In today's video, we'll talk about a fruit that's not very common in households around
the world, but has great potential for treating and preventing pain in the spine and knees.
This fruit strengthens not only the spine and knees, but the entire system of muscles
and joints in our body.
The spine is a complex structure that extends from the skull to the pelvis and consists
of 33 bones, also called vertebrae.
This structure contributes to the protection, support, flexibility, and mobility of the
entire body.
The knee is a joint formed by the connection of the femur and tibia.
Together with the kneecap, it contributes to the extension and flexion movements and
is also very important for our movement.
In addition, it has ligaments and muscles that are important for the mobility of the
leg and can prevent damage that can be caused by sudden or excessive movements.
Back and knee pain are often linked and can be caused by many factors, such as extreme
physical activity, falls, and poor posture.
In general, older adults are more prone to lower back pain because the soft tissues around
the spine lose elasticity with age.
There are painkillers that relieve this pain, but we can also prevent it by keeping the
muscles of the spine and knees strong and flexible with specific exercises.
Also, we should remember to have a healthy weight, not smoke, and maintain the correct
posture to avoid feeling these pains.
Now, you may be wondering, but what's that fruit you were talking about earlier?
