The cold weather and the dry air create an environment that can wreak havoc on your joints. There are many ways to prevent joint pain and stiffness during this time of year. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to be active. This may not be possible if you have an injury or are recovering from an injury, but it is a good idea to try to be as active as possible. Another way to avoid joint pain is to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. It is important to get plenty of vitamin D by spending time in the sun, eating foods high in vitamin D, and drinking vitamin D-rich milk. It is also important to stay warm. Wearing layers and staying dry are some ways to keep yourself warm.
