  Acute injuries, infections, and chronic disorders are some of the factors that can cause joint pain and weakness. The fundamental cause determines the outlook.   A common symptom that might vary in intensity is joint pain. Areas of the body such as the knees, shoulders, hips, feet, hands, and elbows are frequently affected. Joint pain and weakness can coexist in some circumstances. A reduction in muscle strength is known as body weakness. Your arms, legs, and other muscles may become difficult to move as a result of it. Weakness is frequently accompanied by fatigue or exhaustion. Joint  pain and weakness can have a number of reasons, ranging from injuries to long-term, chronic illnesses. This section provides information on common causes, symptoms, and remedies. Find out more about weakness and joint pain. Seven Reasons for Joint Weakness and Pain    Joint pain and weakness can be caused by various disorders. Some reasons are temporary, such as physical injur...

  At the beginning of the 20th century, explorer Aljamer Stephenson, who set out on an Arctic expedition, spent five years eating only meat. This meant that their diet was 80% fat and 20% protein. Weight Lose 20 years later, in 1928, Stephenson repeated the same experiment for about a year at New York's Bellevue Hospital. Stephenson did this experiment to prove people wrong, who said that man cannot live by eating meat alone. But unfortunately, during both experiments, he fell ill very quickly. The reason was clear. Stephenson was eating lean protein , hence he got “protein poisoning”. That is, it became difficult due to taking more protein. When Stephenson changed his diet and included more protein and fat, his illness immediately subsided. Before his death at age 83, Stephenson followed a low-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. The case of Stephenson is one of the earliest examples of the adverse effects of high protein intake on human health. But this matter is a century old. Nowa...

  Sitting Too Long People sit for long periods daily, whether in the office, at home, or in the car.   However, sitting for too long can increase the risk of serious health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes  due to damage to the arteries . In 1953, epidemiologist Jeremy Morris discovered that London bus drivers were twice as likely to develop heart disease as bus conductors. Demographically (in terms of age, gender, and income) the two groups were similar, so why was there such a significant difference? Morris's answer was that bus conductors were required to stand and regularly climb the steps of London's famous double-decker buses as they sold tickets to passengers while drivers sat for long periods. His landmark study laid the foundation for research on the links between physical activity and health. Although conductors on London buses are now a thing of the past, Morris' findings are more important than ever. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, there ...

  The four stages of  high blood pressure  (hypertension)can have a variety of, occasionally unexpected, effects on your health. Different Types of Hypertensions Most of us have taken our blood pressure at some point, and we may have an idea of what constitutes "good" or "bad" numbers in general. It can be confusing to navigate the many phases and forms of hypertension, but knowing the hazards associated with the numbers is crucial, particularly for those over 50. A blood pressure measurement of 130/80 mm Hg or above is considered hypertension, according to guidelines published in 2017 by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (AHA). Because large  arteries  stiffen with age and raise blood pressure, older adults are more vulnerable to high blood pressure. If medication and lifestyle modifications fail to control the illness it may lead to heart disease, stroke, renal disease, vision issues, and even cognitive damage.    An estim...
