6 ways to fight arthritis

                                                      

 Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. A joint is the area where two bones meet

Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Cartilage protects a joint, allowing it to move smoothly. Cartilage also acts as shock absorber, when pressure is placed on the joint, such as when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness.

Some of the potential causes of arthritis are

·         An autoimmune disease (in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue)

·         Broken bone

·         General "wear and tear" on joints

·         Infection, usually by bacteria or virus
