The arthritis is a disease that attacks the sensitive people above forty, and therefore it must treated with care. And to think logically, it is understandable that people who have it have some reluctance to exercise physical for fear of hurting their joints. However, it is a myth.
A recent study of more than 1,200 participants found that exercise does not hurt at all to the arthritis patients, and it does not constitute any threat to increase the damage of the bones, both in lean and in overweight and obese.
This conclusion comes from the Harvard Men's Health Watch, where Dr. Simon Harvey studied the physical activity of a few individuals with arthritis, analyzing CT scans of the same joints to test the effects that the exercise had on them physically.
