Keep a healthy body weight as extra weight puts stress on your joints. Control your blood sugars as high level blood sugars raise the risk of osteoarthritis. Exercise is a good way to prevent joint problems. It helps joints from not getting stiff. Prevent injury to your joints. Pay attention to pain, if any pain lasts for more than 1 to 2 hours after activity, you may have done too much, so take rest.
