<s>[INST] Can I do anything to prevent arthritis? [/INST] Yes, and because there's no cure, arthritis disease prevention is your best bet. The three big things you can do are 1) work out regularly and stay active; 2) maintain a healthy weight; and 3) prevent injuries to your joints. "We tend to think of heart health as the main reason to keep physically fit and keep our weight down. But we need to consider another good reason—preventing arthritis," says Klippel. Slimming down can also help if you already suffer from arthritis, and you don't have to lose a lot to make a difference. When you walk, your knees absorb a force equal to about 3 times your body weight. So losing just 10 pounds actually relieves each knee of about a 30-pound load with every stride you take.
