Have you ever woken up with a stiff, painful back?  Or stood up after sitting too long in a movie theater and had stiff, painful knees?  You probably noticed that the pain eased after you got up and moved a bit. If so, you probably have some degree of osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is so common that by the time people reach 40, most people show some signs of it on X-rays.  In this show, I am going to discuss what osteoarthritis is, what causes it and give you some tips on managing the pain and stiffness accompanied by osteoarthritis.

Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, Mayo Clinic healthcentral.com and medicinenet.com

The blog posts for this week are:

1. Healthy Grilling: Avoid Those Carcinogens!
2. Bagels: Healthy Breakfast or Just Hype?
