How To Avoid Leg And Knee Pain?
By: Ejaz Alam | Topic: Health & Fitness
Knees are considered as an
important joint because they carry our body weight on them. Leg
muscles are attached with the bones by tendons and ligaments. By
falling, twisting or over extending our knees easily get
sprained. Knee injuries get very painful specially in winters.
To avoid this you may like to take following remedial measures:
1. Reduce your weight (if you are over weight). As excessive
body weight put more pressure on your leg joints.
2. High heels particularly pencil heel are more risky for
twisting your ankle and knees. So opt for plain or supportive
heels.
3. Running downhill puts all the pressure on your knee joints.
Be careful and avoid such situations. If running is must the run
slowly.
4. Reduce the use of sodium (salt) in your diet.
5. Exercise regularly. This will keep your joints well toned up
and you will be less prone to injuries.
6. Avoid repeated, jarring motions on hand and rough surfaces.
7. Deep knee bends should be avoided. However if you need then
warm up before going for the exercise.
8. If need be use a cane to take weight of the painful knee.
