Hips and Knees
As we get older we start to notice those little twinges in body parts that we never even thought of before. For those that have done repetitive work, heaving lifting or standing for long periods on jobs over the years, joints like shoulders, neck, hips and knees suddenly start aching and causing much discomfort.. today I am focusing on hips and knees.
How many older people simply fall down and break a hip or have serious issues with arthritis in their knees etc. Diet and Exercise is the best way to keep the muscles and bones strong. A good healthy diet plays a huge role as well in maintaining strong bones as we get older.
Now I am not saying that nutrition and exercise is a cure , but it will improve how you look and feel, give you better mobility and reduce pain. If you do have issues with your hips and knees, consult a health professional before starting any program to make sure your pain isn't a medical issue that needs attention.
