You must have seen many such people around you who repeatedly snap fingers. On the other hand, if you are also one of them, then pay attention. This habit can prove to be harmful to your health. It has been claimed in many reports that doing this causes damage to the bones. Today we are going to tell you about the ill effects of knuckle cracking your fingers on health.
How does the sound of knuckle cracking fingers come?Actually, there is a special kind of liquid in the joints of the body. Its name is Synovial Fluid. This liquid acts as grease in the joints of our bones. Also prevents bones from rubbing against each other. Just like grease is put in vehicles. At the same time, when the fingers are repeatedly cracked, the gas of this fluid present between the joints is released and the bubbles formed inside it also burst. For this reason, there is a sound when the fingers are clicked.
When the bubbles formed in the joints burst once, after that it takes about 15 to 30 minutes for the gas to dissolve back into that liquid. That is why once the fingers are cracked, there is no sound when they are cracked again.How harmful?According to a report, the bones present in the body are connected to each other by ligaments. By repeatedly knuckle cracking the fingers, the liquid between them starts decreasing. On the other hand, if it is completely over, then the problem of arthritis increases. Apart from this, if the joints are pulled repeatedly, then the grip of our bones can also be reduced. Experts say that knuckle cracking for a long time affects the grip strength of the hand. This can also cause swelling in the hands.
