Strong Women and Men Beat Arthritis by Miriam E Nelson

Strong Women and Men Beat Arthritis by Miriam E Nelson

Athritis afflicts millions of people in Britain, and is the cause of often permanent and excruciating pain, extreme immobility and early retirement. This book shows the connection between a strength-training programme you can do at home, and the reduction - even prevention - of arthritis symptoms. The author's own research study has shown that this exercise programme resulted in: a 43 per cent reduction in pain; a 44 per cent improvement in physical function; and a 71 per cent improvement in strenth. The full programme, as set out in this book, offers: exercises to protect the joints and relieve stiffness and soreness; a scientifically-based eating plan to reduce inflammation and pain; a guide to the latest medications (in 2003); the true story behind complementary therapies - which work and which don't; and proven strategies for overcoming arthritis-related depression.
