For every extra pound you’re carrying, your knee thinks it’s 5 to 7 pounds. So there are tremendous forces coming across your joints. The good news is, you can slow down the progression of osteoarthritis even with modest weight loss, even if you’re overweight.
If you lose 5 to 10 pounds, your knee thinks you lost 35-70 pounds!
Behaving like a yogi can make you a better skiier. Or a better golfer. Or tennis player. Or runner. Or anything else. Try this: whatever activity you are doing, be present. Be in the moment. Focus. And breathe. You will notice a difference. Not only will you be better at whatever you’re doing, you’ll enjoy yourself more fully. Try it.
If you find it hard to drink cold water on these cold days, try some hot water with lemon! It will warm you up, detoxify you and keep you hydrated!
Baby, it’s cold outside … but that’s no excuse to stay inside. Bundle up and go out for a walk. Once you start walking, you’ll warm up quickly, you’ll feel more energetic and your cheeks will be rosy!
