Diet and lifestyle matter more to your joints than you might think. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Howard Luks explains the link and what you can do about it. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS The factors that can cause joint and tendon problems aren't limited to the traditional scapegoats like overuse—research shows metabolic health plays a significant role.
