The slogan for NAAM is "Moving Is The Best Medicine" - and it really is. Every single pound that you are overweight with, puts more wear and tear on your joints. The more you move, the more calories you burn. Even just a few extra steps each day can help you loose weight, so be sure to do simple things like park a few extra parking spaces away from the store, and take the long way whenever you can.
Wondering if you are showing signs of arthritis? Check out Fight Arthritis Pain.org, where you can find information about symptoms or take a risk quiz, and be sure to discuss the results with your doctor. Your doctor can help you create a plan to treat your arthritis that can include exercise, physical therapy, and/or anti-inflammatory medications or joint supplements.
Win it! One lucky reader will win a "Moving Is The Best Medicine" prize pack! It includes a copy of Walk With Ease, a DVD of Tai Chi For Arthritis, ThermaCare, Pilot Dr. Grip Pen, 5 Hefty 1 zip storage bag coupons, 5 Instant Maxwell coupons, Cardinal EasyOpen Binders, and a Scrubbing bubbles coupon book. To enter, I'd like for you to pledge that you'll get out and move - walk extra steps every day. Inside or outside - even at your favorite mall, it doesn't matter. Just get out and move! :)

I am walking, even though I know I am not supposed to.In my twenties I was told I had bones like an eighty year old. I hate arthitis. I have to get out, and it helps my son to walk with me, too.

I promise to walk more. I've had arthritis since I was a child and it doesn't get easier. I guess I do need to discover the great outdoors more.
I promise I'm going to walk more. I have to...I'm too young to feel this old!
I will be walking a lot more soon when my adult daughter moves back home and can babysit my younger ones for me. I can't wait!
My boyfriend and I will both be walking a bit more now that the better weather is here. He has neuropathy and I have fibromyalgia-both make it painful to walk.

Hubby and I walk uphill and down every morning for about 50 minutes because of my arthritis and his heart condition. I know how important it is for the inflammation, so I decided I will do this for life. Interesting is my Dad got this same thing at my age also.
