Hi,
Dr. Jeremy here from nooro.
If you're over 60 and experiencing joint discomfort, it's important to know how to manage it effectively.
That's why today I wanted to share something helpful…
Here are some important DOs and DON'Ts to keep in mind:
DOs:
✅ Stay Active: Regular, low-impact exercise like swimming, walking, or tai chi can help maintain joint flexibility and strengthen supporting muscles.
✅ Maintain a Healthy Weight: Extra pounds put additional stress on weight-bearing joints. Even a small amount of weight loss can significantly reduce joint pain.
✅ Apply Heat and Cold: Use heat for stiff joints and cold for acute pain and swelling. This can provide quick relief and improve mobility.
✅ Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish, nuts, and seeds, which can help reduce inflammation in the body.
✅ Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration helps maintain the synovial fluid that lubricates your joints, reducing friction and pain.
DON'Ts:
❌ Don't Ignore the Pain: Persistent joint pain could be a sign of a more serious condition. Consult with your healthcare provider if pain persists or worsens.
❌ Avoid Overexertion: While staying active is important, pushing your joints too hard can cause more harm than good. Listen to your body and rest when needed.
❌ Don't Rely Solely on Medication: While pain relievers can be helpful, they shouldn't be your only strategy. Combine them with lifestyle changes for better long-term management.
❌ Avoid Staying in One Position for Too Long: Prolonged sitting or standing can increase joint stiffness. Make sure to change positions and move around regularly.
❌ Don't Smoke: Smoking can increase inflammation in the body and slow down the healing process. If you smoke, consider quitting or seeking help to do so.
Everyone's experience with joint pain is unique…
These guidelines are general advice, but it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
Stay tuned for more health tips!
Dr. Jeremy
