Lifestyle changes can help stave off arthritis, surgery, doctor says
SATURDAY, Aug. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Protecting your knees when you're
younger may help prevent serious problems such as arthritis and the need
for knee replacement when you're older, an expert advises.
Research indicates that nearly half of adults develop arthritis in at
least one knee by age 85, and the risk is even greater for obese people.
Extra pounds increase the strain on knee joints, noted Dr. William J.
Bryan, an orthopedic surgeon at the Methodist Center for Sports Medicine
in Houston.
"Every time you take a step you apply three times your body weight to the
knee. When you run it's five times, when you jump it's seven times. If you
are experiencing frequent knee pain, lifestyle changes might be in order,"
Bryan said in a news release from the Methodist Center for Sports
Medicine.
Weight loss is 70 percent diet and 30 percent exercise, he explained. "If
you think you can eat the same and exercise the pounds away, you are
mistaken. You have to change your attitude about the refrigerator for
weight loss to happen," he said.
In terms of exercise, low-impact activities such as swimming and cycling
are better for your knees than high-impact workouts such as running or
aerobics. Having good core strength (abs, back and pelvis) also helps
protect your knees, Bryan noted.
