Have arthritis? Get moving!

You have heard over and over doctors saying exercise is good for you--- especially as you age. According to the New York Times, there are now new findings published in the journal Arthritis Research & Therapy, that indicate exercising little over one hour a week can make a difference over the next three years when it comes to preventing stiff joints that lead to arthritis.

In this study, a first that focused specifically on middle aged women and older, those "in their 70s who exercised 75 minutes a week reported fewer symptoms of arthritis than those who did less, while more spry women who were active at least 2 1/2 hours weekly had even less pain in the three years that followed."

So what are you waiting for? Get moving!
