The Importance of Joint Health

Senior citizens need to be more proactive about their joint health regardless of whether or not they display symptoms of osteoarthritis or other bone diseases that come with age and cause joint damage.

Use Padding

Even minor falls can sometimes lead to unexpected joint damage. Wear a bit of protective gear over highly susceptible joints in your knees and elbows when you are undertaking any outdoor activity or are exercising to avoid bruises.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Since your joints are weight-bearing, excess weight can place additional strain on the joints in your spine, knees and hips. If your weight is a major concern to you, ask your doctor for the safest and most effective ways to lose weight.

Try Low-Impact Exercises

As you grow older, it is recommended that you switch from high-impact activities (such as running or lifting weights) to low impact activities (such as swimming, walking, bicycling or yoga).

Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods

If you have osteoarthritis or other joint pain, it means you are experiencing an elevated amount of inflammation throughout the joints. In addition to taking supplements, you may also want to add anti-inflammatory foods to your diet. Foods like fish, fruits, and nuts are all known to help reduce inflammation throughout the body. In addition, haldi (turmeric) is very beneficial in dealing with inflammation.

Maintain Proper Posture

Many of us struggle with hunched postures that can put a lot of stress on the spinal and cervical joints. Maintaining a proper posture can alleviate some of this physical stress and keep your joints healthy.

Stay Active

Staying active helps to increase strength and flexibility in the joints as well as the muscles that surround them. Physical activity encourages circulation of the synovial fluid which allows for smoother joint functioning.
