The time it takes for athletes to return to their respective sports varies and is not fixed. Recent studies have revealed that approximately one-third of athletes experience another tear in either the same knee or the opposite knee within a span of two years.

Stay Hydrated this Summer!

The impact of dehydration on bones can be significant. When there is a lack of water to carry essential minerals and support proper cellular function, it can result in bone deterioration and the development of osteoporosis over time. Additionally, without adequate hydration, toxins can accumulate within the bones, causing inflammation and a decline in bone density.

While consuming calcium and vitamin D is crucial for maintaining strong bones, vitamin K helps direct the calcium into your bones. ⁠
⁠
👉️ If you have healthy levels of vitamin K, calcium will be directed into your bones, where it can boost bone mineral density and make your bones stronger. ⁠
⁠
👉️ If you have low levels of vitamin K, the calcium stays in your blood vessels where it can cause issues such as weakening of the bones, kidney stones, and problems in the heart and brain.⁠
