Tips for improving joint wellbeing

Some tips to improve joint wellness.

Correct posture: Maintain good posture to protect joints and reduce joint stress. Poor posture can increase pain and lead to fatigue.

Loads: Avoid stress on your joints. If you have to carry loads, even if they are not very heavy, always try to distribute the weight of the load between several joints.

Change of position: change position regularly. Staying in the same position for a long time increases pain and stiffness. Particularly suitable for people with office work, who may spend a long time in one position.

Heat and cold: take a hot water bath to reduce joint stiffness, and apply cold when you want to reduce inflammation.

Rest: It is very important to find a balance between work and rest. Avoid repetitive movements, prolonged standing, strenuous activities, etc.

Weight control: watch your weight, try to stay within the recommended weight for your body mass index (BMI). Being overweight adds strain and stress to your joints.

Exercise: Exercise regularly but in moderation. Exercise can help reduce joint stiffness and discomfort by helping to maintain strong muscles, joint flexibility, bone health and overall fitness.
