1. Reduced Synovial Fluid Production: Synovial fluid acts as a lubricant for your joints. Moving your knees helps distribute this fluid, reducing friction and wear on the cartilage. Sitting limits this process, leading to increased wear and tear.
2.Muscle Weakness: The muscles around your knees, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, provide crucial support. Prolonged sitting weakens these muscles, increasing the load on your knee joints and leading to pain and degeneration over time.
3.Restricted Blood Flow: Sitting restricts circulation, which can cause your knees to become stiff and less flexible. This stiffness can accelerate joint degradation and increase the risk of developing arthritis.
