Maintaining joint health is essential for staying active and independent as we age. Dr. Nishant Gandhi recommends simple, effective practices to protect your joints and reduce the risk of injuries. Regular low-impact exercise, such as swimming or walking, strengthens muscles around the joints, providing support and reducing strain.
Maintaining a healthy weight is equally important, as excess weight places additional stress on weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips. Additionally, practicing good posture, avoiding repetitive motions, and stretching regularly can prevent joint pain and stiffness.
By incorporating these habits into your lifestyle, you can preserve your joint health and enjoy a more active, fulfilling life. For personalized advice on joint health, schedule a consultation with Dr. Gandhi.
