Osteo arthritis is typically associated with older people. As we age joints can become more brittle as calcium is lost and joints rub together abnd start to deteriorate.
We also can lose our balance as we age, this is when falls occur and hips break. Hip replacements are common but can take time to recover and the risk for infection is high.
Tai chi and exercise for balance, along with good supplements such as calcium with help us with our physical balance and posture. Try tai chi or yoga to keep supple and balance. Good nutrition and supplements are important for good health as we lose the nutrients we require to help fight off such diseases. Though no guarantee we have to make every effort we can to keep healthy and live the best lives we can.
