Myth: Can cold weather cause osteoarthritis?
Truth: Not directly related. In the cold season, the temperature fluctuates greatly, many people begin to have joint pain, and the saying that "cold weather can cause osteoarthritis" has been widely spread. In fact, the direct cause of arthritis is not low temperature, but mainly joint damage caused by exercise and trauma, joint cartilage aging, immune dysfunction, etc. To prevent osteoarthritis, you should try to avoid leaving the joints in the same position for a long time, such as long-term kneeling legs, sitting for a long time, etc. Pay attention to moderate exercise, and make sufficient warm-up preparations before exercise. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain a reasonable diet, control weight, and pay attention to joint warmth. (Source: CCTV News Client)
