How to prevent knee pain as you age For many, knee pain is seen as an inevitable part of aging. However, it doesn’t have to be.

Here are four things you can do to keep your knees healthy and preserve your mobility as you get older.

1. Strengthen your muscles Strengthening your upper and lower leg muscles, including your hamstrings, quadriceps and hip flexors, can help reduce stress on your joints.

2. Maintain a healthy body weight Being overweight can put significant stress on your knees. In fact, for every excess pound you carry, you put about four extra pounds of pressure on your knee joints.

If you’re suffering from knee pain, don’t ignore it. Talk to your doctor immediately to find a solution.
