Stay Active and Strong

Regular exercise can strengthen the muscles around your hips, providing better support and reducing the risk of injuries. Activities like walking, swimming, and yoga are excellent options for maintaining hip health. Building strength in the core and lower body can help prevent overuse injuries and maintain flexibility.

Watch Your Weight

Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on your hips and decreases the likelihood of degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. A balanced diet rich in nutrients supports joint health and overall well-being. Monitoring your weight and making dietary adjustments as needed can prevent excessive strain on the hip joints.
