Moving is the Best Medicine

This video is so cute. It is true, “Moving is the best medicine.”

Because I’m not a medical person, and more of a techie/foodie/fitness enthusiast, I had no idea that there was such a condition as osteoarthritis, or known as OA – no not “over acting,” as my mom would say if I was being dramatic. Anyway, it’s a condition that affects your joints and the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage. Because cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows the joint to move easily, when it breaks down, bones rub against each other, causing stiffness, pain and even loss of movement. Yikes! So this campaign, FightArthritisPain.org provides resources about this condition through support forums, social media and even a quiz to see if osteoarthritis is in your future, and what you can do to manage it. Just because you have this condition doesn’t mean you can’t move or exercise, but the website gives some great information to help you get moving through stretching exercises and more!

So what will you do to keep moving?

Thanks to Arthritis Foundation and the Ad Council for providing me “Moving is The Best Medicine” package.
