Few people with arthritis exercise, report states



More people are exercising in their free time these days than in previous decades, but individuals with arthritis remain unlikely to be physically active, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More people are exercising in their free time these days than in previous decades, but individuals with arthritis remain unlikely to be physically active, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A prescription to buy Celebrex may help enable these individuals to become more active.

The researchers reported that the number of people who never use their free time for exercise decreased from 31 percent in 1989 to 25 percent in 2008. This is a promising sign, as physical inactivity is considered one of the most important contributors to chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

However, the report indicated that very few of the more than 50 million Americans who suffer from arthritis get regular physical activity. In most cases this is due to the fact that their condition makes it too difficult for them to be active.

This is particularly troubling because there are well-established benefits associated with regular exercise for individuals with Arthritis. Those who find it difficult to get the exercise they need may benefit from talking to their doctor about a prescription to buy Celebrex.
