Warning!!!!!! Walking in Stilettos 3.5inch Could Prematurely age ones Joints



A study found that walking in three-inch heels causes changes to gait similar to those seen in ageing and arthritic knees.

The Californian researchers said: ‘Because women and men are observed to have similar knee biomechanics during barefoot walking, gender differences in footwear, specifically high-heeled shoes, have been implicated as a possible factor for the higher incidence of osteoarthritis in women.’

The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, caused by wear and tear of cartilage that helps our joints take the strain of bending, lifting, gripping and kneeling, affects more than eight million Britons.
Stiff, swollen and painful joints can make walking difficult, with stairs particularly tricky.

The higher the heels were, the more their gait, including the movement of their knees, changed.
‘This suggests that high heel use, especially in combination with additional weight, may contribute to increased osteoarthritis risk in women.’
