Joints, as important parts of our body, are essential for our mobility and daily life. As we age, so do our joint problems. Especially middle-aged and elderly people, they are most afraid of bad joints. So how to protect your joints and avoid being targeted by arthropathy?Here are 5 ways to help you protect your joints.
Calcium is the main component of articular cartilage, and proper calcium supplementation can help protect joints. Spending 20-30 minutes in the sun every day can help the body absorb calcium better. Calcium-rich foods such as milk, soy products, etc. can also be appropriately added to the diet.
Choosing the right pair of shoes is essential to protect your joints. Shoes that are too hard or too soft can put stress on the joints. Choosing a pair of shoes with a moderately soft and hard shoe and a bouncy sole can reduce the pressure on the knee joint. At the same time, the size of the shoes should be appropriate and avoid being too large or too small.
Proper exercise can strengthen the muscles around the joints and improve the stability of the joints. But when exercising, avoid excessive exercise and strenuous exercise to avoid damage to the joints. It is recommended to do some low-intensity exercises such as walking, tai chi, etc.
Excessive weight increases the burden on the joints and accelerates the wear and tear of the joints. Weight control is very important to protect your joints. In the diet, we should pay attention to less oil and less salt, and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetables and fruits. Exercise appropriately to maintain good health.
Injuries are one of the significant causes of joint problems. Care should be taken in daily life to avoid injury. Avoid high-risk sports and activities, such as climbing, jumping, etc. Pay attention to travel safely, obey traffic rules, and avoid traffic accidents.
These are the 5 ways to take care of your joints. Of course, in addition to these methods, we also need to pay attention to the following:
1.Eat more foods that can fight inflammation, such as deep-sea fish, nuts, etc.
2.Avoid foods that are high in fat and sugar, which can worsen inflammation in your joints.
3.Drinking plenty of water can help the body flush out metabolic waste and reduce the burden on your joints.
4.Getting enough sleep can help your body recover and reduce fatigue on your joints.
5.Avoid staying in the same position for long periods of time, such as sitting and standing for long periods of time.
