Human body is linked with joints and they are most important to maintain the flexibility of every part. Joints are pulled into motion by muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Injury or disorder of any joint of our body not only affects that part but also affects the adjoining body parts. In fact aging can also restrict or decrease the flexibility of our joints. That is why it is very important to keep the joints healthy and fit to maintain the motion of our body. Following wellness tips should be followed to prevent injury or degeneration of the joint:

• Take omega 3 fatty acids from foods like fish, walnuts, flaxseeds etc. to reduce joint soreness or stiffness.
