Bipasha Basu On Osteoarthritis Diagnosis And Weight Training Benefits

A famous actress named Bipasha Basu found out about seven years ago that she has a health problem called osteoarthritis, which makes her joints hurt.

Doctors told her she might never dance or do action scenes again, and that made her very sad.

Instead of giving up, she started exercising with weights to make her body stronger.

Osteoarthritis happens when the soft padding inside the joints wears down, causing pain in the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

It is not only an old person's disease, because even people under 50 can get it, often because of their genes.

In 2019, about 62 million people in India had this condition, and things like being overweight or getting joint injuries can make it more common.

Lifting weights carefully makes the muscles around the joints stronger, which helps protect the joints and reduces pain.

Safe exercises include gentle squats, resistance bands, and exercises you can do while sitting.

It is important to start slowly, use good form, and ask a doctor or physiotherapist for help.

If joints hurt a lot or it becomes hard to walk, you should visit a doctor.
