Body Ache & Pains - Arthritis

Before, Arthritis are most common with Men & Women over 50 but lately, it's a common problem to people aged 30 up ! Why ? They say that it's the food we eat, rich in artificial flavors & colors. Some say it's the environment, were so polluted there's hardly any good air to breathe. But mostly say it's the Lifestyle. Besides having an 8 to 5 office job which entrails sitting for long hours, when we finally get the chance to unwind, we go clobber on buffets ! Most establishments now are competing against each other to provide the most dishes as possible, and we are just loving it.
Hello GOUT ! This is what we think as simple arthritis leveling up.

Ok, Ok let's start simple before hitting the Panic Button. What are the causes of Arthritis ?

• Age
  Cartilage becomes more brittle with age and has less of a capacity to repair itself. As people grow older they are more likely to develop arthritis.

• Weight
  Because joint damage is partly dependent on the load the joint has to support, excess body weight can lead to arthritis. This is especially true of the hips and knees that can be worn quickly in heavier patients.

• Previous Injury
  Joint damage can cause irregularities in the normal smooth joint surface. Previous major injuries can be part of the cause of arthritis. An example of an injury leading to arthritis is a tibial plateau fracture, where the broken area of bone enters the cartilage of the knee joint.

• Occupational Hazards
  Workers in some specific occupations seem to have a higher risk of developing arthritis than other jobs. These are primarily high demand jobs such as assembly line workers and heavy construction.

• Some High-Level Sports
  It is difficult to determine how much sports participation contributes to development of arthritis. Certainly, sports participation can lead to joint injury and subsequent arthritis. However, the benefits of activity likely outweigh any risk of arthritis.

• Illness or Infection
  People who experience a joint infection (septic joint), multiple episodes of gout, or other medical conditions, can develop arthritis of the joint.
