Introduce the maintenance methods of four knee joints:
First, do a good job in life and diet care: if the elderly want to avoid knee joint problems better, they should pay more attention to supplementing vitamins in their diet and eat more foods containing vitamins and calcium and phosphorus, such as carrots, oranges, milk and cheese. In addition, the elderly should pay attention to keep their knees warm and avoid being in a wet and cold environment.
Second, weight control: weight gain in the elderly is a common phenomenon, and overweight is not only bad for the body, but also brings a burden to the knee joint, which is not good for the health of the knee joint, so weight control is also a key factor in maintaining the knee joint.
Third, reasonable exercise: reasonable exercise is conducive to the exercise of the knee joint and can strengthen the ligament and muscle strength around the knee joint. But it is not suitable for the elderly to choose their own sports methods, such as climbing mountains, climbing stairs, squatting and so on. These harmful movements to the knee joint should be avoided, and at the same time, strenuous exercise should be avoided. Swimming and cycling are recommended.
Fourth, do a good job in prevention and treatment: for the elderly with knee joint problems, we should pay more attention to joint maintenance, otherwise it will lead to aggravation and greater impact. In severe cases, timely surgery or drug treatment is required. For severe knee arthritis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment, and the specific treatment can be in accordance with the doctor's advice.
No matter whether there is a problem with the knee joint, the elderly should take precautions before it happens, so as to better ensure the health of the knee joint and avoid the knee joint being affected by various adverse factors, resulting in its function being affected or causing symptoms such as pain, which will have a serious impact on the knee joint.
