We live in a time when anger and fear dominate. From wars fueled by religious or historical tensions to societal unrest about leadership, policies, and the future of our planet. Think of the COVID-19 pandemic, where proponents and opponents were fiercely divided, or the climate debate, which has polarized those who believe in human impact versus those who suspect economic or political motives. This ongoing polarization not only leaves deep marks on our society but also on our bodies. What does this emotional turmoil do to our physical well-being?

Osteoarthritis, also known as joint wear, is a chronic condition in which the cartilage in the joints gradually breaks down. This cartilage normally acts as a kind of shock absorber, ensuring smooth movements of the joints.
