The You Docs for Wednesday November 24, 2010

Joyce - Here is your ArcaMax The You Docs Ezine,

Pamper Your Moving Parts

Do you sometimes wake up feeling as stiff as the Tin Man before Dorothy found the oil can? You'd be amazed by how little it takes to lubricate your own body. Bonus: Staying limber and pampering your joints could keep you clear of the 1 million new cases of arthritis a year. Ladies first: Kick off the high heels. We totally get high fashion. (Wait, you mean white lab coats don't go with everything?) Except for extreme high heels. They can shorten and stiffen Achilles tendons, reduce your ankles' range of motion, and open the door to knee arthritis. Keep your stints on stilettos short. Slip into cushioned flats often. Go for the soft stuff. You know we're ardent fans of being active. But if you've got any iffy joints, keep it low-impact. Walk, swim, bike, row, do yoga, or dance your buns off. Do some weight-lifting, too. Strengthening the muscles above and below your affected joints turns them into protective shock absorbers. Just avoid the "J's": jogging, jumping rope, and other joint-pounders. Don't stay glued to the computer for hours. Get up every 15 to 30 minutes, walk past the refrigerator, and do some stretches. Movement keeps healthy joints youthful and helps heal borderline ones. Activity stimulates the formation of soothing synovial fluids, which keep your joints lubed. Lose weight. Yeah, we know, easier said than done. But if you get going on the first three changes, you're already on your way. And this one's a biggie in reducing arthritis risk, adding zing to your arteries and restoring spring to your step. ======== The YOU Docs -- Mike Roizen and Mehmet Oz -- are authors of the best-selling "YOU: The Owner's Manual" and "YOU: On a Diet."
