BONNIE REMINDS US in her book, How to Keep Slender and Fit After Thirty… “Seldom do wonderful things happen while we wait.” “If you do something often enough, it becomes a habit.” “You can’t turn back the clock but you CAN wind it up again.”
Unlike the Tin Woodman in the Wizard of Oz who had to depend on Dorothy to oil his joints, YOU carry your own joint oil with you in the form of synovial fluid, which is produced by a membrane that surrounds the joint. The fluid provides nutrients to the cartilage within the joint, as well as reducing the friction between joint surfaces when you move. When you move a joint the synovial fluid gets squeezed out across the joint surfaces as if you were oiling a hinge.
In order to keep the joints in good working order and help maintain the fluid’s quality and circulation, you need to move on a regular basis and stay hydrated.
So what are you waiting for? Keep your joints oiled by moving. Whether you are in a chair, bed, or up and running, below are some ideas you can use immediately to get moving.
And don’t forget what Bonnie said:
“Seldom do wonderful things happen while we wait.”
“If you do something often enough, it becomes a habit.”
“You can’t turn back the clock but you CAN wind it up again.”
