Health concern) Hiking and knees

I like hiking.

When I see the scenery from climbing up after relieving stress and feeling exhausted, it feels like toxins are leaving my body and the feeling of relief from bloating also comes over me. I have developed a hobby of climbing mountains and enjoy the joy of relieving stress, but at the same time, I have some concerns.

My knees are not in good condition, so I need to take care of them, and because of that, my family always advises me not to climb mountains and worries about me. I also want to do that, but I seem to live for the pleasure of occasionally going mountain climbing with friends, so it's hard to let go easily.

I'm especially worried because descending the mountain can cause more severe injuries to the knees than climbing it. I don't even take supplements for my knees. I'm concerned about what mindset and knee care are necessary to protect my knees while hiking.

저도 등산을 무척이나 좋아하는 사람 중에 하나인데 등산은 올라갈 때는 무리에 그렇게 많은 무리를 주지 않지만 글을 써서 써놓으신 것처럼 정말 내려올 때 엄청나게 많은 무릎에 무리를 주는 상황이라서 잘못하면 무릎관절이 망가질 수 있는 게 등산이 더라고요 그래도 등산을 하면서 스트레스도 풀리고 장점보단 단점이 적은 운동이다 보니 내려올 때는 등산 스틱을 이용해서 꼭 무릎관절에 무리가 되지 않게. 의지해서 내려오는 방법으로 등산을 하시는 게 좋을 것 같아요. 무릎을 보호해주는 무릎보호대 도착용해 주면 많은 도움이 된다고 하네요.
