A member asked:
What can positively affect the health of our articular cartilage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Motion, weight loss: Motion (via non-impact aerobic exercise- walking, biking, swimming) definitely helps maintain the functionality of articular cartilage. Decreased load across a weight bearing joint (e.g. knee) via weight loss is also a major help toward improving the health of articular cartilage
