“I’m trying to lose weight, but I can’t exercise because my knees and hips hurt.” Sound like you? Extra pounds cause extra stress on muscles and joints. Losing even a few pounds can help. Here’s three great ways to lose the weight and the pain:
1. Plant-Based or Mediterranean Diet
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, and moderate amounts of nuts, olive oil and fish to lose weight and reduce inflammation.
2. Low-Impact Exercise
Walking, biking, aquatics, low-impact aerobics, and exercising on an anti-gravity treadmill (yes, we have one!), lets you increase activity and decrease pain.
3. Meditative Movement
Qigong, yoga, Pilates, and tai chi are easy on the joints and help improve range of motion, flexibility and balance. Plus, they can help you stress less and sleep better, which promotes weight loss and pain reduction.
Wow! Thank you! I permanently needed to write on my website something like that. Can I take a portion of your post to my blog? Rebecka Reginauld Golden
Having read this I thought it was very enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile! Tedi Dunstan Cochard
