Yesterday received a lot of fan comments, want to know how to maintain the knee, this is not, immediately "pet powder", this maintenance secret please put away ~
There are 2 aspects of protecting the knee, one is to enhance the function of the knee, and the other is to reduce the damage to the knee.
First, enhance the function of the knee.
To enhance the function of the knee, it is mainly necessary to enhance the stability of the knee joint and the strength of the muscles around the knee joint. As long as the knee joint is protected enough, the chance of joint injury will be relatively small. The stronger and more stable the muscles around the joints, the less impact the entire joint will be.
So what are the functional exercises to enhance the knee?
For young people under 30 years old, there are no excessive restrictions, just choose a sport that suits you, or you can do more non-weight-bearing exercises to strengthen your muscles. However, for middle-aged and elderly people, the joints have been degenerated to a certain extent, and it is recommended to choose exercises with less joint load, such as swimming, walking, etc. are suitable.
Second, reduce knee injuries.
1. Choose the right exercise.
The trauma suffered under the improper load of the knee joint has a very large impact on the joint, such as the basic impact force of 1 times when we stand on a flat road, the walk can reach 1.5 times to 2 times the impact force, running can reach 3 to 4 times, playing basketball, football or weight-bearing squat sports, such strenuous exercise can reach 7 to 8 times, and climbing mountains can also reach this level.
For young people, twenty or thirty years old to do these sports may not be a big problem, but after the age of 30, 40 years old, and then do these exercises, the joint cartilage meniscus, has degenerated, hardness increases, elasticity decreases, protective ability is significantly reduced, then do these sports is more likely to be injured.
2, when exercising, you must make these two preparations - buy a good pair of shoes and wear knee pads.
Buying a good pair of shoes is also very necessary, good sneakers, so that the load generated during the exercise process is fully absorbed and buffered off, the impact on our knee joint will be greatly reduced.
In addition, it is necessary to use knee pads reasonably, but many people with knee pads are resistant, thinking that it is not necessary to use knee pads for a little injury and pain, in fact, it is not right, in fact, the more small injuries and small pain, the greater the effect of knee pads. Knee pads can allow small osteoarthritis or small traumatic diseases to be controlled as early as possible in a very small stage and no longer develop into a very serious disease state.
3. Control weight.
Normal people have two knees, people walk upright, and the knee joints are under great pressure. If a person grows very fat, then his knees are prone to problems.
4. Pay attention to keep your knees warm.
Due to the lack of rich muscle and fat tissue protection, the knee joint itself is easily lost in local heat, and the temperature is lower than other parts. For damaged knees, staying away from the wet and cold environment and paying attention to the insulation of the knees is the best protection for the knees.
Finally, if the knee joint has a certain degree of damage, you must find a doctor in time to confirm the treatment and control the disease earlier.
Does ammonia sugar supplement protect joints?
When it comes to protecting the knees, patients often ask me in the outpatient clinic, is it useful to eat glucosamine ("ammonia sugar") for short? Then I will respond in unison.
Ammonia sugar is a kind of health care product that many people love to eat, many hospitals have it, pharmacies also have it, glucosamine is used to protect joints, some people say that it is effective after eating, and many people say that it is ineffective after eating, and effective and ineffective may be half to half. If a drug has only a half-to-half chance, it is necessary to consider whether the drug is effective or not.
So can you eat it? It can be eaten, it does not have very serious side effects, but as for whether it is effective or not, it is not good.
You can only try to observe whether there is an effect on your own, generally you have to insist on eating for two months to three months for a long time, and you can see the effect. Some patients say, "I eat for a week, and the joints don't hurt," but this is not the effect of the drug. Itself ammonia sugar is not any analgesic effect, and its role in protecting and nourishing cartilage will not be reflected in a week or two, and it must be taken for a long time before it comes out, and many times it is a placebo effect.
Therefore, whether supplementing ammonia sugar protects the joints and has individual differences, only after long-term adherence, I will observe whether it is effective in the end. At present, in the process of clinical observation, some people are effective and some people are not effective, and the efficiency is not very high.
