Doctors warn that the festive season's reduced activity and increased indulgence can negatively impact bone and joint health. Prolonged inactivity, longer sitting hours, and festive eating habits can lead to stiffness, muscle loss, and accelerated bone density reduction, increasing risks of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Reduced movement also weakens muscles, straining joints, and slows synovial fluid circulation, causing stiffness and reduced mobility. Gentle activity is crucial for maintaining bone density and joint lubrication.
