Add THIS to your exercise routine to maximize arthritis pain relief
Better Balance 5 part series, video 1: https://youtu.be/7EbHryt9YGM
5 minute balance routine: https://youtu.be/inO9BStdPcc
10 balance exercises using a shoe box: https://youtu.be/Dv-JryhbFd4
Balance and cardio follow along: https://youtu.be/i85xC8pWTEI
Balance is incredibly important when it comes to not only feeling more confident on uneven surfaces but also when searching for osteoarthritis pain relief. Oftentimes I find balance is left out from exercise routines. Even if it is included, just simply being able to stand on one leg may not be enough to unlock confidence while adventuring or to allow for significant pain relief. In this episode you’ll hear some balance examples as well as why it’s important to include in your daily routine.

I was joined by Elizabeth Ward, a registered dietitian and co-author of The Menopause Diet Plan as we discussed all things joint pain, menopause, and food! She answered:
What’s the most surprising thing you’ve found in the research around menopause?Is dairy something to avoid? Should gluten be avoided? What is the best thing to focus on when it comes to weight loss and menopause?Rules of thumb for the amount of foods to be eating
Food is so incredibly important when it comes to managing joint pain related to osteoarthritis. Menopause can actually trigger joint pain as well due to decreasing estrogen levels. It is so important to place priority not just on food but on exercise as well!
