Orthopedist warns about dangers of leg-over-leg position for joints
Everyone has heard at least once that you shouldn't sit with your legs crossed. It's bad for your health.
But why exactly is this position harmful?
Anvar Giniyatov spoke about this in more detail in a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Gazeta.ru ”.
The specialist emphasized that in this position the load inside the joint is distributed unevenly and it stretches.
Redistribution of synovial fluid occurs within the joint.
It turns out that on the one hand it accumulates, there is an increase in intra-articular pressure, and on the other hand, as the doctor emphasized, dryness appears. As a result, the cartilaginous tissue detaches, the joint wears out prematurely.
In addition, the doctor spoke out against shoes with high heels and narrow lasts.
Such things have a negative impact on health, blood flow is disrupted, and fewer nutrients reach the joints.
