THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

When it comes to joints, it's best to plan ahead.

As a result of osteoarthritis, during menopause, all our joints begin to wear out, and for those who are predisposed it begins even earlier. For this reason, prevention is crucial. In practice, the joints, which act as shock absorbers between the bones, progressively lose their function. This is caused by age but also by poor posture, genetic reasons, trauma or diseases such as diabetes or gout. The fact that osteoarthritis progresses more rapidly after menopause also calls the hormone estrogen into question.  Movement, at all ages, is always a good way to fight osteoarthritis. It is essential to have an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D in your diet
