Staying active doesn't always mean going to the gym. Everyday hobbies like gardening, walking, or light housework are fantastic for maintaining mobility, improving mood, and supporting heart health—especially as we age. But even these low-impact activities can take a toll on your joints and muscles over time.
For example, gardening involves lots of bending, kneeling, digging, and gripping—repetitive movements that can strain the knees, wrists, and lower back. Similarly, long walks on uneven surfaces or up and down hills can stress the ankles, hips, and knees.
To protect your joints:
¡ñ Warm up before activity with a few simple stretches.
¡ñ Use ergonomic tools or cushioned kneeling pads in the garden.
¡ñ Take frequent breaks and listen to your body.
¡ñ Hydrate and fuel your body with joint-supportive foods (think Omega-3s and antioxidants).
After your hobby time, help your joints recover with a natural product designed to soothe and support mobility.
