Joint pain can be caused by various factors such as arthritis (like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout), injuries, overuse, inflammation (tendinitis, bursitis), infections or  issues like poor diet and lack of exercise, 

What causes joint pain?

High uric acid can lead to painful gout and joint inflammation. Lifestyle changes and gentle movement help prevent flare-ups.  

Role of uric acid

A 30-minute brisk walk daily improves circulation and helps flush out uric acid naturally.

Walking

Gentle yoga improves flexibility, reduces joint stiffness, and supports kidney function to help in uric acid control.

Yoga

Low-impact and joint-friendly, swimming relieves pressure on the joints while boosting metabolism.

Swimming

Cycling strengthens the legs and improves joint mobility without heavy stress on your knees or ankles. 

Cycling

Doing stretches daily reduce stiffness, promote joint flexibility, and ease muscle tension from uric acid buildup.  

Stretching

Combine these exercises with 8–10 glasses of water daily to help flush out excess uric acid.
