The 5 things you can do to loosen up ‘creaky knees' – and when it's a sign of something more serious

WHETHER it's stiffness when sitting up from a chair or painful twinges when tackling the stairs, knee problems are a common health issue, affecting people of all ages. One knee -related problem, estimated to affect up to 41 per cent of the population in the UK, is something known as knee crepitus, or 'creaky knees'. 3 Knee crepitus is the sensation of a popping, clicking, or crackling sound or movement within the knee joint. While the sound can be concerning, it's usually not a sign of serious damage and is often harmless. But what can you do to help and when should it be a cause for concern? Anj Periyasamy, a clinical specialist physiotherapist working with Healthspan, knows all too well the restrictions that pain, injury and disorders can have on her patients. She said creaking is usually indicative of changes in the knee joint that often, but not always, relate to age related changes. Age related changes in the knees are something most of us will have to contend with, but she adds genes can play a role too. Anj added: "Some are unfortunate to have a predisposition towards more problems than others simply due to our genes. "However, as knees are the joint that carries the most weight of our bodies, a lot of our problems will be down to how we use them." So what can you do to stop creaky knees happening? From knee strengthening exercises to taking supplements, Anj recommends five things to help make your knees feel well-oiled. Unexpected everyday habits that could be causing your back pain 1. Strengthening exercises 3 The right form of exercise can help keep knees working at their optimum. Anj adds: "Reduced strength of muscles surrounding the knees put more direct pressure on ligaments, tendons and muscles." See Anj's recommended exercises below. 2. Work on your knee flexibility As we become more sedentary and adopt regular sitting postures, we are reducing the amount of time we have moving our joints. Anj advised: "This has a direct knock-on effect on the joint health. "The synovial fluid within joints lubricate themselves with movement and so without movement, less synovium and therefore more stiffness. "Motion is lotion as we say!" To improve knee flexibility, focus on regular stretching, particularly for hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves. Engage in low-impact activities like walking or cycling, and consider resistance training to strengthen supporting muscles in the hips and thighs. 3. Reduce excess body weight 3 Every kilogram of excess body weight over your BMI adds extra pressure on your knees, warns Anj. The initial steps to losing weight involve focusing on a balanced diet, incorporating physical activity, and setting realistic goals. These steps can help establish healthy habits and promote sustainable weight loss. 4. Good nutrition is key You are what you eat so making sure you have the right nutrition for joints its also pertinent. But Anj added: "Unfortunately, there is no quick fix if you have been told you have osteoarthritis as these are changes to the cartilage lining of the joints. "Glucosamine and Chondroitin (try Healthspan's Glucosamine & Chondroitin tablets) has some effect in joint health, but the evidence isn't strong enough for everyone to take in the prevention of knee osteoarthritis. " Vitamin D and calcium are key in supporting good bone health. Healthspan have a range of supplements that support good bone and joint health, but always consult with a medical practitioner to help you understand what is best for you and your body." 5. AposHealth device The AposHealth device is a non-invasive medical device, worn on the feet, designed to help improve walking patterns and reduce pain in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. It's particularly recommended for patients who may be considering knee replacement surgery, have not responded well to other treatments, and prefer a non-surgical option. Anj said: "It has a growing body of evidence in its support and use, now under the NICE guidelines approval for management of pain and function in those with arthritis of the knee." Exercises that are helpful to do Calf raises and dips off a step x 15 reps. Squats x 15 reps. This is an important functional movement such as getting off a chair/toilet. If this is too easy, then one leg squats are a great progression. This may not seem functional, but is important to help you get up and down the stairs. Knee bending flexibility for those with stiff knees (ensuring you can stretch your knee fully straight and bent), as this will have a direct knock on effect on your walking and standing ability Balance work on a balance cushion/pad. Try standing with both feet next to each other whilst standing on a balance cushion for 1 minute. If this is too easy then try balancing on one leg for one minute. Lunges x15 each side. Another great overall exercise that works hip, knee and ankle muscles and super important functional movement. If you struggle with this then start with shallow lunges before building up. Anj recommends: "If you struggle with creaky joints the above are easy and simple to do everyday, and really two to three times a day, but you may only be able to do five reps of the exercises. "Spend a few minutes each day on these exercises and you will see a difference within a few weeks." When should you get help? If joints are painful with the click or grind, or if there is a progression in your symptoms such as the joint feeling like it is giving way or locking, then it may be time to speak to your GP, or preferably, see a physiotherapist or osteopath for an assessment, said Anj. She added: "They have vast knowledge in how to assess and treat musculoskeletal disorders and use a variety of treatment tools such as exercise and manual therapy to help reduce your pain and symptoms. "They will also show you how to overcome the creaking." Creaking can occur with inflammatory arthritic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, warned Anj, which often need to be treated differently as they can present with red, hot or swollen joints. As well as joint damage or inflammation, it could be a sign of a vitamin D deficiency. If vitamin D deficiency is left untreated it can lead to rickets in children - a condition where bones become soft and bend. In adults, it can cause osteomalacia, a softening of the bones, and increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Experts reveal hidden ways sugar accelerates aging beyond just weight gain

Sugar is not so sweet when it comes to aging, especially when it's about your skin, brain health and the inflammation in your body, experts told Fox News Digital. "In essence, sugar acts like a slow poison when consumed in excess. It silently damages the structures that keep us young, our collagen, our vasculature, our metabolic systems and even our brain," Daniel Tawfik, a molecular biologist and co-founder of Healthspan, a digital medical clinic in Santa Monica, California, that focuses on anti-aging and longevity-promoting therapies, told Fox News Digital. Americans consume more than two to three times the recommended daily allowance of sugar, according to the American Heart Association. Added sugars are sugars or syrups put into beverages and food to enhance sweetness and texture. They are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, contributing to spikes in blood sugar, according to Healthline. "Our physiology simply wasn't designed to handle such a continuous influx of refined sugar, and it's straining our systems in ways that accelerate the aging process," Tawfik said. Consuming excess sugar can lead to a process called glycation, in which the body forms harmful Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). AGEs stiffen tissues, damage blood vessels and impair the function of critical cells, from skin cells to neurons, Tawfik said. AGEs can damage collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. AGEs can also "lead to more wrinkles, sagging and dullness in the skin," Michigan-based registered dietitian nutritionist Grace Derocha, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told Fox News Digital. Accumulation of AGEs "is linked not only to wrinkles and skin thinning, but also to age-related diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and even Alzheimer's," Tawfik told Fox News Digital. Excess sugar can drive chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, two foundational processes in biological aging, Tawfik said. Over time, a constant glucose supply can also overwhelm power-generating mitochondria in the body, making them less efficient. This mitochondrial dysfunction is considered a "signature of aging," according to Tawfik, and contributes to muscle loss, fatigue, degeneration of nerves and organ decline. This chronic inflammation is often called "inflammaging," Derocha told Fox News Digital, because inflammation "contributes to age-related decline throughout the body." "Frequent spikes in blood sugar and insulin can also disrupt hormonal balance, affect mood and impact sleep – all of which play a role in how we age and how we feel as we age," said Derocha, who is also a certified diabetes educator. It can also affect cortisol levels and cause fluid retention and inflammation around the midsection and face, Derocha told Fox News Digital. "The occasional dessert or sweet treat isn't going to age you overnight," Derocha said. "The concern lies in chronic overconsumption of added sugars, which are often hidden in processed foods, sweetened beverages and even some 'health' products." Cutting back on added sugar intake doesn't have to be "all or nothing," according to Derocha, who stressed the importance of reading labels to avoid unwanted sugars. "The occasional dessert or sweet treat isn't going to age you overnight. The concern lies in chronic overconsumption of added sugars." Be mindful that added sugars may be listed under different names, such as "cane sugar, corn syrup, honey, agave [and] fruit juice concentrate," Derocha warned. Swap packaged treats for fruit and nut butter or plain Greek yogurt and berries. "Granola, protein bars, flavored yogurts and smoothies can have more sugar than a candy bar," Derocha said. For more Lifestyle articles, visit "Always check the label, even on 'healthy' options." Opt for sparkling water, water infused with citrus, cucumber or mint or unsweetened iced tea instead of soda, flavored coffee or sweet tea, she suggested. "Sugar isn't evil – it's just overused and under-acknowledged in our food system," Derocha said. "Learning to spot it, enjoy it mindfully and reduce excess can have huge benefits for energy, skin, mood and long-term health, especially for those managing or preventing diabetes." The American Heart Association recommends no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day for women and no more than 36 grams for men.

The Whoop 5.0 Is Here for Your Health and Longevity: What's New?

Whoop, CNET's favorite sleep tracker, just announced that it launched not one but two new devices: the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG (aka medical grade). With these current models, the company has also unveiled new membership tiers and a host of new health, longevity and fitness features. Whoop 5.0 vs 4.0: what's new? The Whoop 5.0 now offers 14+ days of battery life on a single charge. For $29, you can purchase a basic charger or grab a wireless powerpack for $49. With the wireless powerpack, consumers have access to a full month of battery life. Whoop 5.0 can also be worn on multiple locations on the body -- not just the wrist -- for 24/7 tracking. If you find having a wearable on your wrist to be clunky and uncomfortable, this is a game-changer. The 5.0 model is also 7% smaller, per Business Wire, than the 4.0 but delivers 10 times more power efficiency. Updated sensors capture data 26 times per second. Whoop With the new Healthspan for users age 18 and older, Whoop measures your "Whoop age" compared to your chronological age and "pace of aging" using nine different health metrics. This gives users insights into how their lifestyle decisions affect their longevity and provides recommendations that help them optimize their health. Whoop Hormonal Insights is another fresh feature that assists members in better understanding how their menstrual cycles, hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy impact sleep, recovery, strain and overall well-being. Similar to Healthspan, the feature will also provide actionable insights and recommendations. It is not to be used for birth control or fertility tracking. Whoop There has been an update to the Whoop Sleep Score, which gives users a more accurate reflection of their sleep quality so they can better recover. Comprehensive fitness tracking has received a similar upgrade, so members now see their VO₂ Max numbers during fitness tracking and muscular strength during strength training and 145+ supported activities. The Whoop MG The Whoop MG has a Heart Screener, which includes an FDA-cleared ECG or electrocardiogram, a test that checks heartbeat. These results can be shared directly with your doctor. The Heart Screener also detects and informs users about possible early warning signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications (IHRN). Note that this feature is not for people with known arrhythmias other than AFib or those under age 22. It is also not recommended for users with implanted electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers or ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators). Whoop Currently in beta, Blood Pressure Insights is another new MG feature that offers daily estimates of systolic and diastolic ranges and provides more information about how blood pressure affects well-being. Whoop Advanced Labs Whoop has released the waitlist for its new Whoop Advanced Labs in the US, which will allow customers to purchase and schedule a blood test at a nearby location or in their home. Then, in their Whoop app, they'll receive a personalized analysis that allows them to understand what their results mean for their health and what changes they can make. In between tests, you see how your behavior changes impact biomarkers like cholesterol and glucose levels as well as sleep health. Note that this will be an additional charge not included in your Whoop membership. It is not currently covered by insurance, but the company is working on HSA/FSA eligibility. New Whoop membership tiers There are three new Whoop membership tiers: One (for fitness performance), Peak (longevity and health management) and Life (advanced health and heart monitoring). The prices are as follows: Whoop One: $199/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. $199/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. Whoop Peak: $239/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. $239/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. Whoop Life: $359/year. Includes the Whoop MG. You can purchase the Whoop 5.0 or MG now here. If you're already a member, you can extend your membership by 12 months to get a free hardware upgrade to the 5.0 with a one-time fee and no changes to your current term. You also have the option to upcycle the Whoop 4.0 to earn credit toward your upgrade or accessories.
