Exercise helps to keep your joints well nourished and lubricated, keeping the joints from further degradation. This also helps to strengthen the supporting structures around the joints, including tendons and ligaments.

The mechanical stress on the joints that occurs during exercise has also been found to suppress inflammatory responses, which is especially helpful for those who suffer from osteoarthritis.

Exercise also helps to prevent cartilage damage caused by arthritis second handedly by encouraging weight loss. This will further help to reduce pain and discomfort caused by arthritis by reducing the weighted pressure placed on the joints. Weight loss also prevents greater damage to the joints and surrounding tissues.
