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 Obesityknee-pain-matthew-boes

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.

Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before. Thanks

      Lida Bright is what appears written in her birth license although it’s not at all her arrival name. It’s not a commonly used thing however what I quite like doing is without question coin assembling and I would personally never quit. Puerto Rico exactly where he’s for ages been living. Curing people is a few things i do from my day tasks.

  8. Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  9. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  11. Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

  12. Hi there are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

  13. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

    • Hi right there. Let me start by introducing generally author, an individual’s name will Eduardo Repent and your ex boyfriend feels restful when men use the full name. As a woman just she really loves is playing badminton so she’s practised the art of taking directly on new troubles lately. I currently enjoy in Mt and my family would like it. Filing is how he generates a living.

    • One important factor they does point out when it comes to her in spite of this was that she really loved olive-oil, this is why she resided a long time. Fantastic in case you take some time and thus envision it.

  15. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

  16. This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  17. Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  18. seo experts says:

    Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Kudos!

  19. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  20. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. However think of if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Amazing blog!

    • Great topic but I am not sure that I totally agree with you. Things like this have chanbged the way the internet was intended for. Is it really as easy as changing out the direction and watching the internet change?
