(HealthNewsDigest.com)-Following a few simple steps can keep joints healthy, prevent pain and help you stay active--whether you’re 30 years old, 70 years old or anywhere in between. Try these tips:

• Consult a physician if you have persistent joint problems.

• Devise an exercise plan that provides at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day.

• Prevent sports injury through strengthening, balance and agility drills. Also, switch from high-risk sports and activities to those with less risk; biking instead of running, for instance.

• Consider using a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement such as Osteo Bi-flex.

Taken in combination, glucosamine and chondroitin can promote flexibility, renew cartilage and lubricate joints.

Dr. Theodosakis is author of the No. 1 New York Times best seller “The Arthritis Cure, revised edition.”

A few tips can help keep joints healthy--whatever your age.
