There is no particular way to prevent arthritis, however, monitoring your health and
doing some sport couple of times a week can do the work.
People who has gout should stay away from:
Alchochol, Meat organs , Sardines, Anchovies & Gravy.

Finally, we can conclude that arthritis is a disorder which can affect any joint in the
human body. The cause varies depending on the type and each has its resulting
disorder. If the patient is severely affected it may harm his/her everyday life. Arthritis
is treated either by medications, physically or surgically. In order to prevent this
disease you’d have to do some sport frequently.
