The Link Between Weight Loss and Knee Pain 🩺

Why does my knee hurt?
Knee pain is one of the most common complications of being overweight or obese. If you’re among the millions of people who experience chronic knee pain, even a small weight loss can help reduce pain and lower the risk of osteoarthritis (OA).
The extra pounds increase the stress on your knees. That stress can cause chronic pain and lead to other complications...

How weight loss affects knee pain
Maintaining a healthy weight has many health benefits, including reduced risk of a number of diseases that include:
* heart disease
* type 2 diabetes
* high blood pressure
* certain types of cancers
Losing weight benefits knee pain in two ways.

Decreases weight-bearing pressure on the knees
Each pound of weight loss can reduce the load on the knee joint by 4 pounds. Lose 10 pounds, and that’s 40 fewer pounds per step that your knees must support. And the results add up quickly. Less pressure means less wear and tear on the knees. This lowers the risk of OA.

Reduces inflammation in the body
For years, OA was considered a wear and tear disease caused by prolonged excess pressure on the joints, particularly the knees, which, in turn, caused inflammation.
However, being overweight may increase inflammation in the body that can lead to joint pain. Losing weight can reduce this inflammatory response.
One study suggests that just a 10 percent reduction in weight can significantly lower inflammation in the body.
Another study found that even simply overeating triggers the body’s immune response, which increases inflammation.

The link between weight gain and OA
Being overweight or obese significantly increases a person’s risk for developing OA.
According to John Hopkins Medicine, women who are overweight are four times more likely to develop OA than women who are a healthy weight. And men who are overweight are five times more likely to develop OA than men who are a healthy weight.
But losing even a small amount of weight can be beneficial. For women who are overweight, every 11 pounds of weight loss can reduce the risk of knee OA by more than 50 percent.
Men who drop into the overweight category (BMI below 30) and men who drop into the normal weight category (BMI below 26) can reduce their risk of knee OA by 21.5 percent.

Easy ways to lose weight
There are steps you can take to start shedding pounds, including:
* reduce portion sizes
* Try The 1:1 Diet Plan
* go for a walk after a meal
* take the stairs rather than the escalator or elevator
* use a pedometer
Taking the necessary steps to manage your weight can help protect your knees from joint pain and reduce your risk of OA

Let's have a chat with Sophy Searight! 📣

"I always had a clear health objective in mind when I started The 1:1 Diet, which was to have a healthy BMI. ⬇️

I put on a lot of weight during my maternity leave after having twins, and was complaining on a Facebook group that I was getting big. Another mum suggested The 1:1 Diet because it had worked for her. As soon as I realised there was a weekly check in with a real person I felt very confident! 🙋‍♀️

Motivation and accountability have always been my issues and with those things taken care of I was happy to start. ✅

I remember the trigger for me was feeling that armchairs were getting rather snug. 🙈

I reached my goal earlier this year, achieving a BMI of 24.9 down from 37 and a size 18/20 last year (I'm 5 foot 9). 💪

A key factor in the diet working for me is that it takes no time, no thought, no planning, no shopping and no complicated points counting and measuring.

I now wear a size 12, have lost a third of my body weight, and a huge bonus is that as well as feeling fit and healthy I now feel attractive and confident. 🤸‍♀️

Huge thanks to sophysearight121dietlady for sharing her story! ⭐
