How To Treat Body Stiffness?

I'm 48 and my body feels stiff and sore especially in the morning. I'm not over weight, but I don't exercise. And I know I don't drink enough water. Is this old age and normal? I can't imagine how I'm going to feel in 20 yrs, if it's like this now.

Hi!

I can understand your concern!

In my clinic, I will advise the patient:

1. Please tell about your work habits. If you have a sedentary job, movements of joints is needed.

2. This is not exactly an old age, but a preparation for it.

3. Our joints need mobilisation, irrespective of age.

4. Please check your Vit D3, B12 and Calcium levels. These deficiencies are common now.If there is deficiency, the recovery will need exercise.

5. Exercise is ALWAYS a good option for fitness of muscles and joints. Please motivate yourself to walk at least 30 minutes a day.

6. Yoga can also be a good option to relieve stiffness.

With proper exercise, diet and healthy lifestyle, you will be equally healthy after 20 years too.

Wish you a healthy life.
