Are there any supplements/procedures proven to slow down the rate of arthritis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Glucosamine and chodroitin sulfate may help. Consult this site for information on this topic. http://www.webmd.com/arthritis/tc/glucosamine-and-chondroitin-topic-overview For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

No sure answer: But keeping the body tuned up with regular exercise, perhaps warm-up exercise prior to exertion, and questionably chrondroitin and glucosamine supplement may benefit some people. If you are talking about osteoarthritis, reducing stress to a particular joint (effect of jogging especially on hard surface on knees for example) will help your joints stay healthy longer.
