Many people believe that a key to feeling young is to stay young at heart.
Yet, often our bodies aren't in tune with our hearts. In cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system appears to go awry and attacks healthy parts of the body, particularly the joints. In severe cases, the joints become deformed and internal organs are adversely affected. Many people are affected by it to some extent as they grow older. It most frequently occurs on weight-bearing joints, mainly knees, hips and ankles.
