Arthritis Awareness Month - May 2023

Here’s a rather surprising fact: Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America. More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children are suffering with joint pain (or disease). Arthritis Awareness Month helps all of us deal with this commonly misunderstood health issue.  There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis and related diseases. The most common types include osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), fibromyalgia, and gout.  Take time this May to learn about prevention and medical care — while finding out which foods can help.  And perhaps, most importantly, understand that proper self-care can make a big difference.
