5 Kitchen Hacks for Arthritis This Christmas

5 Kitchen Hacks for Arthritis This Christmas 

Christmas time is a wonderful time of year. We get the chance to connect with family and friends that we wouldn’t necessarily see that often, enjoy mountains of sweet treats and get to relax after a busy year. What we forget sometimes is that Christmas can also be a very busy and possibly stressful time of year. We’re all getting ready for the big dinner, wrapping presents, giving the house its big Christmas clean so that we can eventually relax.

This all takes its toll on the body and the mind. Since we need to get certain tasks completed before the 25th, we push ourselves too hard. For those of us who are living with an inflammatory disease like arthritis, pushing our bodies, won’t help at all. Overdoing it is the last thing you should do. Listen to your body, know when its time to stop and cut yourself a break.

While we may not have all the answers to enjoying your Christmas, pain free. We do have 5 great kitchen hacks to help you with your arthritis this Christmas.

 

Uccello Kettle

Christmas to me, is a hot cuppa that I actually have the time to hug, drink and enjoy. It’s even better when I get to laugh and be with my family at the same time.

Muggi Cup Holder

My Grandmother has both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and she finds it difficult to lift and hold a cup of tea. We look for cups with large handles, where there is enough space to fit her swollen fingers. This is why, the Muggi Cup Holder is one of the ultimate kitchen hacks for arthritic hands this Christmas.

With its 4 rubber non-slip feet, smooth feel thumb grips for easy carrying and it can hold up to 4 cups of tea/coffee. Of course it’s not just tea/coffee. My Gran uses it to hold her pills, bottle of water, her phone and even some biscuits.

NAQI Warming Stick

When athletes hurt themselves on the field, there is the freeze or heat spray. Even the ‘magic sponge’ as Father Ted would say. This way the pain is instantly cooled or heated and gives them relief. The same theory can be applied for arthritis.
