Not being able to walk, run, jog, swim, etc because of hip and knee pain, or inflammation, might cause immense distress physically and mentally both.
If you want to keep knee and hip injuries away, continue to read till the end.Â
What are tissue injuries?
Your entire body is made up of 11 organ systems, i.e., respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, cardiovascular system, etc. All these systems are ultimately nothing but hard andtissue, again, made out of cells.
Thus, your body only has two types of tissue, namely, tissue and hard tissue.    Â
tissue in the hip or knee
 if there is no tissue. Joints are mainly bones but cannot remain in their anatomical position without parts.
Joints like the knee and hip have the following components in addition to the hard and white bones.
Muscles: This is the outermost covering of muscles over your joints. It cushions your joint bones and protects them from external traumas.  Â
Ligaments: A ligament is a band of tissue that ties your joint bones together. These rope-like structures are there to provide your joints with bone-to-bone connectivity.
Tendons: A tendon is mostly like a ligament but offers muscle-to-bone connections inside your knee and hip joints. If your tendon gets inflamed, it is called tendonitis.
For the best treatments, ensure you consult the top orthopedic doctor. Don’t try to fix genuine medical problems related to your joints at home. First, the right diagnosis is extremely important. So, see a good joint doctor as soon as possible.
Bursae: Bursae are little fluid-filled sacs inside your joints. They are for reducing the effects of friction and offering extra cushioning to the surrounding components in addition to articular cartilage and menisci.
Synovium: This is another part found in joints. Synovium lines the joint capsule and secretes a particular type of fluid known as synovial fluid inside the joint cavity for better and mobility.
When this synovial membrane gets injured and thereby inflamed, this condition is called synovitis.Â
Nerves: A human being has nerves throughout the body. These structures are also found in the knee and hip. Only because of them, you feel the sensation of pain in joints. Nerves carry pain signals from all over your body to the brain and you feel it. Hence, nerves are another part of joints.
Veins: Finally, you have blood vessels.
How to prevent hip and knee tissue injuries
Taking care of your joints is multidimensional. You will have to ensure a number of things for healthy hips and knees. Consider the following advice.
Eat healthy. Your body is what you eat. Put junk inside your stomach and your health will become junk itself. Or, eat quality meals and your health will glow forever. So, always have a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.Â
See that you aren’t calcium deficient. Add dairy products to your diet. It is crucial as it will help make your bones and joints stronger. When you have enough calcium, your bone mass density increases and your joints become better able to withstand risky external traumas.  Â
Take sunlight regularly. The sun is the best source of vitamin D so if possible make sure you expose your body to adequate sunlight. When the light of the sun hits the human body, it triggers a chemical reaction causing the body to produce this vitamin.  Â
Take vitamin D. If you cannot take sunlight for any reason, consider supplements. Vitamin D supplements are also good.
Drink enough water. If you don’t want to cause tissue injuries due to dehydration, drink plenty of water throughout the day. It will help keep your hip and knee joints and agile for better movement. Â
Say no to smoking. Smoking dries you out. So, you better quit it. It also interferes negatively with the absorption of essential macro and micronutrients.Â
Stay away from substance abuse. Don’t resort to alcoholism. If you have mental issues that force you to drink alcohol, make sure you see a psychologist to discuss your problems.
Ensure antioxidants. Consume enough vitamins E and C to help the body fight against the damage or injuries caused by oxidative stress or radicals.
Use protective gear while playing sports. Without safety measures, you might end up with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joint bone injuries.
Be mindful. Don’t rush anywhere. Make sure you climb up and down the stairs mindfully. You could fall and end up injuring your tissue.
Learn proper techniques. Sports like football or high jump might cause ligamentous injuries if you don’t know how to do them properly.
