🧘‍♀️ Gentle Habits for Happy Knees

Beyond food, lifestyle habits play a big role in maintaining joint health:

Choose low-impact exercise: Swimming, cycling, or brisk walking keeps joints active without added strain.

Maintain a healthy weight: Every extra pound puts more pressure on your knees.

Stay hydrated: Water helps keep cartilage soft and cushioned.

Stretch regularly: Especially after activity, to keep muscles flexible.

Wear supportive footwear: Proper shoes improve alignment and reduce stress on joints.
