Physicians recommend a diet rich in complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber.
A low-fat diet can help you lose weight, which means less stress on your joints. Cold temperatures, dampness from rain or snow, a fall in barometric pressure, and a rise in humidity just before a storm may worsen joint stiffness. For some people, a hot, dry climate may improve joint health. Exercise is essential to combat joint stiffness. Water exercise is the best choice because it strengthens muscles and increases circulation to the joints without putting undue stress on them.
