Toward Remedies For Your Ache Joints -- Post 2
In our last post we revealed the cause of much pain in your joints after you are over 40 may be Osteoarthritis. In this post we will dig deeper into what is Osteoarthritis.
An Overview of factors contributing to Osteoarthritis --
Research has shown that obesity is one of the contributing factors for OA. Thus, weight loss is one of the recommended remedies for joint ache relief.
Even a loss of 5 to 10 pounds of body weight can significantly reduce the pressure on the lower joints of your body (hips, knees and ankles). Another preventive step you can take (after conferring with your doctor or health professional) is to -- remain active.
Joint surfaces tend to show more wear and tear with age. Also, the body does produce adequate amounts of lubrication fluids for the joints as you grow older. This is where exercise proves fruitful.
Any movement helps in the delivery of vital minerals to a joint. Also, you can better lubricate a joint if you keep it warm by moving it.
An exercise routine for seniors is very necessary to keep the joints nimble. Again, always check with your physician first before starting with physical exercise.
The best warm up routine for maturing persons is one which involves gentle stretching. We should usually look towards low impact activities like brisk walking, swimming etc.
In our next post we will conclude with a look at topical creams and supplements which may help you with your struggles with joint pain.
