Dr Ashish Arbat, Orthopedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon, Jehangir Multispeciality Hospitals, Pune
Arthritis is the inflammation of joints, a common chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited movement. It comes in various forms, such as osteoarthritis from joint wear and tear and rheumatoid arthritis as an autoimmune disease. Many arthritis sufferers notice worsening symptoms in cold weather. Did you know? Lower temperatures, atmospheric pressure shifts, and higher humidity levels could contribute to increased joint pain and stiffness for some people. In winter, the decrease in atmospheric pressure can result in swollen tissues, leading to increased tension between joints and subsequent pain. Additionally, the reduced blood flow to fingers and toes can exacerbate this discomfort.
Adhere to these tips for managing arthritis during the winter
• Engage in regular physical activity to ease arthritis symptoms, as it can enhance flexibility and build muscle strength. Opt for low-impact exercises such as swimming or cycling and ensure a proper warm-up before exercising.
• Keep your body warm by layering clothing to prevent muscle stiffness. Choose thermal materials and wear gloves, socks, and a hat to protect from the cold.
• Go for heat therapy to alleviate joint pain and stiffness by applying heat through heating pads, warm towels, or warm baths to promote muscle relaxation and improve blood circulation.
• Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce stress on your joints, which can alleviate arthritis symptoms and minimize pain.
• Stay well-hydrated by drinking enough water, which can help maintain joint lubrication and decrease inflammation. Aim to drink a minimum of 12 glasses of water daily.
• Get support. If arthritis makes daily tasks challenging, consider using supportive tools like canes, and walkers, to alleviate pressure on your joints. Opting for appropriate protective gear such as braces or splints can offer assistance to affected joints and alleviate discomfort.
• Add anti-inflammatory foods to your diet to combat arthritis-related inflammation. Incorporate omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, as well as antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables such as berries and leafy greens.
• Sufficient rest is crucial for managing arthritis symptoms. Prioritize quality sleep and take breaks when necessary to prevent overexertion.
• Effective stress management techniques are vital in mitigating the impact of stress on arthritis symptoms. Consider incorporating practices like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or engaging in enjoyable hobbies into your routine.
• Stay in touch with the expert. Seeking advice from a medical professional, such as a doctor or rheumatologist, can assist in identifying the most effective approach, which may involve customized medications to alleviate arthritis symptoms in the winter.

School Children showcase poor fitness levels across India
New Delhi, January 19, 2024 – The 12th Annual Health Survey by Sportz Village, through its award-winning EduSports in-school Physical Education & Sports program, has revealed poor fitness levels in most school children across India. The nationwide survey assessed for various health parameters like Body Mass Index (BMI), Aerobic capacity, Anaerobic capacity, Core Strength, Flexibility, Upper body strength, and Lower body strength for over 73,000 children in the age groups of 7 years to 17 years from across 250 cities and towns in India.
The survey also showcases that the frequency of weekly Physical Education (P.E.) periods plays a pivotal role in shaping the health of children. The comprehensive data reveals a noteworthy correlation between the number of P.E. sessions per week and various aspects of children’s physical fitness. Remarkably, the survey highlights that children engaging in more than two physical education periods per week exhibit significantly enhanced performance across multiple physical fitness parameters. Improvements are observed in crucial aspects such as Lower Body Strength, Abdominal Strength, Flexibility, and Aerobic Capacity. These findings underscore the positive impact of increased P.E. participation on the holistic well-being of children, emphasizing the importance of incorporating regular physical activity into their routine.
It also reveals notable distinctions in various health metrics between boys and girls. Particularly noteworthy is the observation that a higher percentage of girls exhibit healthier Body Mass Index (BMI) levels, with 62% of girls attaining scores within the healthy range. In contrast, boys show a comparatively lower percentage in this regard.
Further examination of specific physical fitness parameters unveils that girls outperform boys in Flexibility and Upper Body Strength. These findings underscore the positive impact of regular physical activity on these aspects of girls’ health. However, the survey also brings to light areas where boys exhibit stronger performance. Notably, boys demonstrate superior results in Aerobic Capacity and Lower Body Strength. These nuanced insights into gender-specific health indicators emphasize the importance of tailored approaches in promoting overall well-being among both boys and girls.
Commenting on the findings from the Annual Health Survey, Mr. Saumil Majmudar, CEO & Managing Director, Sportz Village, said “At Sportz Village, we are committed to transform the lives of children through the magic of sports. The Annual Health Survey sheds light on the state of health and fitness among Indian children today – and the current situation is not ideal. There is a tendency for school leaders and parents to view sports & physical education as non-essential and not as important as academics. Hence, less time and energy are devoted to physical activity resulting in poor health of children. Schools need to view sports as an integral part of education and should provide opportunities for children to engage in structured physical activities. Various studies have shown that regular structured physical activity not only improves physical health but also impacts mental health and academic performance. Over the past 15 years, the EduSports program has bridged this gap by integrating into the school timetable and calendar”
Key findings

Beating the Winter Blues: Tips to Stay Active and Fit in Cold Weather
By – Nikhil Kumar, a fitness enthusiast
As the winter chill settles in, the temptation to stay bundled up in a cosy blanket can often overshadow our motivation to stay active. However, maintaining a regular exercise routine during the colder months is crucial for physical and mental well-being. Here are seven practical tips to help you beat the winter lethargy and stay committed to your fitness goals:
Exercise during your lunch break
Incorporating a workout into your lunch break may seem challenging, but it can work wonders for your energy levels and focus. A brisk walk, stretching exercises, or a quick meditation session can enhance mental clarity, physical strength, and flexibility. It’s a refreshing way to break up the workday and stay motivated.
Keep your body warm
Cold weather can lead to stiffness, making it difficult to exercise. Layering your clothing when working out outdoors is an effective way to stay warm. Alternatively, consider indoor exercises to avoid exposure to the cold. Finding the right balance in clothing is essential; stay warm but avoid overdressing to prevent discomfort.
Drink plenty of water
Hydration is key, even in winter. Sweating, breathing dry air, and increased urine production can contribute to dehydration. Maintaining proper hydration levels is essential for blood circulation, skin health, and overall well-being. Watch out for common symptoms of dehydration, such as dry skin, fatigue, and headaches.
Try walking and running
Embrace the simplicity and benefits of walking and running, especially in cold weather. These outdoor exercises contribute to cardiovascular health and burn more calories than their warm-weather counterparts. The chilly air can enhance focus and reduce stress, making it easier to shed those extra kilos.
Stretch before exercising
Skipping the warm-up can increase the risk of injuries. Warming up improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and enhances performance. These benefits minimise the risk of exercise-related injuries by reducing muscle strain and soreness.
A partner can help
Stay motivated by finding an exercise companion, whether it’s a friend, neighbour, or workout buddy. Having a motivated partner can keep you accountable and make your workouts more enjoyable.
Join an online class
If outdoor exercise isn’t your preference, consider joining an online fitness class. Whether instructor-led or pre-recorded, online classes offer convenience and flexibility. They can be an excellent way to stay motivated, maintain your fitness routine, and achieve your health goals from the comfort of your home.
By incorporating these tips into your winter fitness routine, you can overcome the seasonal challenges and ensure that your well-being remains a top priority. Stay active, stay warm, and stay healthy!
