Osteoarthritis: What It Is and How to Recognize the Symptoms
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage between joints wears down, causing the bones to rub directly against each other, which leads to pain and discomfort.
Since joint cartilage has no blood vessels, it relies on joint fluid for lubrication and nourishment — which is stimulated through regular movement and exercise.
Therefore, moderate exercise is essential for maintaining joint health.
On the other hand, excess body weight increases pressure on the joints, accelerating cartilage wear and joint pain.
