When it comes to arthritis knee pain ?, losing weight can really pay off ? ?
In fact, losing 10 pounds can take tens of millions of pounds of pressure off the knees every year ? ?
Why is this important?
Less pressure on a knee joint means less friction potentially damaging to the cartilage, i.e. between the bones of the knee joint ?
Experts estimate that for every pound you weigh, your knees feel the force of 3 pounds of pressure as you take a step ?
Quick calculation:
1 lb of body weight = 3 lb of pressure on one knee / step
10 lbs too much = 30 lbs of knee pressure / extra step!
For an average of 5,000 steps / day, this makes:
5,000 steps X 30 lbs of pressure = 150,000 lbs of pressure on the knees per day too much ??
Hum … for 365 days, that’s 54M pounds of excess pressure ?
In short, losing 10 pounds can make a difference of almost 54 million pounds of pressure on your knees each year … ??
With what we now know about effective rapid weight loss techniques, I urge you to reach your healthy weight … You will kill more than 2 birds with 1 stone, guaranteed ?
