A few creaks and groans are expected as you age, but if you’re feeling stiff, sore, or inflamed more often than not, your joints might be ageing faster than the rest of you.
Why it happens: Inflammation is a major driver of ageing—especially in joints. If your body is constantly inflamed from poor diet, sedentary habits, or even hidden food intolerances, your joints will feel it.
What to do:
Add anti-inflammatory foods (like turmeric, berries, and leafy greens) to your diet.
Stay active with low-impact movement like swimming, cycling, or yoga.
Cut down on sugar and processed foods—they’re inflammatory bombs.
