### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended
*by R***E on July 12, 2015*

With arthritis in the family, having been a runner through my mid-40s, (OK, a jogger), and having not too long ago passed the halfway mark (i.e., my 50th birthday) this book offered me a wealth of information about staying in good shape for a long time. Author Richard Diana was a professional football player who experienced significant trauma to his knees and body. As an orthopedic surgeon, he regularly treats people with severe arthritis. He wrote this book to share what he's learned about the best way to treat arthritis to maintain healthy joints.Written in terms that a layman can understand, Dr. Diana describes the root causes of arthritis, particularly the role of inflammation. He outlines the basics of inflammation, how joints work and what can go wrong with them, the foods that help or hinder inflammation, the role of supplements, and how exercise helps. He follows this with an eight-week plan to reduce inflammation and reduce pain, providing different approaches for people with mild, moderate, or severe arthritis. The appendix provides more in-depth information about the cell science behind inflammation and pain.I found Dr. Diana's recommendations to be helpful, but not all that surprising. Suggestions about diet and exercise are consistent with many other resources on health. What I found particularly useful were the discussions about the types of food that either cause or reduce inflammation (hint: carbohydrates are not so great). I was surprised by the lengthy list of supplements that Dr. Diana recommends, many but not all of which have strong evidence to support them.This book would be useful to not only people who already have arthritis, but also to anyone who wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Even folks who already eat healthily and exercise could glean more tips from this book about what foods to add to their diet and which ones to cut back on. I'm not a big fan of supplements, so I'll withhold judgment on that chapter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make Room For This Book on Your Shelf
*by W***E on March 11, 2014*

I am putting my copy of Dr. Richard Diana's "Healthy Joints for Life" on my bookshelf next to Dr. Arthur Agatston's "The South Beach Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food." What I liked and did not expect from Dr. Diana's book is his validation of Agatston's focus on the glycemic index. Yes, I should be paying attention to the glycemic load of foods not only for weight reduction but also for improved joint health. He also echoes Pollan in extolling the virtues of "old style" foods, not food products -- grass fed beef, yogurt, nuts -- all in reasonable quantities.Until I read Dr. Diana's book, I was content with my exercise routine. I was off to the gym or out on walks or hikes or paddles four or five times per week. Based on the arguments Dr. Diana outlined, I recognize that it's time to incorporate more resistance training and more flexibility into my workouts (time to sanitize my old yoga mat).I am less likely to go "all in" for the supplements that Dr. Diana calls out in the book, not because I don't believe in them. Dr. Diana makes a good case for their use. I take an anti-coagulant because of a mechanical heart valve and my physicians have advised me to be quite careful in ingesting things where I am not absolutely certain of their composition. I'll stay with the Omega-3 pill and the multi-vitamin that has served me well for years.I also found that I liked the author of this book. It's clear that he wants to help people feel better and live fuller lives. His use of patient vignettes and personal stories within the chapters was quite effective.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best!
*by D***R on March 22, 2024*

I have read quite a few books on joint pain relief and arthritis but Dr Diana's book is by far the best I have read. He explains how our joints work in a way that is understandable and he then provides sensible solutions to our typical joint issues. I also like how he draws in practical experiences from his days at Yale football and the Miami Dolphins. Plus if you want a deeper dive into the science he provides great detail at the end. Come to find out he is a practicing orthopedist in my back yard! I am employing many of the things he recommends and I am seeing improvements!
