Knee pain is a very common health problem faced by several people. In the winter season, arthritis and knee pain tend to increase due to various reasons such as loss of flexibility, reduced activity, severe cold weather can reduce blood flow, and changes in air pressure affect tissues, etc. With the rite of passage, we age and so do our body parts. And age can mean health problems such as loss of muscle and strength. This is known as sarcopenia, where there is natural loss and degeneration of skeletal muscles where age is an important factor. This also increases the risk of falls and subsequent fractures.
Diet plays a fundamental role in maintaining a healthy life. A video recently appeared on the Internet in which an elderly woman spoke openly about how to alleviate her pain with the help of dietary changes.
A doctor, Dr. Sayajirao Gaikwad, shared a video on his X account (formerly Twitter) of an elderly woman who made changes to her diet that helped her relieve her knee pain. Dr. Gaikwad mentioned that an important dietary change is adding more protein. “This is how I encourage older people to eat protein-rich foods. By simply giving them protein-rich foods, we see changes in their quality of life. Our elders deserve nutrient-rich foods. Diet rich in eggs, paneer, meat and legumes. Strictly reducing rice and stopping wheat helps her,” she wrote in her caption.

In the next thread he also mentioned how the woman was able to achieve this without undergoing knee replacement surgery. “Six months ago I couldn’t walk without support. They recommended knee replacement surgery. She rejected him. She happily follows her diet and sees a huge improvement in her health. “75% of knee pain improves just by changing foods.”
Why is protein important?
Protein is an essential dietary component that helps build muscle naturally. It also helps repair tissues, helps strengthen bones, stimulates metabolism for weight loss and is also a good source of energy.
