1. Move, but move smart
Staying active is important for knee health, but it's all about choosing the right kind of movement. Dr Nene recommends low-impact activities like cycling, swimming and walking. He warns against high-impact exercises such as jump squats and intense running, which can harm the joints.

2. Watch your weight
Carrying extra weight puts more strain on your knees. Experts say that for every extra kilogram of body weight, your knees feel four times the pressure. This means losing just a little weight can reduce pain and improve joint function.
3. Strengthen your support muscles
Your knees rely on muscles like the quads, hamstrings and calves for support. Strengthening these muscles helps reduce the load on your joints. Dr Nene suggests doing exercises like squats, leg lifts and curls two to three times a week.

4. Wear proper footwear
The shoes you wear affect your posture and, in turn, your knees. Dr Nene advises wearing cushioned shoes with good arch support. He warns against using heels, flats and old, worn-out trainers as they can lead to long-term damage.
5. Use the RICE method for injuries
If you hurt your knee, the RICE method is a quick and effective way to heal:
R – Rest
I – Ice
C – Compression
E – Elevation
It helps reduce swelling and speed up recovery.
6. Stretch daily
Stiff muscles can pull on your knees and cause pain. A few minutes of daily stretching can make a big difference. Dr Nene recommends stretches like the standing quad stretch, calf stretch and hamstring stretch to keep your legs flexible and strong.

Retired IAS officer gives reasons why middle-class life in 2025 is better than in the 1970s
The generational debate over whether life was better in the 1970s or in 2025 has taken over social media, and now, an unexpected but powerful voice has joined the conversation. Shailaja Chandra , an 80-year-old retired IAS officer , took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her experience of growing up in a middle-class family during the '70s and why, despite the noise and burnout of modern life, she believes today's generation might actually have it better. Her post came as a response to a viral LinkedIn note by Himanshu Kalra, which painted a bleak picture of the modern Indian middle-class experience. Kalra compared the linear and 'sorted' path of a middle-class man in the 1970s—college, job, house, family—to the relentless rat race of 2025, where debt, job insecurity, high inflation, and mental health issues dominate the narrative. Chandra, however, had a different perspective. Reflecting on her own lived reality, she wrote that while the 1970s may have seemed simple, they were in fact 'very limiting.' Most families lived in joint households, constantly tracked their spending, and lived without the luxuries we now take for granted. Foreign vacations were a fantasy, eating out was rare, and even local travel was limited to trains like the Rajdhani, not flights. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo — over2shailaja (@over2shailaja) In contrast, she argued, today's middle class enjoys a far more enriched lifestyle. Be it the freedom to rent or own well-located homes, the ability to pay for children's extracurricular activities, or the convenience of online shopping and net banking—modern life, she said, offers comforts the older generation could never have imagined. Two working parents, CCTV-monitored housing, and access to leisure and fitness activities have made life more secure and enjoyable for many. She also praised the hustle culture of upskilling, saying that today's professionals constantly improve their value by learning and moving between roles, something that wasn't as common or even possible back then. Chandra ended her post with a cheeky note, asking people not to argue with 'nanis and dadis' because they, too, have 'eyes, ears, and a brain.'
