Psoriatic Arthritis (PA)
Think
and Be Well
ExerciseThis is probably the most important aspect of my treatment. My exercise program is completely self prescribed (most doctors I've seen did not even mention it, none have stressed its importance). The trick is to get the right type and amount of exercise. Swimming is my main gig since it is almost zero impact and I love the sport anyway. Yoga is a good deal, but you need to go to a really experienced teacher. Walking, yard work, etc. can be very satisfying, but be careful that you do not over do it. Diet Every R-Doc I've asked so far claims there is no documented proof that diet affects PA. I say "not so". I'm 100% convinced that diet affects my PA. Try avoiding sugar, fatty foods (especially fried), and highly spiced foods. |
