Hearing rattling noises when walking and having difficulty straightening joints, beware that degenerative arthritis has come to your door. Wei Shihang, a practicing family medicine specialist, observed in the outpatient clinic that degenerative arthritis is no longer a patent for the elderly. He once admitted a patient who was only 40 years old. Osteoarthritis symptoms appear, and the obese group is a high-risk group.
Wei Shihang pointed out that the three main reasons for the rejuvenation of osteoarthritis, the most common are obesity, improper use of joints, resulting in cartilage damage, and insufficient exercise, resulting in weakened joint strength; especially, overweight people suffer from osteoarthritis The risk of disease and disease is 20 times higher than that of normal weight people.
Wei Shihang explained that obese people have higher insulin concentration in their bodies. Elevated insulin will reduce the sugar metabolism and mitochondrial function of chondrocytes, and reduce the repair ability of chondrocytes. At the same time, obese people have higher inflammatory factors in their bodies. Promote the destruction of chondrocytes, thus triggering arthritis.
Once Osteoarthritis occurs, how to remedy it? Wei Shihang suggested that starting with the four strategies of weight management, diet control, moderate exercise, and nutritional supplements is an effective way to reduce insulin resistance and inflammatory reactions, and helps to mildly and effectively improve degenerative arthritis.
Wei Shihang emphasized that moderate exercise can improve degenerative arthritis and relieve pain, but it should be noted that it is necessary to choose exercise methods with low impact on joints; and the types of exercise should be diversified, aerobic exercise and weight training No, aerobic exercise can reduce insulin resistance, while strengthening the quadriceps can protect the joints and reduce stress on the knees.
As for the supplement of nutrients, the doctor pointed out that chondroitin, turmeric, quercetin, ginger, vitamin C, and vitamin D are all related nutrients, and you can discuss it with your doctor according to your own situation.
