Maintaining your joint and muscle health is a lifelong endeavor. The sooner you start, the better condition your joints will be in as you get older.
Here are tips for maintaining healthy joints and muscles.
In the USA alone, 23% of adults suffer from some form of arthritis.
The number one piece of advice when it comes to joint health is to get your body moving! The less you move, the less the synovial fluid in your joints is activated. This causes stiffness and inhibits your ability for movement.
One of the main reasons so many of us develop joint issues as we age is our sedentary lifestyle. Moving regularly can also help to strengthen the muscles around your joints which will keep your joint health optimal.
Take the recommended 150 minutes of exercise each week. You'll not only feel mentally better, but your joints will thank you too.
Many of us have weak joints because the muscles, tendons, and ligaments connecting them are also weak. If you want to support your joints, you need to look after your muscle's health too.
Strength training exercises can help you build muscle as well as improve your joints' stability. This reduces your chances of getting injured. For example, if you strengthen your glutes, you're much less likely to get a knee injury as your glutes will take the burden of weight off your knees.
Try weight training twice a week; you can also try bodyweight exercises, yoga or pilates. Here are some ideas for exercises you can do at home. Remember to always stretch after exercise to reduce your risk of injury.
What you eat will also have an impact on your joint health. Healthy living involves eating a diet full of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
To protect the health of your joints, try incorporating some anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. This can be herbs and spices such as cinnamon and turmeric, as well as an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Try to keep inflammation-provoking foods such as meat and dairy to a minimum.
Vitamin D and calcium are also important to maintain the health of your bones and joints. As we age, our ability to absorb vitamin D from the sun decreases. This vitamin is integral for the health of our bones.
If you aren't sure where to get vitamin D and calcium, take a supplement. You can also buy many foods such as milk and cereals, which are fortified with both. You can also try specific joint and muscle supplements. Talk with your doctor about the best supplements for you.
Another way to ensure you have healthy joints is to make sure you maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight can put pressure on your joints and cause inflammation which results in pain.
The best way to ensure joint and muscle health is to build healthy habits and a lifestyle that supports your health goals.
Simple, healthy lifestyle choices will help prevent problems with your joints and muscles as you age. This can help reduce your chance of arthritis and ensure movement stays easy.
Here's how to get started with healthy habits.
