Winter is upon us again and most of the country is covered in layers of freezing snow. Some folks know winter is here because they can see the snow through their window or hear about it on the news, but some of us know winters is coming long before it arrives. We can predict the cold because our joints and body ache like the devil and old injuries that we barely remember come back to haunt us.
Whether you have sinusitis, arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, or just a bad knee from that fall you took off grandma's porch 30 years ago, winter can be a time to cringe in pain rather than binge on eggnog. Luckily, there are simple steps you can take to ease the aches of cold weather pain.
Leg Warmers To Buy
It may sound like common sense, but it bears repeating. The best way toavoid cold-related aches and pains is to stay warm. Dress warmly, even when you're inside the house, and plug-ins that electric blanket and heater. You can also turn your house's heating system up or buy one of those new snug blanket-robes. When dressing to keep warm, you should also remember that several layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one overlarge jacket or sweater. By keeping your body warm, your joints won't stiffen up and hurt. Warm muscles and joints are less likely to snap or spasm which can lead to new injuries and renewed pain.
Another way to combat winter-related joint pain is to drink sufficient fluids to keep your body properly hydrated. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps, lethargy and general muscle soreness. Those over 65 should takeparticular care to drink enough as seniors are more affected by dehydration than others. Even better, you can drink a hot beverage such as decaffeinated tea to stay warm and hydrated at the same time
When choosing your beverages, be careful to avoid caffeine. Restricted blood flow or poor circulation can bring on debilitating joint diseases including Reynaud's Phenomenon, where fingers and toes become numb and turn blue. Two of the many substances that causes blood to flow less freely are caffeine and nicotine. Reducing, or eliminating, your intake of both substances will reduce the chances of developing major joint pain. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea and most sodas and nicotine in tobacco.

Another way to keep your muscles and joints warm and flexible would be to plan andstick to a regular exercise routine. The advantages of exercising include increased joint mobility and muscle strength and the maintenance of a healthy level of bone density. If you don ' t usually exercise, then start slowly with a relatively mild routine before moving on to something more strenuous. Another option would be to become a member of the local YMCA or gym and take advantage of the exercise equipment and personal trainers that these places offer.
