It’s been a while since I took my mom for a health screening. For me, I will make it a point to get it done once a year since it’s always good to screen and find out the condition of my health.

My mom is a patient of rheumatoid arthritis but she has refused treatment or medications. Despite her condition, she is still active and does all the household chores at home, even if it means occasional pain in her joints. Sometimes I would advise her to get more rest or to take some health supplements for her condition but she’s never taken my advice very seriously. I do hope that she will eat well and sleep more, instead of getting busy over the house everyday!

People suffering from arthritis should have a good diet and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. A lifestyle combined with exercise and a positive mindset is helpful in coping with the disease too.
