 World Arthritis Day is an annual event that shines a light on the challenges faced by millions of people living with arthritis worldwide. Seniors are particularly affected by arthritis, with statistics showing that a significant portion of this age group grapples with the condition. At Melody Living Lake in the Hills, we’re dedicated to supporting our residents with arthritis. Arthritis is a common ailment among seniors, affecting millions of older adults globally. In the United States alone, nearly 24 million people aged 65 and older are diagnosed with arthritis, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The prevalence of arthritis increases with age, making it a significant health concern for seniors. Living with arthritis can be challenging, but there are several strategies seniors can adopt to alleviate their symptoms and enhance their overall quality of life. Maintaining a healthy weight can help alleviate symptoms as excess weight places additional stress on joints, particularly in the knees, hips, and spine.  Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce pain and improve mobility. Staying active through regular, low-impact exercise, such as swimming or gentle yoga, can help improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness. Melody Living offers fitness programs tailored to seniors' needs, making it easy to stay active. Consuming an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can also help reduce inflammation associated with arthritis. Melody Living Lake in the Hills is committed to supporting residents in their journey to manage arthritis effectively.
