Recipe Of The Month One-Pan Salsa Verde Shrimp & Rice
For years, conventional wisdom has said that avid runners would go on to develop osteoarthritis in their knees. After all, OA is a degenerative condition that occurs when the cartilage in the knee breaks down–so surely the wear and tear of running would lead to osteoarthritis down the line. As it turned out, this isn’t actually the case. In fact, running regularly may help protect you against developing OA! Studies show that physical activity, in general, can help protect against osteoarthritis, and the actual risk factor is staying sedentary. Why is that? Studies suggest that moving your joints keeps the tissue strong and healthy, preventing both inflammation and tissue degeneration. It’s the same reason exercise is one of the best ways to manage osteoarthritis pain.
