Because there are more than 100
types of arthritis and related diseases, no single diet

diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease; and be

tai chi, done properly, can be a beneficial exercise for
people with arthritis," says Paul Lam, MD, a Sydney-based
family practitioner and tai chi master who designed the
Australian arthritis program.
