We recently covered a news article about the relationship between the weather and our joint pain.
While studies have now proven that weather has an impact on the health of our joints, what exactly can be done about it?
Winter is starting to take grip and while many are planning for the festive season, others are dreaming of hitting the slopes.

Recent studies have proven bad weather can make our joints more painful.
Changes in barometric pressure, temperature, and even rain can, not only cause joint pain but also have a further impact on our bodies.
Scientists from the University of Manchester found arthritis sufferers were 20% more likely to suffer pain on days that are humid and windy with low atmospheric pressure than on average weather days.
The study was also conducted on suffers of fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraines.

As many runners make their way back into work, still aching from the 26 mile stint, the hard work to recovery has just begun.
There are many home remedies which can cure the mild effects of long distance running but not everyone gets away with blisters and black toenails. First time runners often experience marathon feet or marathon foot, where the soft tissue becomes inflamed and walking can seem inconceivable.
