What are the disadvantages of snapping your fingers? Is it harmful to break your knuckles?

Many people have the habit of snapping their fingers whenever they have time. Maybe at first, many people think it is very powerful and the joints can get good activities, so they often snap their fingers. Later, it became a habit, and fingers rang easily. In fact, snapping your fingers is harmful. What's the harm of snapping your fingers? Is it harmful to break your knuckles?

1, the reason for breaking the knuckles.

There is synovial fluid between finger joints, so you should break your fingers first. This overstretching and overstretching action will enlarge the gap in the closed cavity of the original joint. In this closed space, if the gap becomes larger, it will inevitably reduce the pressure in the joint capsule. At this time, the dissolved gas in the synovial fluid will precipitate, form tiny bubbles, and continue to fuse to form larger bubbles. When the bubbles fuse to the maximum, they will burst and then make a noise.

Moreover, because the gas and liquid in the human body are blocked by the skin and cannot be excluded from the body, 10 to 20 minutes later, these gases will dissolve in the liquid again, and then straighten the finger joints and make a noise again. This is the reason for the so-called joint echo when snapping your fingers.

2. The danger of snapping your fingers

(1) may cause arthritis.

Finger joint fracture may lead to related cartilage damage, which may lead to osteoarthritis.

(2) It will damage the joint ligament.

Frequent and repeated finger snapping is harmful to joint ligaments, and the ligaments around the joints are prone to acute injury.

(3) It is easy to suffer from bone diseases.

Breaking fingers for a long time is easy to destroy periosteum, make periosteum thinner and increase the chance of osteopathy.

(4) It may lead to joint dislocation.

When snapping your fingers, press your knuckles with great force until they make a noise, which may be beyond your physiological range. Over time, it is easy to cause joint dislocation and hyperosteogeny.

3. How to relax your fingers

Sometimes it is often necessary to maintain a posture for a long time. For example, fingers and wrists are easily tired after using the mouse for a long time. Don't break your fingers and relax at this time. You can relax your fingers by some other exercise or massage. Such as clenching fist and grasping, can move finger joints. There are also some massages to relax your fingers:

1. Pinch a part with the pulp of thumb and forefinger and twist symmetrically with a little force.

2. Hold your finger with your middle finger and forefinger, and stroke upward from the inside and outside of the finger root, and suddenly pull your finger at the end of your finger.

3. Cross your hands and rotate your wrist clockwise and counterclockwise. Or, cross your hands and turn them up and down so that your palms are facing up.

4. Warm reminder

Click, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't sound like much, but if this goes on for a long time, careful people will find that their hand joints are getting bigger and bigger, sometimes accompanied by pain. Generally speaking, joints need to be broken back, that is, they need to be reset, but frequent long-term pressing can lead to various joint diseases.

Break your fingers if you have nothing to do. Over time, you will get arthritis and osteoporosis. If you keep a posture for a long time, such as surfing the Internet for a long time and writing for a long time, you can have a rest, walk and swing your legs. But the habit of making noise at ordinary times is really bad, so we should give it up.
