Rheumatoid Arthritis - How to prevent?

Although scientists are not certain about the exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis, one can prevent the disabilities caused by rheumatoid arthritis through early diagnosis and treatment.

A healthy balanced diet and moderate regular exercise is also helpful. Rheumatoid Arthritis will only cripple patients if the diagnosis is delayed or if patients do not take their medications as instructed or quit smoking.
