You can't stop ageing but you can reduce the physical problems that are related to ageing. One of the most common issues that are related to ageing is Joint Pain. The joints are the connections between the two bones. Smooth tissues called cartilages are present in between the joints to prevent friction and enable easy movement. With age, these cartilages start wearing off resulting in friction and joint damage. This is when you experience joint pain. Also, people with excessive weight are more prone to joint pain since too much pressure is created on the joints.
Though ageing can't be stopped, by following a few things you can achieve stronger joints.
Simple habits to build stronger joints
Here are some simple ways to build resilient joint and age proof them:
Humans are built to move. The more you keep yourself active, the more you strengthen your body. Similarly walking compresses & decompresses the ankle and the knee joint. Walking also provides nutrients to your joints and keeps it elastic. So next time you are in a 5 storeyed building, try to take the climb the stairs and avoid the lift.
- Have more of Vitamin C and Collagen Protein
Try to have more of collagen protein and Vitamin C through your meals. Both of these are necessary for the body to build stronger joints.
In younger people, joint pain mostly occurs due to excessive weight gain. The excessive weight that is put on the joint wears off the cartilages that prevent friction. As a result, your bone joint starts getting damaged and you experience extreme pain. So through diet or exercise, you need to lose that excess weight.
There are several joint exercises that enable regular blood flow and increase the elasticity of the joint. Consult your doctor and get to know which exercises will be right for you. Also, try to wear supportive shoes while running or doing exercise.
