The etiology of degenerative arthritis is not yet clear, but many of them will lead to bone and joint inflammation. After 50, orthopedic surgeons gave clear suggestions to prevent degenerative arthritis.

After the age of 50, degenerative arthritis is high. How to prevent it? Orthopedic doctors give advice and find out.

First: control your weight. After 50 years old, various organs of the body have gradually aged, and the metabolism of the body will slow down. At this time, the body is easy to get fat, especially the elderly who like to eat high-fat food. If the body's fat can't be metabolized, it will accumulate in people's body, which is not only not conducive to weight control, but also leads to increased blood viscosity, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, and induces more cardiovascular diseases. The damage to joints is also very serious. Knees support the whole weight of the body. At this time, weight gain will lead to knee pain and aggravate knee injury.

Second: avoid standing for a long time. The way of keeping in good health often reminds everyone not to sit when you can stand. Standing often is good for the body, especially after meals, which can improve the peristalsis of the stomach, accelerate the digestion and absorption of food and make the body metabolize better. But standing for a long time, the joint injury of the body is more serious, whether it is the waist or spine or the knee, it is easy to have backache. After standing for 40 minutes, it is best to sit down and have a rest to relieve the pressure around the bones.

The third point: avoid excessive load. People often see old people carrying heavy things in the street. After the age of 50, the body's ability to bear weight is relatively low. If you often carry heavy objects, it will do great harm to your joints. The bones of the elderly are relatively fragile, and the bone density will also decrease, which is prone to osteoporosis. The best way is to use more retractable trolleys with wheels to carry some heavy objects.

In addition to the above daily needs, you can also develop some good habits, which have many benefits for relieving serious bone joints.

Improve the amount of physical exercise, improve the flexibility of all joints of the body through exercise, and avoid joint stiffness. In particular, some stretching exercises, such as keeping your hands up, keeping your body level and raising your hands 30 times a day, can relieve the pain in your spine and shoulders. Kicking exercise, the legs are constantly raised in rotation, and the body is balanced, which improves the strength of leg muscles to a certain extent and makes the blood circulation of the legs better.

Keep warm at the knee joint. After the age of 50, people's metabolism declines, and their bodies are prone to catch cold. Keeping warm in time can improve the body's ability to keep out the cold. Many people ignore the warmth of joints while keeping warm. You can prepare more knee pads and wear them when riding a bike, which can avoid the stimulation of cold air on the knee joint and is also very beneficial to relieve the pain at the knee joint.

A glass of milk every day and a glass of warm milk before going to bed can not only improve the quality of sleep, but also make you feel happy, which is also good for calcium supplementation. The aging degree of joints has a great relationship with calcium deficiency, especially after 50 years old, the loss of calcium in the body is relatively large, and calcium deficiency often occurs. A glass of milk a day can improve bone growth and delay aging.

Orthopedics doctors remind everyone that the health and quality of life of joints after the age of 50 are directly linked. If you don't want to get degenerative arthritis, you'd better listen to the advice of orthopedic surgeons and do less or no activities that damage joints. At the same time, we should also develop good behavior habits to make our bones healthier.
