Arthritis is characterized by joint inflammation and can be caused by factors such as age, injury, or autoimmune disorders. The two most prevalent types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. While there is no cure for arthritis, there are strategies to effectively manage its impact on daily life.

Here are essential tips for arthritis management:

1️⃣ Stay Active: Regular low-impact exercises like swimming, walking, and cycling can help maintain joint flexibility, strengthen muscles, and reduce pain.

2️⃣ Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight increases joint strain, so strive for a healthy weight to alleviate pressure on joints and reduce symptoms.

3️⃣ Protect Your Joints: Avoid repetitive motions and activities that strain your joints. Use assistive devices or ergonomic tools to ease joint stress.

4️⃣ Seek Professional Care: Consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. Medications, therapies, and lifestyle modifications can effectively manage arthritis

Nigeria has the highest burden of malaria globally, accounting for nearly 27% of the global malaria burden. The risk of transmission exists throughout the country, all year round. In 2022, Nigeria top the Malaria death rates in Africa with 31.3% which is so absurd.
