Indications About Your Joint Health Will Be Available Early In Life.

By Morgen Jayasinghe





It would be wrong on your part to believe that you would have to wait until you grow older before you become prone to problems of the joints or for that matter, arthritis.



According to the Arthritis Foundation, over 1.3 million people suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, while another 27 million experience the pain associated with osteoarthritis. And everyone from fitness buffs to weekend warriors to professional athletes can attest to the toll that sports can take on joint health.



Our knees are especially vulnerable to injury. If done to excess, running and other kinds of exercise can easily lead to kneecap pain or to pain where the quadriceps connects to the kneecap. Injuries to the cartilage and ligaments on the outside of the knee are common, as are muscular sprains and strains.



Joint pain or arthritis does not develop overnight, and it takes years before your joints deteriorate and leave you with soreness and stiffness. However, the indications will have been provided to you from an early age which you would have ignored. Being overweight and not giving your body the essential nutrient's is one reason for deteriorating joints, which is often ignored. Age is definitely a factor but is not the only factor which contributes to deteriorating health of the joints. However, this is a surefire indicator that your body is prone to such problems at some time in the future.



Exercising is also very important for both bone and joint health. Some exercises that you could do include: walking, biking, aerobics, and weight-lifting. Doing weight bearing exercises helps the bones to become stronger, builds up muscles, and helps with balance which may help reduce falls and fractures.



You must understand that the health of your joints depends on the diet you have along with the kind of routine you indulge in every day. If you are subjecting your joints to strenuous activity or living in climates that are harsh you are likely to damage the health of your joints faster. In such cases, you will be required to bring in changes to your lifestyle, which will also include your diet.



Do not ever believe that the food you have is capable of providing you with the fatty acids which are essential to keep your joints healthy. In most cases, it has been noticed that people have a diet which does not help joint health at all. If you have been indulging in the wrong type of diets, you will do well to make changes immediately in order to keep your joints in good health.



So the next time you wake up and get out of bed and your body starts aching and you just want to go back to sleep, remember it may be better for you to keep moving. If we don't use our joints and muscles we may lose them.



So it is very important to keep exercising daily and eating right to take care of your bones and joints so we can keep moving for as long as we can and be healthy and happy.
