What can i do to prevent things? joint damage as i age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep joints strong: Joints go through alot of wear and tear through the years. To minimize that, keep those joints strong and flexible with exercise. Make sure you are keeping your weight in check. Weight bearing joints like the knees often develop arthritis from excess weight (ie obesity).
