Snapping your fingers feels good for a while, but if you snap them 36,500 times, you can win the Nobel Prize!

Have you snapped your fingers today?

I heard that most of the male compatriots admired the gangster bosses in TV dramas when they were young. They appeared handsomely in black jackets and would click their fingers at any time. The boys learned by watching and thus developed the "bad habit" of cracking their fingers.

My mother always taught us seriously that if we bend our fingers too much, we might get arthritis when we get old!

However, many years later, a "stubborn" old man named Donald appeared.

When he was in his 20s, like you and me, he was once "threatened" by his parents for cracking his fingers, but the rebellious Donald did not believe it. In order to verify that cracking fingers does not cause arthritis, he decided to speak with facts.

With his spirit of "exploration" and unremitting "effort", Donald persisted in cracking his fingers for 50 years, cracking his fingers 36,500 times in total. Finally, when he was in his 70s, he proved to the world that cracking fingers does not cause arthritis! What's even more unexpected is that he won the Nobel Prize for this!

But having said that, although Mr. Donald has helped us prove that finger cracking has nothing to do with arthritis, there are still many bad habits in daily life that can cause damage to our joints. In severe cases, it can lead to arthritis.

Parents always use some very serious diseases or irreversible consequences to warn us, such as "If you do this again, you will..." to prevent us from doing something they think is bad. Arthritis is one of the "serious consequences" most often used by parents.

So someone may ask, what is this disease? Is it really that serious? Today, let's talk about it.
