Joints are located where two bones meet and their responsibility is primarily to support skeletal flexibility. And there are different types of joints with different functions in the body. These joints are very important, so below are certain things you are doing that might be harmful for your them, which you should stop:
1. Smoking
When you stop smoking, it will go a long way in helping you prevent arthritis which is the inflammation of the joints. A study has proven that smoking contributes quite a lot to rheumatoid arthritis so just quit smoking.
2. Drinking too much alcohol
Too much of alcohol is not good generally for anyone’s health, and this is especially true for those on medication. Also,drinking too much alcohol can be harmful to your joints, and may reduce bone density.
3. Overeating
Overeating leads to being overweight, and carrying around excess weight stresses your joints which can lead to
aching from rheumatoid arthritis. Being overweight increases the risk of inflammation of the joints. Your joints will be healthy if you maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet.
4. Running
You might be wondering how possible it is for running to be harmful to your joints. Well the answer is simple. There’s never been a study to show that running on its own generates arthritis or cause any damage to your joints. But the truth is that if you already have any damage to your joints especially the knee, running worsens it. So if you already have an injury, you need a good specialist to help you so you don’t just run anyhow and cause more damage to your joints.
5. Getting stressed
Letting stress get to you is totally bad for your joints, as stress can cause inflation of the joints. Learn how to manage stress every day. You don’t need a complicated approach. Just make it simple and fun.
