Top summer tips for managing your arthritis naturally

Summer may be the time for holidays and enjoying the outdoors (weather permitting!) but if you suffer from arthritis, it’s not always that easy.  Here are a few tips for managing arthritis naturally in the summer.

  1. If you’re on a car journey, try to take breaks so you can stretch and move, or rest if you’re driving.
  2. Try to take a short walk each day. If you’re walking in the countryside, try to choose footpaths that are on the flat, and use a walking stick for support.
  3. Feel like tackling some gardening? Use a lightweight wheelbarrow for carrying tools or heavy bags of compost, and use a gardening chair rather than kneeling.
  4. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water – always have a bottle handy.  This may help prevent fatigue or dizziness.
  5. Swimming is excellent exercise for people with arthritis.  Avoid the busiest times and take care when getting in and out of the pool.
  6. If you have already discovered the dietary component of Charles de Coti-Marsh’s Home Treatment Programme for arthritis, do try to stick to it although tempted by summer treats.  Remember the recommended natural supplements too, as many people who follow his dietary guidance do report improvements from taking K Compound in particular.  If you’ve never heard of the Home Treatment Programme, visit The Arthritic Association’s website for more details!

Have a great, safe and active summer. 

The Arthritic Association (http://www.arthriticassociation.org.uk) is a UK registered charity dedicated to helping relieve people from the pain of arthritis through natural methods. Founded in 1942 by Charles de Coti-Marsh, the Association continues his holistic approach to dietary management, postural management and natural supplementation.  Charles de Coti-Marsh dedicated his life to developing possibly the first truly effective method of treating arthritis, through decades of groundbreaking research. His theories and techniques are outlined in his books, Home Treatment for Arthritis, Rheumatism and Arthritis - The Conquest and Diet for Arthritis.  The Arthritis Association has enabled tens of thousands of arthritis sufferers to overcome their disorder and lead a better quality of life.
