You can reduce your risk of getting it by:
Doing moderate levels of physical activity like walking, dancing or swimming.
Avoiding or limiting intense activity that puts strain on joints, such as lifting heavy objects on a regular basis.
Losing weight if you are overweight.
Taking glucosamine supplements. A study has shown that people with osteoarthritis of the knee who took glucosamine reported less pain and the rate at which the cartilage in their knee joints was being destroyed slowed down. Meanwhile another supplement, chondroitin sulphate, may help ease joint pain and stiffness while protecting cartilage.
