Greetings,

Today's enewsletter is part 2 of The Knees. Two weeks ago, we covered some of the common ailments and powerful treatments for the knees. Today we will dispell tthe most common myth regarding the knees -- Running (or any rigorous activity) causes knee problems and arthritis. ________________________________________________

On the surface, it may sound logical that running over time can cause knee problems. After all, most mechanical factions do break down. Cars do. Lawnmovers do. Even toothbrushes need to be replaced due to repeated use. Why would we think differently? Fortunately the body is very different. It is not mechanical, but rather BIO-mechanical. It is a composed of living tissue, tissue that actually grows stronger when used. How does this apply to running?

A study was launched in 1984 to measure the effects of running. All participants were at least 50 years of age when the study started. Every 5 years, detailed analysis has taken place. The newest updates were published in "Arthritis Research and Therapy" journal. The hypothesis was that running would create damage through accumulated trauma, with runners having about 10X the amount of damage compared to the control group. The results however were much different. The reseachers concluded that runners experience at least 25% LESS musculoskeletal pain, trauma or damage to the knee joint (as well as ankles and hips). The joint was more stable and had less injuries and "wear and tear." So what causes knee problems? The #1 reason for knee problem? Obesity. #2 reason?

Lack of activity. In my practice over the years, I have also noticed an emotional component to activity, any type of physical exercise/activity (which is not surprising considering the massive amount of information on this subject). People who are active, people who are presented with a challenge and take it on are the ones who are healthier, happier and yes, even more successful than those on the other end of the scale. It may be the best prevention and treatment we have or will ever create. What is the best activity or exercise? The one that you love because that is the one that you will do.

Until next week.

To your health,
