Arthritis is one of the leading causes of disabilities in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that nearly 1% of the world�s population suffer from a type of arthritis. In the U.S alone, 92.1 million adults have doctor�diagnosed arthritis or report arthritic symptoms (Source: The Arthritis Foundation, 2017).
 
Managing arthritis goes far beyond just medication, it also requires a holistic approach to diet, movement therapy, and a lot of mental strength. Most newly-diagnosed patients � overwhelmed by an onslaught of contradictory advice from well-wishers and an omni-present Dr. Google � dabble in various therapies that may end up worsening their condition.
 
In this scenario, The Wellness Guide to Arthritis is just what the doctor ordered! Written and edited by Dr. Humeira Badsha, a consultant rheumatologist with over two decades of experience in various countries (India, Singapore, US & the UAE), it provides an informative, positive and practical approach to managing arthritis.
 
The book is broken down into four sections:
 
Section 1: Understanding Arthritis.
2: Let Food be Thy Medicine. 
Section 3: Exercise & Arthritis.
Section 4: Acceptance & Joy - Living A Full Life with Arthritis.
 
Dr. Badsha graduated with an MBBS degree from The Madras Medical College, Chennai, India, before training at UCLA, California. She is American Board-Certified in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine. She has taught students from Harvard, Tufts, UCLA, and National University of Singapore before moving to Dubai in 2005. Founder and Board Member of the Emirates Arthritis Foundation & Emirates Society for Rheumatology, Dr. Badsha has an extensive insight into the rise of arthritis across populations. Having seen the devastating effects of the disease close to home, she has dedicated her knowledge to the creation of this guide for managing arthritis.
