high style pleases knees

Good news for glamor pusses:high heels may actually be good for your knees. More than two percent of people aged over 55 suffer pain as a result of knee osteoarthritis. But researchers at Oxford Brookes University in England wondered why twice as many women as men over 65 were affected. They suspected high heels might be to blame. However, a survey of 111 women found those who ha regularly worn 7.5cm hells were more likely to have healthy knees- particularly if they'd danced in hells. Being overweight before 40, heavy smoking and previous knee injury were far more likely to increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis.
