Daily Joint Care
Move every joint daily, oil weekly, warm food in winter.
What it is
Daily joint circles — neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle (3 each direction). Weekly sesame-oil massage. Anti-inflammatory food — turmeric, ginger, ghee, leafy greens. Avoid prolonged sitting.
Who should avoid / take care
- Forcing painful range of motion — gentle is the rule
- Cold drinks and raw food in winter if joints are painful
- Seek medical advice for a hot, red or suddenly swollen joint, injury, fever, locking, or pain that persists or worsens
Benefits
- Less morning stiffness
- Better range of motion
- May support day-to-day comfort and mobility
- Stronger surrounding muscles
Why it helps
Joints are nourished by movement — synovial fluid is pumped in only when the joint moves through its range. Sitting still all day starves the joints; daily mobility keeps them young.
