The onset of arthritis is trending younger, often causing pain at the site of onset and limiting joint function, which in severe cases can affect basic daily life such as walking and walking up and down stairs. With modern lifestyle changes, some studies have found that joint degeneration begins to occur around the age of 30, so caring for your joints should start young. What habits in our daily lives can make arthritis “catch up” with us early? 1. Obesity. Obesity increases the load on the joints and accelerates the wear and tear of the cartilage. 2. Heavy laborers. Frequent use of the joints is likely to cause repeated wear and tear on the cartilage. 3, sedentary people. Sedentary will increase the pressure on the patellofemoral joint, is a major cause of early degeneration of the knee joint. 4, trauma. Knee cruciate ligament and meniscal injuries can change the force on the joint and induce the early onset of osteoarthritis. 5, cold. Cold does not directly cause arthritis, but it can lead to increased symptoms of arthritis and soreness and discomfort. 6. Wearing high heels. Wearing high heels will not only increase the occurrence of ankle osteoarthritis, but also increase the risk of knee injuries and spinal degeneration. 7, hormone use and alcohol abuse. Hormones and alcohol are the causative factors of femoral head necrosis. After the femoral head collapses, it often causes arthritis due to the wear and tear of the joint cartilage. The joints in which osteoarthritis occurs are mainly the knee, hip and ankle joints. For hip osteoarthritis, it is recommended to do some non-strenuous exercises, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. Swinging your body with your legs crossed and kicking your legs back is also suitable for hip joint protection. For osteoarthritis of the knee, the most important thing is to control the movements of going up and down stairs, squatting and climbing. Also practice the strength of the quadriceps to increase the stability of the knee joint. For ankle joint, usually wear less flat shoes, but the height of the heel should not exceed 4cm. when doing sports, do ankle joint activities to warm up to avoid injury.
