Losing Weight Can Reduce Knee Pain
A new study has procured results that show that heavier set people can drastically reduce any knee pain they may be suffering from by losing only 10% of their starting weight. They can also greatly improve their mobility and likelihood of future independence.
Osteoarthritis And Obesity
The pain that many overweight people suffer from is a result of knee osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. Obesity means your joints must bear added weight, something that wears them down quicker. Older people are most susceptible to osteoarthritis as it is often a result of natural wear and tear. Those suffering from knee osteoarthritis will often experience the following symptoms:
-
Join pain and tenderness.
-
Stiff joints upon waking or when standing after sitting for awhile.
-
When the joint is used you may feel a grinding sensation.
-
Sometimes small, hard bumps may form around the joint from which the pain is emanating.
Terms Of The Study
The study recruited more than 400 overweight sufferers of osteoarthritis and split them into three groups that required them to either diet or exercise or both. All groups lost some weight and increased their walking speed by some amount, but the group that employed both diet and exercise (losing on average 10% of their starting weight) saw the greatest improvement. This group also reported a noticeable reduction in knee pain.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
