There are many different joint problems, but they share the same mechanism. To describe it more precisely, we will focus on inflammation and cartilage loss, which are associated with arthritis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis (or rheumatoid arthritis)<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is actually a very common problem that we will focus on, but many of these tips apply to other joint problems.<\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage, which causes the bones to touch each other over time. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This results in pain, exacerbated by the formation of abnormal calcifications in the bone marrow.<\/p>\n

1. Lose weight<\/span><\/h2>\n

Weighing more pounds puts greater pressure on the joints. Weight loss reduces the risk of arthritis by 50%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obesity increases the risk of arthritis in the knee.<\/p>\n

The high risk comes not only from obesity, but also from inflammation.<\/p>\n

Obesity increases chronic inflammation<\/strong>, and this inflammation damages the cartilage, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis in all the joints.<\/p>\n

In other words, arthritis is not only a mechanical problem, but also a biochemical problem.<\/p>\n

2. Exercise<\/span><\/h2>\n

What you do not use becomes atrophied, and that includes your joints.<\/p>\n

Physical activity is associated with greater cartilage tone, not less. Movement strengthens the nerves and bones, preventing joint damage.<\/p>\n
