Move MORE to cut knee pain 40%?
When you’ve got arthritis… especially in your knees… once easy movements are a DOWNRIGHT struggle.
Getting up out of a chair… in and out of a car… and let’s not even talk about steps.
What’s your first instinct to find relief?
Quit moving around! And take it easy for the day, right?
On the surface it seems like the sensible answer. But recent research says that doing LESS can potentially lead to MORE damage and MORE pain.
And that moving MORE could actually reduce your arthritis pain by A LOT!
Here’s how…
A recent study confirms that, when it comes to arthritis of the knees, walking MORE could make the pain vanish.
In fact, the study found that frequent knee pain plummeted nearly 40% in folks that walked on a daily basis.
I like walking. I make it a goal to get out and hit the pavement every day. It’s one of the best, low-impact forms of exercise out there.
Walking has many other benefits too – getting outside can help you get necessary vitamin D and there’s really nothing quite like breathing in fresh, crisp air.
I encourage you to get in your steps to help offset the pain of aching knees (and a pair of good walking shoes).
I also encourage you to combine your steps with a natural remedy like olive leaf extract– whichSwiss researchers found could help older folks with serious knee pain.
Have a great weekend,
