Studies show a strong association between obesity and arthritis with even small reductions in weight significantly affecting the joints. Diet Doc designs individualized hCG diet plans for those who are at risk for weight related arthritis.

Escondido, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/13/2013 --The joints carry the entire weight of the body. Additional weight places added pressure and strain on joints, oftentimes causing pain and discomfort. Even small reductions in weight can significantly affect the joints. With normal walking, joint forces in the hips and knees increase approximately 3 times that of one's weight. Simply put, this means that a person who is 15 pounds overweight increases the strain on the knees by approximately 45 pounds. Although thin people may also suffer from arthritis, and some heavy people may not; overall, research reveals a strong association between the development of arthritis and obesity. Studies also show that those with a high BMI (body mass index) tend to develop arthritis at a younger age and that undergoing joint replacement early in one's life may complicate treatment because the replacement is more likely to wear out in the patient's lifetime.

Losing weight may not reverse the damage that has been done to a joint, but even moderate weight loss can have a dramatic effect on the relief of joint pain. While losing enough excess weight to be within normal bodily ranges is a good idea, starting with reasonable goals like losing 10 or 20 pounds has been shown to significantly help with joint pain, as well as avoiding the risk of developing arthritis, with studies revealing that a weight loss of 11 pounds decreases that risk by 50%. Although joint replacement therapy is an option for some, obesity also has a negative effect on this procedure posing an increased risk of infection, blood clots and dislocation after hip replacement, as well as longer periods of anesthesia and extended recovery periods.

Obesity ranks very high as a preventable condition and also ranks high among the greatest challenges facing millions of Americans.
