to prevent Amavata care should be taken to avoid Sedentary Habits. Also one
should perform Daily Exercises or Yoga. One should also avoid Heavy, Viscous
and Incompatible foods. Instead one should take High-fibre and Low Fat Diet.
Care should also be taken to keep our Digestive Fire intact, as the case of all
diseases is the weakening of digestive fire.
Do mild weight bearing exercises regularly as they improve bone density. When
certain yogasanas are done with rythming breathing techniques they increase the
tissue building and improves the strengthening and stretching of the muscles
around the points. Not to climb stairs or bend or squat. Walking a little distance
may help. Biking, swimming or aerobic dances helps to improve the bone
condition. Avoid alcohols, cigarettes, carbonated beverages. Take food that is rich
in calcium like cheese, orange juice, leafy vegetables. Cereals etc. Drink milk
regularly as it has vitamin D content in it. Take a lot of vitamin K rich foods such
as lettuce, spinach, Brussels sprouts etc., Take care to consume only freshly cooked
warm food and take hot soups of lentils, pulses and meat with ginger, black pepper
and long pepper powdered sprinkled to it.. It is essential to include a moderate
amount of ghee and oil in diet as it lubricates the joints. Avoid taking food that are
sour, spicy, deed fried, oily, pungent, acid, dark poultry, refined sugar, femented
food and also lessen the intake of salts. Also follow some basic rules of not eating
wrong combination of foods, eat only up to your limit, Strictly follow the timings
of your eating and do not eat in between the meals.

panchkarma will yield a great result in treating Rheumatoid arthritis.
