Tips to keep your knees healthy | Dr. Monu Singh

Knees are an important structure which needs special care and attention as most of our activities are dependent on this. The knee is a weight-bearing joint due to which it is prone to wearing out.
Dr. Monu Singh, Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon and Chief of Services for joint replacement, arthroscopy and sports medicine at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Gurugram, talks about tips to keep your knees healthy.

1 Don't sit squat 2 Don't use stairs carrying heavy luggage 3 Regular knees exercise 4 Proper hydration 5 Don't stand-up and start walking immediately after sitting squat for long time, firstly move your knees 4 to 5 times to lubricate your cartilage than stand-up 6 Bend knees , straight back and pick things from ground 7 Carry things closer to body instead of holding out 8 Take vitamin c

[@MrAntichizion]

Thank u so much

[@yasmeenjahanzeb1637]

A very realistic and practical information. Gives more confidence to the prior knowledge. Thank you Doctor!

[@vedantchaudhari1306]

Thanks sir for healthy knees information.

[@kartik-nn8cc]

not squatting at all. Realistic?

[@rishabhsharma1927]

1) No squats 2) No stairs 3) Proper warm-up before sports 4) Proper hydration

[@Nadirmnb]

Basically do nothing, just sit on bed.

[@PriyankaMadaan]

No stairs 😝

[@AScreengazer]

He gave a lot more tips that that

[@kraftwerk974]

Dear Doctor, thank you for the great explanation. After listening to it I am left with a concern though: on one hand you explain that poor muscularity around the knee favours cartilage damage but on the other hand you clearly discourage squatting. Therefore, how can one increase muscle mass around the knee then ? This looks like squaring the circle...

[@luqmanr]

Maybe swimming, or cycling

[@aman.2912]

Don't take a doctor's advice on working out. They're not qualified for it.

[@0-Will-0]

Don't do a full squat, do a lower degree of motion to reduce impact on the knees but still improve muscles?

[@lakshmi1994-d4t]

Wall squats and single leg wall squats. With lunges back, front, step up and down. Heal rise. Cycle, swim... So many way to increase strength. Both legs I had ligament tore with meniscus tear. Now muscles have built around it and able to walk 3km easily up or down hill. Still can't run.

[@inlovewithhumans]

I don't have time and capacity to make a video But I want to tell all that maintained strong joints needs proper nutrition 1. Eat a big bowl of fresh vegetables during the day, before sunset. 2. Eat a big bowl of fresh seasonal fruits throughout the day. 3. Eat collagen boosting foods or few grams of good collagen supplement. 4. Eat good amount of vitamin C rich foods to keep a strong and healthy body. 5. Exercises to boost healthy knees. 6. Avoid too much alcohol and carbonated drinks are a big no including those packed foods and juices. 7. Do not do stupid exercises in the gym that could put too much pressure on the knees. 8. Stop smoking 9. Stop caffeine it depletes body of minerals. 10. Eat fresh seafood, avoid frozen seafood. 11. Do not overdo cycling, or running or leg exercises. You are a normal person not a sportsperson.

[@albussd]

What exactly do you mean by "stupid exercises" and "pressure on the knees". Without weight training, how is one even supposed to strengthen the muscles around the knees?

[@XYesterday-o9e]

Thank you very much for this helpful information.

[@buddybestor]

Im almost 40, i dont run, i sprint! I jump, squat, pistol squats, lunges,...everything he said is BS! You just have to allow good recovery, eat right, warm up properly, and massage the knees often! Use it....or loose it!

[@BicheBug1996]

You did not listen to this dr properly listenagain to hear when he says not to squat while sitting position

[@karthikrox6310]

I think he meant sitting all the way down in a relaxed ass to grass position. That's why he probably mentioned end range of motion.

[@Nadirmnb]

Agree, our grand fathere used to lift so much weightband walk miles every day, but they never had knee problem...

[@Amamoneymagnet9]

Coz they ate nice food which did not contain hybrid foodgrains and had less.number of vaccines which r poison only More a person takes vaccine Lesser he would live Lesser power he will have More diseases he will get after any type of vaccine all vaccines are poisonous Only.nature can cure any disease Trust nature Not man made poisons(vaccine)

[@satviktripathi7263]

But sir, by doing squats we strengthen our muscles around the knee only, and what if i squat only twice a week?

[@ebygeorge6450]

[@parminderbhangoo4781]

Good information thank you

I loved to squat sit for my back and had no idea I was messing up my knees. Thanks!

[@williamkenny9515]

Thank you!

[@pele-moshec2552]

Great video

[@himanshutewari3644]

Doc somehow whatever you told contradicts with knees strengthening, squatting helps in building knee muscles, stairs are good for all over body health evening you are carrying weights.

[@Ashish-rx4tv]

So that he have more patients

[@kfaberdnt]

I thought he was talking about squatting down to rest the back thus hyperextending the knee

[@abhishekas2335]

Teaching a doctor

[@dr.muscle.kapoor]

Bhaiya knee mein muscle nahi hoti hai it's cartilage connected with nearby quad, hamstring and calf muscle connections.

[@aman.2912]

@@abhishekas2335 Don't take a doctor's advice on working out. They're not qualified for it. There is clear evidence of squatting and other knee based workout in strengthening the knees and to provide longevity. Doctors are not Gods when they advise on something that it out of their area of competence.

[@parvesharora2023]

Thanks good Msg of

[@10cube11]

I hate to say it but some of this of this is silly. I am a crossfit athlete and it is common knowledge that if you squat, even squatting heavy, with proper form, slowly progression, and no pain, your knees will be super healthy. There are athletes in my gym in their 60s-70s and have some of the healthiest knees. Squatting is okay and encouraged, but in the right way.

[@rbc812]

[@arunavdikshit1905]

Squat with proper form is good for your legs. A proper squat does not require knee movement at all just your thighs and glutes. If you do squats pls watch videos on KZbin and learn proper form.

[@HenryJ164]

So, squat exercise is not good?

Instead of full squats, just use a chair to sit and then rise out of the chair. That is a common function we must do and it engages the quadriceps without stressing the knee. I bet Dr.Singh would support that exercise.

Doctor is right. Bcoz he know, what to advise a patient, not a healthy man. You can't do those shit exercises, when you got a Knee issue. Stairs are drastic, to a Knee patient. So, thank God, and do whatever you want but carefully. In case of knee, first chance is the last chance. After that, crap, and crappy life.
