How does the weather affect the severity of joint and muscle soreness?

October 19, 2020 // -- For many older people, the cold of winter is usually accompanied by an increase in pain and pain, especially at joints and in muscle tissue.
recent studies have shown an increase in overall pain trends in older men and women, with a significant increase in the correlation between joint pain and weather conditions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.
cold weather affect our joints? In studying the link between weather and joint pain, previous researchers examined the link between temperature, air pressure, precipitation, humidity and sunlight and pain.
overall, the results are uncertain because they are very different internally.
mainly because pain is a subjective symptom and it is difficult to identify specific causes.
factors such as physical activity, mood and diet can also have an impact on pain.
studies have focused on the possible effects of atmospheric pressure on joint pain.
this is because there are gases and liquids in the joints, and if atmospheric pressure decreases, the volume of these gases and liquids can expand, putting pressure on the surrounding nerves and causing pain.
this assumption has not been clearly revealed.
recent study found that a combination of temperature, sunlight and humidity was associated with joint pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
prevent pain during the cold season, there are some things that can help reduce pain.
first of all, keep exercising.
is often associated with excessive weight, weight loss exercise programs can help reduce joint stress.
also helps improve muscle and joint metabolism and blood flow, thereby reducing inflammation, stiffness and pain.
people tend to go out and exercise when the weather is warm.
it is equally important to maintain a certain level of exercise in winter.
is due to reduced winter exercise resulting in decreased muscle strength and mass, as well as lower bone density.
long periods of in exercise lead to increased fat and overall weight gain, putting too much pressure on the joints, leading to injuries.
many large muscle movements, including legs, arms and torso (e.g. squats, sit-ups and push-ups) can be done in very small spaces, so they can be done indoors in winter.
it's worth noting that this resistance-resistant movement is important for maintaining muscle and bone strength.
like muscles, bones adapt to repeated load-giving stimuli, making them stronger and less prone to injury.
this is especially important for the elderly.
take vitamin D.
long-term exercise, especially outdoor exercise, can help alleviate symptoms because it provides healthier vitamin D for bones and joints.
when daytime is limited, artificial vitamin D supplementation is a good way to continue to get this vitamin, which plays an important role in bone mineralization, muscle function and nerve growth.
study found that daily vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of fractures in older adults and increase muscle strength.
if adults are exposed to the sun most of the time, they are advised to consume at least 200 to 600 (IU) of vitamin D per day.
foods rich in vitamin D include fish such as sardines, mackerel and mackerel, milk, margarine and specific soy drinks.
, but importantly, dietary sources alone are not enough to provide adequate vitamin D, and sunlight remains an important source.
also take glucoseamine and cartilage.
glucosamine and cartilage sulphate help provide cartilage nutrition and improve joint function.
they make joint movement smoother by reducing friction between the surfaces of the joints in the bones.
provides a good source of amino glucose for crustaceans, while cartilage sulfate can be obtained from cartilage in animal bones.
people with osteoarthritis need these medications to help restore cartilage function.
therapy.
when pain does exist, heat therapy can greatly relieve pain.
a hot bath or shower, especially in the morning, to help relieve pain and stiffness.
keeping the body warm increases tissue elasticity and improves blood flow, making exercise easier.
also helps activate neural pathps, which reduce the brain's sensitivity to pain.
