How to Reduce risk of joint pain during winter?

Introduction:- Stiffness, discomforts, and pains are often related to weather fluctuations, particularly the falling climates of winter. There is no one justification for why lowering climates affect joints. One hypothesis is associated with declines in barometric pressure, which results in tendons, muscles, and the encircling tissues expanding. Because of the confined area within the body, this can result in discomfort, particularly in joints affected by arthritis. Realizing why certain people respond to weather differences and others do not is doubtful, but various steps can take to be more comfortable and decrease the risk when the climate turns cold. Everyone’s body reacts to varying barometric pressure, but individuals with arthritis and those with chronic pain are more sensitive to feeling pain. The evidence of a scientific connection between cold weather and joint pain is mixed. Various researches suggest a solid link while others de-emphasize it. But whatever the study says, for many patients, winter joint pain is very true. 

Tips to Reduce risk of joint pain during winter:-

  • Ease the shock of cold weather on the body by dressing in layers to stay warm.
