Arthritis affects more than one in four people in the UK and is a blanket term used to describe over 100 different types of arthritis. If you have received an arthritis diagnosis, you will know there is no cure. Or you might not have an arthritis diagnosis, but your joints have been sore, fragile and failing for years. So, where do you go from here? 

Well, evidence suggests that you shouldn't give up hope and that you may be able to appease symptoms of pain, swelling, redness and deformity by changing your diet and lifestyle.

In today's episode, VJ unravels the potential root causes of arthritis and explains natural approaches to addressing the underlying causes of arthritis to help with symptoms of joint pain, swelling and stiffness. 

Highlights from today's episode include:

• Symptoms of arthritis include morning stiffness, joint pain and swelling.
• The different types of arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and creative arthritis. 
• The potential root causes of arthritis 
• The link between arthritis and gut health.
• The best diet for arthritis and the debate about nightshade vegetables. 
• Stress management techniques to help with arthritis.
