For those who are living with an inflammatory disease like arthritis, they know all too well how badly the weather can affect them. It was Dr. Elinor Mody of Boston Hospital who put it best ”The fluid in your joints is like the oil in your car. It doesn’t move as well in cold weather.”
It is because of this that we have gathered together 5 of the best arthritis life hacks that can help make your life easier this Christmas.

The Uccello Grip Mat is here to make opening lids and jars a breeze this Christmas. Whether its the cranberry sauce or the jam for cakes a treats. The is no pain and all gain with the Uccello Grip Mat.
Another great way to use the grip mat is to help you secure items in place. If you where to bring your tea and cake in on a tray, the grip will ensure that there are no spills.
Don’t forget it can also be the perfect non-slip cup guide that you can use with the Uccello Kettle.
Compression Gloves
It’s a cold time of year so compression gloves can do far more than keep you warm. When the icy winds and falling temperature trigger pain and inflammation in your joints, compression gloves can help:

They work by lightly squeezing the veins in your hands to help with circulation and preventing inflammation. This should help you in the kitchen this Christmas when peeling vegetables, opening gifts or simply enjoying a cuppa.
