The doctor listed the habits that destroy joints

Andrey Kuznetsov, a physiotherapist at the Medical and Rehabilitation Center of the Russian Ministry of Health, spoke about bad habits and the prevention of joint problems after the age of 40. In an interview with the Health Mail on February 10, the specialist noted that excess weight remains the main enemy of joints: every additional kilogram increases the load, especially on the legs.

No less dangerous are inactivity and prolonged sitting — the joints "feed" during movement, and in its absence, the condition of the cartilage worsens and the muscles weaken. At the same time, excessive passion for sports without proper technique, as well as household overloads, can also cause harm.

The specialist emphasized that pain, crunching and morning stiffness should not be ignored — this is a reason to consult a doctor. An unbalanced diet, dehydration and improperly chosen shoes also negatively affect joints.

As a preventive measure, he recommends moderate physical activity without pain — swimming, Nordic walking, cycling, Pilates, muscle strengthening exercises and stretching. Weight control, adequate water intake, nutrition with sufficient amounts of protein and omega-3, and timely referral to specialists at the first symptoms are also important.

On February 11, Daria Kusevich, a rheumatologist, warned in an interview with Moscow 24 that a sedentary lifestyle could lead to joint destruction. The lack of movement during sedentary work reduces muscle tone, which increases the load on bones and joints, and the deterioration of blood circulation slows down the restoration of cartilage tissue, notes 360.ru .

On February 5, an orthopedic surgeon at the UChicago Medicine clinic, Aravind Siraham, explained the pain in his joints in the cold. According to him, it occurs due to increased blood pressure.

In October, fitness expert Daria Kozhevnikova, in an interview with NSN, recalled that the human body is designed for active physical activity and ridiculed doctors' warnings about the dangers of 10 thousand steps per day.
