Wearing out that knee
06/02/07 07:06 Filed in: Running
Been
running short distance these few weeks. The "Track my
Runs" page clearly shows that.
Well it is true that that my knee hurts after I ran long distance. But it usually recovers the next few days.
But because of that discussion during dinner at Merchant Court Hotel with the Panasonic hosts got me scared.
Will I wear out my knee joints too early? There was talk of knees hurting like hell when you get older once the lubrication under your knee cap disappears.
This reminds me Hyaluronic acid. Something I learnt back in school.
Quick check on wikipedia "Hyaluronan is also used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee"
Will it help if I take more sticky starches kind of food to promote the production of Hyaluronic acid? Don't know. But its worth a try.
