September is Arthritis Awareness Month — a reminder that joint health is essential to overall well-being, especially for seniors. Gentle, low-impact activities like swimming, tai chi, or short daily walks can help keep joints flexible and muscles strong. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces pressure on hips and knees, while a balanced diet rich in omega-3s, fruits, and vegetables can help manage inflammation. Heat therapy, such as warm baths or heating pads, can soothe stiffness, and pacing activities can prevent overexertion. Remember, small, consistent changes often make the biggest difference.
