"Our bodies have the power to adapt and change and get better at things that were previously difficult. For those of us who live with chronic pain, exhaustion, fatigue, and illness, this should bring hope. Even little movements that once seemed difficult can become easier with practice. Here, the idea that 'practice makes perfect' is true." 1. Move often. The more movement you do, the less likely you are to get stiff and uncomfortable. Consistent movement over time is critical to adaptation, with rest days factored in.
2. Move in a variety of ways. The more varied your movement is, the more capable you will be at many things. Your body will get strong in a multitude of ways.
3. Keep practicing. As the saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it. So keep practicing.
The process of adaptation is not quick. It takes patience and persistence. But it can be done.

Whether you, a friend, or a loved one is living with an autoimmune disease, this list will help you stay comfortable and enjoy the summertime.
The name of the game when getting ready for vacations or other adventures is: planning, planning, planning!
1) While you’re printing out your itinerary, make sure to print out paper copies of your medical information to keep in your wallet, just in case.
2) Excited about exploring a new city or country on vacation? Plan activities for good and bad pain days. That way, you can anticipate a fun time even when you aren’t feeling your best.
3) Do you have type 1 diabetes and anticipate big summer schedule changes in your daily routine? Plan to monitor how different levels of activity affect your blood glucose. For all those fun summer activities like challenging hikes or a day in the pool, make sure to pack enough snacks.
4) When booking hotels or Airbnbs, make sure to look up locations of the nearest emergency rooms, urgent care centers and hospitals.

Chronic illness? Exercise? You can do it! Get out there. Push forward. Listen to your body. Be consistent. We're cheering you on. "Autoimmune diseases really throw the body for a loop. You’re attacking your own tissues. Your inflammation is sky high. What’s usually good for you—like boosting the immune system—can make it worse. You’ll often restrict eating certain foods that, on paper, appear healthy and nutrient-dense. You take nothing for granted, measure and consider everything before eating or doing it. Sometimes it feels like almost everything has the potential to be a trigger.
Is it true for exercise, too? Must people with autoimmune diseases also change how they train?
First things first, exercise can help. You just have to do it right, or risk incurring the negative effects.
Don’t overtrain. Most autoimmune diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation. Anything that increases that inflammatory load, like too much exercise, will contribute. Overtraining—stressful exercise that you fail to recover from before exercising again—will increase your stress load and increase autoimmune symptoms." Read more at http://ow.ly/usCf50rB0Cb .
