Wear and tear of cartilage even in early 30's is seen quite often nowadays. Exact reason is not know but the possible causes are inflammatory arthritis, chondromalacia, oxidative damage, lifestyle problems, impact sports, injuries etc. Fortunately the cartilage can heal itself to a certain extent. The potential for healing is even better in young people. Walking and swimming is good for cartilage nutrition. Avoid running, jumping, Indian style toilets. There are specific knee exercises which help to strengthen the knee joint and decrease the load on the cartilage. A good physiotherapist can help you with that. Almonds, walnut, cod liver oil, kiwi, pineapple, apricots etc. Are believed to be good for joints. (Basically and food with omega3 fatty acids and good anti oxidant properties are good). Glucosamine supplements are known to improve cartilage health.
