Navigating life with MS ... Diet, Exercise and Healthy Behaviors

For a person living with MS, physical wellness involves much more than disease and symptom management. Research shows that a healthy diet, exercise, not smoking, ongoing preventive care and management of other medical conditions not only contribute to overall health but can also impact a person’s MS progression and lifespan.

MS management is an essential component of optimal physical wellness. Managing MS includes:

• modifying the disease course,
• treating relapses (also called exacerbations or attacks),
• managing symptoms and
• ongoing rehabilitation to promote functional mobility, safety, independence and participation at home, at work and in the community.
