Here are some steps to take care of your knee joints during the changing seasons of autumn and winter: "Both inside and outside" to keep out the wind and cold
Kelin Group has been established in Taiwan for nearly 40 years. It not only focuses on the professional fields of ophthalmology and otology, but also continues to expand its service scope. It officially established the "Kelijian" brand last year, looking forward to meeting the all-round health needs of the Chinese people.
The temperature has turned significantly cooler recently, and Taiwan has also entered the transition season between autumn and winter. The temperature difference between day and night is large. Kelijian has observed that the search for the keyword "knee care" has increased significantly by 5 times in the past week. Dr. Guo Rongan, an authority in orthopedics, said: "In addition to the need for Paying attention to the external cold protection of knee joints, dietary supplements are equally important. Appropriate supplements of collagen-rich foods and soups can improve protection from the inside out."
Silver-haired people generally pay special attention to the maintenance of knee joints, and will also improve their muscle strength through exercise, including mountain climbing, jogging, playing tennis, etc. For people with degenerative arthritis, Dr. Guo Rongan recommends minimizing weight-bearing and avoiding strenuous exercise. Start training with slow walking on flat ground, and then advance to power walking and light jogging. Do not increase the wear and tear of knee joint cartilage in order to increase the amount of exercise, which will injure your knees even more.
Dr. Guo Rongan emphasized: “As the weather gets colder, it is important to exercise moderately to promote blood circulation. It will also help strengthen knee joints and cartilage. In addition to exercise and dietary supplements, it is recommended to use UC-II (non-denatured type II collagen) and olive oil. Healthy foods with fruit extracts are also a good choice.”
According to Dr. Guo’s observation, in recent years, people suffering from knee joints have a clear trend of becoming younger. On the one hand, the popularity of marathons and various sports, and on the other hand, long-term standing or sedentary work patterns have made knee joints under the age of 30 more popular. The number of people with joint problems is gradually increasing, and the proportion of young people in clinics has increased from single digits to about 25%, which means that 1 in 4 patients is under the age of 30. If sub-healthy groups are included, The actual proportion will only be higher.
Dr. Guo calls on not only the elders to pay attention to knee joint problems, but also to exercise moderately from young to middle age, strengthen core muscle training, and gradually increase exercise intensity. At the same time, pay attention to the warmth and maintenance of joints, and supplement nutrients when necessary. It is a long-term solution to strengthen the knee joint and enable it to be used flexibly.
