Jogging can protect your knees from arthritis – study

Jogging can protect your knees from arthritis - study
People often worry that running wears away cartilage in the knees and causes arthritis, but a new study found that a daily jog may actually protect your knees.

Researchers at Brigham Young University studied fluid from the knees of 30 young adults, both before and after they went for a run, Joinfo.com reports with reference to WNDU.

After just a half hour of running, their knees had less inflammation and reduced levels of a protein linked to arthritis.

On the other hand, sitting for 30 minutes increased inflammation in their knees.

Researchers say this was a small and short-term study, and they hope to do more research to see how running longer distances and different paces affect changes in the knee.
