Nevertheless, more than 5 million Canadians, about 1 in 6 people, suffer from osteoarthritis. Because it causes cartilage and bone in certain joints to deteriorate, osteoarthritis can affect the way these joints function.<\/p><p>Fortunately, in the following, we offer you a few tips that can help if you suffer from osteoarthritis. These tips are designed to provide more effective joint protection, particularly to prevent pain associated with osteoarthritis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4732883 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4732883\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><div class=\"divider\"><\/div>Tips to protect your joints<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-text-color=\"#6e6e6e\" data-dce-title-color=\"#000000\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c45c42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ucaddon_list\" data-id=\"5c45c42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ucaddon_list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<!-- start List -->\n\t\t<link id='font-awesome-css' href='https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/unlimited-elements-for-elementor-premium\/assets_libraries\/font-awesome6\/fontawesome-all.min.css' type='text\/css' rel='stylesheet' >\n\t\t<link id='font-awesome-4-shim-css' href='https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/unlimited-elements-for-elementor-premium\/assets_libraries\/font-awesome6\/fontawesome-v4-shims.min.css' type='text\/css' rel='stylesheet' >\n\n<style>\/* widget: List *\/\n\n\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42{\n  display:grid;\n}\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item\n{\n  display:flex;\n}\n\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item-image img\n{\n  max-width:100%;\n}\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item-text *{\n  margin-bottom:0px;\n}\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item-index\n{\n  flex-grow:0;\n  flex-shrink:0;\n  display:flex;\n  align-items:center;\n  justify-content:center;\n  line-height:1em;\n}\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item-index svg\n{\n  height:1em;\n  width:1em;\n}\n\n#uc_list_elementor_5c45c42 .ue-list-item-content\n{\n  flex-grow:1;\n}\n\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"uc_list_elementor_5c45c42\" class=\"ue-list uc-items-wrapper  \"  >\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item elementor-repeater-item-232c8b7\">\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-index\">\n            <i class='fas fa-chevron-circle-right'><\/i>  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-content\">\n        <p class=\"ue-list-item-title\">Change position regularly<\/p>\n          <div class=\"ue-list-item-text\"><p>Our sedentary lifestyle poses many risks to our health. When we refer to a sedentary lifestyle, we mean activities in which energy expenditure is zero (or almost zero), such as watching television or sitting at a desk for an extended period. In these situations, it is important to change position frequently. A sedentary lifestyle puts a lot of pressure on the joints since we rarely adopt ergonomic positions. Taking time to stand up or take a short walk is a good way to change position regularly and reduce the negative effects on joint health.<\/p><\/div>\n             <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-list-item elementor-repeater-item-1432eab\">\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-index\">\n            <i class='fas fa-chevron-circle-right'><\/i>  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-content\">\n        <p class=\"ue-list-item-title\">Adapt your activities to your pain level<\/p>\n          <div class=\"ue-list-item-text\"><p>Listen to your body and take your current level of joint pain into consideration when planning your activities.

In fact, joints that remain inactive or underused are at risk of gradually losing their mobility, i.e., they will be able to perform movements with less range of motion and for a shorter period. In this sense, it is important to maintain good joint mobility by doing regular stretching exercises or by practising yoga, which allows you to do exercises with a great range of motion.<\/p><\/div>\n             <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-list-item elementor-repeater-item-a3ee3d2\">\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-index\">\n            <i class='fas fa-chevron-circle-right'><\/i>  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"ue-list-item-content\">\n        <p class=\"ue-list-item-title\">Avoid risky activities for your joints<\/p>\n          <div class=\"ue-list-item-text\"><p>Sports and activities involving jumps and\/or sudden movements (changes in direction, repeated impacts, etc.) pose a risk to your joints, especially when you have osteoarthritis.
