With age, pain starts in the joints of the extremities, and weakness starts in the bones. Most of these problems are felt in the knees. Have you ever wondered why this happens?

For many years of life, our body joints continue to work without any problems. Then what happens that after an age, the pain starts in them, there is the trouble? Researchers believe that all the processes that occur at the end of our life are related to certain processes that occur at the beginning of life. In fact, these processes begin even before the birth of human beings in his embryonic state.

There is a change in the fetus during pregnancy. In the embryonic state, the asthenosphere of our body is completely made up of cartilage. It slowly changes and then the cartilage forms bones. Cartilage remains in only the part of the body where it is needed, ie in the joints. At these places, this process of converting from cartilage to bones stops. With this, we get ready to face everyday challenges in life.

The combination of strong bones and a thin layer of cartilage makes our body capable of using it according to different needs and circumstances. The cartilage is very strong. It can carry hundreds of kilos and also helps in making the body flexible. All this is possible due to its special structure. Cartilage contains an elastic solution that consists of several layers of water, protein, and collagen. These layers are very closely interlinked.

This structure of cartilage is required to be maintained in this way and this is done by cartilage cells. These cells are present at the depth of the cartilage tissue. These cells continuously change the fiber of the cartilage. The old protein chains are replaced by new ones, and for many years this process continues in a similar manner.

A strange process begins in these couples with the passage of age. There is something in the joints that the cells begin to destroy the cartilage. These cells resume the same process as in the embryonic stage. She tries to end the cartilage. This process starts early in some people and a little later in some.

In this process some cartilage cells die, then some are converted into bone cells. The cartilage now begins to form bone. Due to this, the shape of bones starts changing and it becomes difficult for the joints to move. The same process that prepared us for life in the embryonic stage now makes our joints stiff and stable. The result is pain and difficulties in walking and working.
