Why joints hurt when it's cold
Ever wonder why joints hurt when it's cold? Is it mere coincidence and is there anything you can do about it?
During periods of cold whether, particularly winter time, there is an increase in lower body pain.
Cold weather can cause the joints to hurt because cold weather causes a change in the joint fluid. Cold temps cause the joint fluid to thicken, and this subsequent shrinking of the tissues in turn pulls on the nerve endings and causes pain.
This begs the question, is there anything you can do about it? The answer is YES.
Sitting for extended periods affects your health
Humans weren’t built to sit all day.
In fact, we were designed for physical activity and vigorous movement. Our ancestors had much more varied activity every day from squatting to sprinting, carrying heavy objects, to walking long distances.
Our current modern lifestyle has huge health costs associated with spending so much time on our bums.Whether it’s driving, working at our computers, watching TV, or scrolling our social media feeds, most Americans spend more time on their butts than they do on their feet.
