With age, ligaments tighten, the fluid that lubricates joints deteriorates, and normal wear and tear take a toll. Luckily, there are ways to counteract these problems and reduce inflammation through exercise and diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seniors who want to remain healthy as they age can benefit in a variety of ways when they receive professional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homecare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assisting Hands Home Care is here to help your loved one accomplish daily tasks, prevent illness, and focus on living a healthier and more fulfilling life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Exercise<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise may seem like an unlikely solution, but it\u2019s necessary for anyone with joint pain and stiffness. Some joints, such as the shoulder, freeze if not exercised, resulting in a permanent loss of mobility. When exercising to maintain or promote better joint health, some ways are better than others:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing water exercises or swimming laps allows for full range of motion without adding stress to aging joints or bones.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga and stretching can alleviate stiffness and boost strength in the surrounding muscles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wii games may seem like child\u2019s play, but they\u2019re a fun way to keep active without causing strain on the body. Bowling, tennis, golf, walking on a tightrope, or even running an obstacle course all increase balance and keep the knees, hips, and ankles flexible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardio workouts, such as walking, relieve overall inflammation in the body by increasing circulation and reducing weight.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weak and painful joints are only one of many age-related conditions older adults may experience.
