I am enjoying Daniel Lieberman's "Exercised". He is tackling the myth that our joints wear out. He says if inactivity were good for arthritis, the lack of physical activity in the western world today should mean that arthritis should have just about disappeared. Instead, it is the opposite.
I think that people with wear and tear issues with their joints have probably had injuries and trauma to the joints, which may not have recovered well or perhaps. people didn't get the rehab or physiotherapy they needed.
Arthritis Foundation says "if we don't use it, we lose it" and I say "if we do use it, we get it back".
Exercise is the best anti-inflammatory there is.
By the way, we were away for the weekend. I had access to an indoor heated pool. I had four sessions in the pool........ah, bliss.
My sore knee is a LOT better. I can't wait for the aqua season.
