Strong Women and Men Beat Arthritis

Shows the direct connection between a strength-training program you can do at home and the reduction - and even prevention - of arthritis symptoms. No other research study using an exercise program has ever showed the results that the Tufts study achieved: a 43 percent reduction in pain, a 44 percent improvement in physical function, and a 71 percent improvement in strength. This book offers all the tools you need - and more: an exercise program designed specifically to protect the joints and relieve stiffness and soreness; a scientifically based eating plan to reduce inflammation and pain; a hands-on guide to the latest medications; the real story on complementary therapies; proven strategies for overcoming arthritis-related depression.
