“Dairy Trick” SLASHES Your Heart Attack Risk 30 Percent?
Just twice a week reduces your risk
The pain of arthritis is no joke.
It’s not just about a little discomfort – osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can be downright debilitating. They can cause pain and limit joint function so much so that simple, daily tasks become a challenge.
With arthritis, you suddenly find your day-to-day routines to be grueling and agonizing.
From getting up and down steps, to opening a jar of pickles…
And over-the-counter NSAIDs provide little to no relief.
Unfortunately, there’s one risk factor that can DOUBLE your chances of getting osteoarthritis.
BUT – fortunately – there are steps you can take TODAY to eliminate this risk factor and find pain relief…
Yesterday, I told you about a powerful study showing that losing weight can reverse type 2 diabetes and eliminate the need for blood pressure drugs.
Well, today, I’m going to highlight another major reason to lose the weight once and for all…
It can help reduce arthritis pain and improve joint function.
There’s no denying the impact that excess weight has on your joints — especially in your hips and knees.
In fact, for every two-pound increase in weight, your odds of developing osteoarthritis increase by up to 13 percent.
That means if you’re just 20 pounds overweight, your chances of developing osteoarthritis DOUBLES.
And compared to non-obese women, obese women are four times more likely to develop knee arthritis, and obese men have a five-times greater risk.
So, it’s no wonder, then, that 66 percent of people with osteoarthritis are overweight or obese.
Today, I want to highlight the invaluable joint benefits of simply losing weight.
Four every ONE pound of weight loss, you’ll take FOUR POUNDS of load off of each knee.
So, losing 10 pounds relieves 40 pounds of pressure from your knees.
That’s a BIG deal in a condition that’s characterized by wear and tear on your joints.
In one study, people with osteoarthritis who lost 10-20 percent of their body weight through diet and exercise reported significantly less knee pain, plus improved function and quality of life (compared to people who lost 5 percent of their weight).
Weight loss has been proven to improve the mechanical pressures within the knee joint.
Losing weight also reduces inflammation in your body, which is a significant factor in arthritis pain.
The bottom line is that obesity and arthritis are connected.
For the healthy, pain-free joints, lose the weight.
