5 Causes of Knee Pain
Whether you’re experiencing recent knee pain or dealing with a long-standing ache that affects your daily activities, it’s helpful to understand contributing factors. Here are five common factors that are associated with knee pain:
Gender Disparity: It’s been observed that women are more prone to developing knee problems compared to men. Factors such as wider hips in females can increase the likelihood.
Age-related Degeneration: Years of use and strain gradually impact the health of our knees.
Weight Impact: Carrying excess weight places additional stress on the knees, which can exacerbate pain and increase the risk of developing knee-related conditions.
Overexertion and Injuries: While exercise is essential for maintaining overall health, pushing yourself too hard can lead to injuries and knee pain.
Smoking and Musculoskeletal Health: Smoking has been linked to various musculoskeletal issues, including joint pain and impaired healing.

How to Survive the Holiday Buffet Table
The festive season is a time of indulgence, and the buffet table can be a minefield for those with health concerns. However, with some planning and mindfulness, you can enjoy the festivities without compromising your health.
Start by surveying the spread and choosing healthier proteins, fats, vegetables, and whole grains.
Limit portions of high-calorie/low nutrient items like casseroles and desserts. Pace yourself and savor each bite, allowing your body to recognize when you’re full. Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages.
Finally, don’t beat yourself up over a few indulgences, this time of year is meant to be enjoyed. With moderation and balance, you can navigate the buffet table while maintaining your health goals.
