Dear Friend,
If you have pain, stiffness, warmth, swelling or redness of a joint, you may have arthritis. And you most certainly are not alone. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the U.S. today, affecting more than 54 million Americans–of which, 43% have been forced to limit their daily lives.
Already, it’s costing U.S. taxpayers over $128 billion a year. And this epidemic is only expected to grow. Estimates show that by 2040, there will be 78 million sufferers (adult and children)–that’s 26% of the U.S. population!

What is arthritis anyway?
Despite what you’ve probably heard, arthritis is not any one specific disease. Rather, it’s a condition referring to joint inflammation, whose varied symptoms fall into the wider category of “rheumatic diseases.” There are over 100 different types of arthritis, each with its own set of symptoms, and specific treatments.

The pain of arthritis may be sudden and brief … or drag on for months or more. Either way, it couldn’t be any more distressing or disrupting to your daily life. That’s why Managing Arthritis dedicates three entire chapters to the pros and cons of both traditional and alternative forms of pain management.
You’ll discover why, in addition to your physical pain, you may suffer from the tingling, burning of neuropathic pain … depression … anxiety … and problems sleeping–and how to cope.

Then … say “Cheers!” to the anti-inflammation diet!
As you’ll soon see in Managing Arthritis, the studies are in: What’s good for your heart is good for your joints. Get the diet DOs and DON’Ts for fighting inflammation. Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll find:
DO eat fish two or more times a week. According to a 2017 study in Arthritis Care & Research, it can lower RA activity.
DON’T eat the nightshades. Eating potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes and green peppers often causes a flare-up.
DO enjoy one glass of wine or beer each day to prevent RA.
DON’T drink alcohol if you take pain-relieving drugs … or suffer from gout.
DO increase your intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and healthy proteins.
DON’T eat processed foods. Avoid refined sugar, dairy and red meat.
Managing Arthritis gives you the tools you need to take a commonsense approach to healthy eating that can reduce your risk of arthritis … and relieve your pain significantly.
Exercise your options!
It seems counterintuitive. The pain, stiffness and restricted movements that accompany arthritis can sap energy … making you feel like you just want to curl up in bed. However, increasing evidence, suggests that exercise is extremely beneficial in mild-to-moderate arthritis. It …
• Helps reduce weight
• Increases circulation
• Reduces the risk for type 2 diabetes
• Strengthens bones
• Tones and builds muscles
• Produces endorphins–those feel-good brain chemicals
• Improves coordination, balance and range of motion
No wonder the American College of Rheumatology recommends that arthritis patients participate in four types of exercise: Flexibility, strengthening, aerobic and body awareness. You’ll find some excellent options.
Consider your alternatives!
Let the mind-body techniques in this report help you get relief from the often vicious circle that is arthritis. You know how it works all too well: Chronic pain causes stress, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance … which increase pain perception and inflammation … which only make your pain worse.
