Recently I developed the habit of running daily, and began to wonder whether my constant running would help or hurt my knees and joints in the long run (no pun intended). However, after researching and comparing the benefits of running to the detriments, I found that avid runners are less likely to develop arthritis and perhaps even live longer. Similarly, from reading the current knee1.com feature article, I learned that running and regular exercise create stronger bones and joints.

I also picked up a simple running tip to decrease the chances of knee damage and shin splints while increasing the lifetime of my running shoes. If you own more than one pair of running shoes, just rotate them every other time you run. This provides better support for joints by preserving the shoes’ cushioning.

Any other insights or helpful tips?
