but it really helps the critical nutrients enter the area to help combat inflammation and stiffness. In addition, a regular exercise regimen helps build stronger surrounding muscle groups in your joints, reducing stress on those locations.

4. Stretch daily

Making stretching a regular part of your routine is another great approach to keep your joints comfortable. If the tissues around your joints remain flexible, you can keep your range of motion even if you have arthritis. A great approach to include stretching into your day is to enroll in an online yoga class.

5. Eat well

In addition to improving overall health and joint health, a balanced diet helps people avoid gaining weight. To reduce the inflammation that causes discomfort around the joints, eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such almonds and salmon. Vitamin K, which is found in dark leafy greens like spinach and kale, helps to build stronger bones. Eating foods high in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, oranges, and red peppers, can help lessen joint pain and cartilage loss.

6. Get enough heat

You can soothe your aching joints by applying more heat with the help of a heating pad or a hot water bag. Try taking a hot bath or soaking your knees in hot water to ease joint discomfort and relax your muscles. Steam treatment is an additional choice. It is advised to stay away from utilizing hot water bottles and electrically heated pads for lengthy periods of time if you have diabetes or other health problems.

7. Maintain a healthy weight

Holiday festivities and a wintertime lack of exercise may contribute to unwanted weight gain. Your knees and other joints may be compressed by even a small amount of excess weight, making your aches and pains worse. Make an effort to follow a well-thought-out weight-management strategy to avoid gaining extra weight and lessen the chance that joint soreness may get worse.

8. Drink enough water

Drinking enough water according to the best orthopedic consultancy in India can help you manage your immunity, prevent illness, and alleviate muscular spasms. Drinking water on a regular basis might increase your energy. Furthermore, even a small amount of dehydration may raise your threshold for pain, so make sure you consume enough water each day. Make sure you get in eight or ten glasses of water a day.

9. Get proper sleep

For your body to repair and regenerate, it needs enough sleep each night. To reduce inflammation in your joints, we recommend that you receive eight hours of restful sleep per night. Aim for uninterrupted sleep by taking the appropriate steps to guarantee higher-quality rest.

10. Maintain right posture

Both when standing and sitting, maintain a straight back.

It is usually a good idea to wear a backpack across both shoulders in order to reduce strain on one.

When carrying large goods, bend your knees rather than your back.

In the end, protecting your joints

When engaging in high-intensity exercises, make sure to wear knee, wrist, and elbow protectors to avoid damage. Take the aforementioned arthritis preventive measures and enjoy the winter. Please visit specialists for Bone and Joint at RehabMitra if you are experiencing severe discomfort in your joints as a result of arthritis. If you feel any discomfort or stiffness throughout the winter, remember these guidelines.
