Women's Guide to Knee Health 

Common Causes in Women 

Hormonal changes, wider hips, and joint laxity often lead to knee pain in women, especially during midlife and pregnancy.

Impact of Footwear 

High heels and unsupportive shoes can strain the knees. Choose cushioned, flat, or orthopedic footwear for daily comfort.

Lack of Muscle Support

Weak thigh and hip muscles can increase knee stress. Strength training helps stabilize the joint and reduce pain.

Weight and Joint Load 

Excess body weight puts added pressure on the knees. Healthy weight management can significantly ease joint discomfort.

Include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3-rich fish, turmeric, berries, and leafy greens to support cartilage and reduce joint pain.

Diet for Joint Health 

When to See a Doctor 

Chronic pain, swelling, or instability needs medical evaluation. Early diagnosis prevents long-term joint damage and supports better outcomes.
