High styles pleases knees.....

    Good news for glamour pusses: high heels may actualy be good for your knees. More than 2% of people age over 55 suffer pain as a result of knee osteoartritis. But researchers at Oxford Brookes University in England wondered twice as many women as men over 65 were affected. The suspected high heels might be to blame. However, a survey 111 women found those who had regularly worn 7.5cm heels  more likely to have healthy knees-particularly if there'd danced in heels. Being overweight before 40, heavy smoking and previous knee injury were far more likely to increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis.
