The older a woman gets, the more time she devotes to caring for herself. In pursuit of perfect figure and smooth facial skin, the fair sex often forgets about their knees. But they are no worse than wrinkles on the face and can reveal a woman’s true age. In addition, sagging and flabby knees with unkempt, rough skin have an unsightly appearance.

Knee problems are age-related and depend on the structure of the leg. Both of them cause a lot of inconvenience in Everyday life. The most important of them is the inability to show off beautiful legs. Often a woman is forced to wear trousers and long skirts.

So, let's take a closer look at all the shortcomings of this part of the body and ways to make your knees beautiful.

Knees do not always look equally well-groomed and beautiful, even among women of the same age.

Ugly knees are due to:

1. The structure of the joint.
2. Overweight.
3. Knee shapes.
4. Age-related changes (saggy, flabby, wrinkled).
5. Lack of proper care (rough, dry skin).

Beautiful knees

Deformation of the knee joint brings discomfort to a woman’s life. It not only does ugly gait, but spoils the appearance of the leg as a whole.

Changing anything is difficult. The problem of ugly knees is the prerogative of plastic surgeons. Correction of this pathology is a long and complex process. Includes physical therapy, knee massage, orthopedic aids, surgical intervention. Moreover, treatment should be carried out using all of the listed procedures in combination.

Fat deposits in the knee area - a big problem for woman. The fact is that fat is distributed unevenly in the body. Accumulations of fat in the knee area are formed for various reasons:

• lack of growth hormone - somatotropin. The processes of fat breakdown and outflow of lymphatic fluid slow down;
• lack of chromium and zinc, which affect all types of metabolism - protein, carbohydrate, fat;
• lack of water in the body;
• genetic and hormonal reasons for full knees, but no excess weight.

Liposuction is considered the most effective procedure for removing excess fat from the knees. But the deficiency can be overcome at home, without surgical intervention.

Before starting a set of procedures for losing weight on your knees, you need to understand that the knee is a joint and it does not have muscle mass. Therefore, in order to achieve slender, beautiful knees, you need to lose weight throughout your entire body. As a rule, losing weight consists of two stages.

Healthy foods

This is the most important point, on which the result will depend. Don’t think that an immediate food restriction will quickly affect the shape of your knees. Extreme diets put a serious strain on the body. A psychological barrier arises in refusing certain products. Not everyone can handle it complex diets therefore there is a risk of weight gain again.

It is necessary to gradually introduce measures such as:

• refusal of flour products;
• avoid fried foods in your diet;
• remove fatty foods from the menu: sauces, mayonnaise, butter, lard;
• give up semi-finished products - no sausages, dumplings, sausages;
• do not abuse sweets.

Knee exercises

Physical exercises for beautiful knees are the safest and effective method make them slim. Not so long ago, a weight loss technique called callanetics became popular. Its essence boils down to the fact that with a minimum of movements, maximum energy is spent. This is a balanced set of exercises that combines elements of yoga, aerobics, and gymnastics.

Next, on bent legs with your heels connected together, lower yourself by 3 centimeters and, without protruding your buttocks, balance for 1 minute. Repeat the exercise three times.
2. Place your bent right leg on the back of the chair, holding it with both hands. Straighten your right leg as far as possible and count with the straight leg up to 50. Repeat the same with your left leg. In this exercise, it is important not to do anything forcefully; you don’t have to force your leg to straighten, it will do it itself when the tendon stretches.

Exercise is good for your health, but injuries are common, especially in active species sports (hockey, volleyball, skiing, sprinting). The main loads fall on the joints of the legs, so it is very important to choose the right equipment. Sports knee pads will help you avoid bruises, sprains, and unnecessary stress, but only if they are chosen correctly.

To choose sports knee pads must be treated with due care. Wearing the wrong equipment will increase the risk of injury. To avoid annoying mistakes, there are several rules that will guide you in choosing the ideal knee brace for yourself.

The size range starts from 1st and ends with 4th. The first size (smallest) is suitable for athletes with a thin body build. The fourth is for large people. Please remember that knee pads from different manufacturers may vary significantly in size.

The knee pad is always chosen strictly individually. While trying on, walk around a little and sit down. The knee pad should fit snugly to the kneecap, but in no case should it tighten the leg or restrict movement. If there is even a slight feeling of discomfort, this model is not suitable for you. The muscle profile of each person is individual, so you may have to spend some time selecting suitable equipment. The most comfortable are considered to be knee pads in the form of a belt that wraps around the leg. The fastening with two Velcro is easy to tighten on the go and change the strength of fixation.

Depending on the type of sport and intensity of training, you can choose a knee brace with additional amenities. When playing volleyball, models with helium are often used. Such inserts reduce the risk of injury and soften the force of impact in the event of a fall. The helium insert takes the shape of the athlete's knee over time and also provides additional ventilation.

Neoprene knee pads perfectly fix the muscles and knee, and are not afraid of moisture. They can be used when practicing water sports.

If the kneecap has become mobile due to prolonged loads, then in this case a knee brace with a knee support function is suitable. For athletes who have already had knee injuries, knee pads are recommended, reinforced with additional inserts that allow the joint to be firmly fixed. And thanks to the silicone pads, the knee pad fits tightly to the leg and does not move during movement.

There are knee pads with easy fixation. They don't have Velcro and don't fit exactly to your feet, so it's important not to get the wrong size.

As with any sports equipment, price often depends on quality. Good knee pads from a trusted manufacturer will not be cheap. It's better to spend a little more than expected and buy quality equipment rather than risk injury.

The skin that covers the knee joint is quite dry, with virtually no sebaceous glands, which is why it requires special care and hydration. Also, subcutaneous fat very often forms on the knees, which is not so easy to get rid of through diet alone. The appearance of the knees can also be spoiled by wrinkles that arise due to subcutaneous fat when, under the influence of gravity, they hang over the knees.

For example, if it hurts to walk, your knees are deformed, and also red, this could be a serious inflammatory process or infection. In such cases, you must immediately contact a specialist, otherwise the consequences can be unpleasant and even dangerous to health.

The arrival of spring puzzles women with a new goal - to create ideal shapes for the summer season.

Every year, when the spring sun becomes brighter and warmer days get closer, residents of big cities think more and more about how they will look in light summer clothes and how to remove the hated fat accumulated over the winter.
Some people, especially women, resort to express methods - they go on a strict diet that promises stunning results in a short time. However, this method of getting in shape can cause more harm to the body and not only will not provide the desired effect, but will backfire or provoke serious diseases.

It has long been proven by many healthy lifestyle experts that The best way Getting your body in order and keeping your body in good shape means playing sports coupled with proper nutrition. If you make a plan for getting in shape, it should look like this:

Step 1. Regular classes sports. By regularity we in no way mean daily exercise - they will exhaust and deplete the body, tired over the winter and from a lack of sun and vitamins. It is enough to exercise 2-3 times a week at medium intensity.
It is also important that the load is correctly matched to your level of fitness.

Step 2. The body should receive not only regular physical activity, but also a balanced diet, which will give energy to the muscles and help burn excess fat.
So, before training (at least an hour) it is better to eat food, rich in carbohydrates, and then - proteins.
During the day, meals should be regular (3-5 times), portions should be moderate, and foods containing fats, sugar, and caffeine should be kept to a minimum.
It is also necessary to remember about the body's hydrobalance: during training, do not forget to drink water, and drink at least 2 liters during the day.
