Great weight loss program, eh?
Physical activity helps your ligaments
It turns out leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is good for your cartilage. A study of 76 older women with osteoarthritis-related changes that included Nordic walking as an activity promoted fluid flow and nutrient diffusion. The activity “was able to produce sufficient stimulus to improve the estimated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of tibiofemoral cartilage. The role of GAG in cartilage health is to lubricate joints and surfaces and to maintain viscoelasticity.”
If you incorporate sound stretching with your Nordic walking program, you may have a winning combination.
