About 50 percent of adults over age 65 have arthritis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); osteoarthritis is the most common form.
You can’t do much to slow the march of time, but you can make plenty of lifestyle changes to show your joints a little love. Below are the seven worst habits for your joints:
1. Smoking
2. A physically inactive lifestyle
3. Overdoing exercise
4. Carrying a heavy load
5. Eating pro-inflammatory foods
6. Frequent texting and/or typing
7. Skimping on sleep

*True biblical shalom refers to PEACE – an inward sense of completeness or wholeness. Although it can describe the absence of war, most biblical references refer to inner completeness and tranquility. *
*In Israel today, when you greet someone or say goodbye, you say, “Shalom.” In this context, it means: “M**ay you be full of well-being” or “May health and prosp*e*rity be upon you.”*
