At 92 years old, my legs are strong and healthy! 6 common mistakes that are slowly damaging your joints – advice from a doctor.

Mistake #5: Bad posture

As you age, you begin to hunch over, lean on your hands, and shift your weight onto your arms. This puts strain on your joints and weakens your back and leg muscles.

I learned to sit up straight, stand up with my feet flat on the ground, walk with my shoulders relaxed and my stomach tight. Proper posture is the key to balance. My body is starting to obey me again.

Mistake #6: Believing it’s too late

This is the most dangerous mistake. Many people say to themselves: “It’s too late, I’m old, there’s no point.” But the truth is different – ​​muscles respond to movement at any age.

A study published in Age and Ageing proves: even after 90 years, light exercise restores stability and coordination in just a few weeks.

Every day I ask myself: What did I do today to show that I’m still standing? And I always do something – I get up without help, I climb a step, I walk around the room. This is not a sport. This is life.
