Why does my hip hurt? Hip pain can have many causes and mostly doesn`t require surgery
This can come as a surprise; many people associate hip pain with old age. It can strike fear into the hearts of those in their 40s or 50s, who may suddenly wonder if old age-or even a hip replacement-may be on the horizon much sooner than expected. The good news is only a minority of people with hip pain will have something medically concerning or actually need surgery. Surgery should only be considered after doing a comprehensive rehabilitation exercise program.

Between sleep and exercise, choose sleep, research suggests
Studies have shown that physical activity and sleep influence each other over 24 hours, suggesting a need to optimize both to reduce the long-term risks of morbidity and mortality. A large, multinational study found that fewer than 13% of participants simultaneously met the recommended 8,000 daily steps and 7-9 hours of sleep. Moreover, the study showed that a lack of adequate sleep had a negative impact on physical activity the following day. These results suggest that obtaining adequate sleep could help improve physical activity levels.
