  1 in 4 adults in the US  struggle with chronic knee pain. Most of these people experience knee pain due to higher body weight.  With more weight, the body exerts more pressure on the knees. This reduces the cartilage in the knees and other joints and can lead to mobility issues in the long run. A proper diet and exercise plan  designed around improving knee health  and relieving the pain is important to keep the pain under control and prevent future knee-related issues. Here are some exercises you can try to relieve knee pain and condition the muscles around it. Warm Up Properly The biggest mistake people make when it comes to stretching muscles and relieving pain is not warming up properly. Warming up increases your heart rate and improves blood flow. It also helps oxygen to absorb better and enhances the connections between your muscles and nerves. Without warming up, you’re at risk of muscle damage. This will increase your knee pain and prevent you from imp...

  According to research, one in two women or one in four men over the age of fifty are expected to break their bones due to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is often referred  to as the ‘silent disease’ because it rarely ever shows evident symptoms. The disease can weaken bones, usually in the hip, spine, and wrist areas. Many people who have osteoporosis encounter limited mobility. They tend not to move too frequently or vigorously out of fear of breaking a bone or causing an injury. Consequently, it can sound strange when people tell you to exercise and stay active when dealing with osteoporosis. If this experience sounds similar, we have a few exercises that can be beneficial for people with osteoporosis. But, before diving into the details of the exercise, let’s explore what the disease entails and why exercise is an integral part of recovery or treatment. What is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a bone disease caused when bone mineral density and bone mass decrease over time. Thes...

Are you waking up tired from your workout even after getting proper sleep? Your body might still be dealing with sore muscles  from your previous workout session. This happens when the body doesn’t get enough time to recuperate, and the tears in the muscles aren't healed . Working out again with sore muscles or sticking to the same workout and diet plan  can lead to muscle fatigue and, in the worst-case scenario, permanent muscle damage. Here are some ways to relieve sore muscles  and avoid health issues. Don't Skip The Warm-Ups Most people don't pay attention to warm-ups or stretching before starting their workout. But stretching keeps the muscles healthy, increases blood flow, and increases flexibility. Without stretching, your muscles might not offer a wide range of motions and can become sore easily. Use A Heating Pad Sore muscles lead to closed veins, which can hinder blood flow and increase pain. Adding heat dilates the blood vessels and facilitates blood flow. The ...

  We all know exercise is great for the body, but did you know working out can also improve your sleep, boost your overall mood, and decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression? Exercise is more than just about muscle size and aerobic capacity. Sure, it helps you keep your waistline in check, improves your physique and sex life, and helps you live longer, but for some, that may not be enough motivation. Most people who exercise regularly feel more at peace with their well-being. They’re a lot more energetic throughout the day, get better sleep at night, have a better memory, and feel much more positive and relaxed about their life in general. It can be a strong deterrent against many common mental health problems. If you exercise regularly, you can improve your sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and symptoms of ADHD. You don’t need to make working out your number one priority in life—even modest amounts of exercise, such as 30 minutes of moderate-intensity movement every day, can ...
