Orlando, FL – March 19, 2015 – Arthritis is a painful condition, and this is why health professionals, as well as many of those who are suffering from it, are finding ways to manage it. While there are several treatment options used nowadays, experts still strongly recommend that sufferers should lose weight. The Arthritis Foundation provides the benefits of weight loss to arthritis sufferers on its website. According to the organization, it can significantly help reduce joint pain and certain health risk associated with obesity.
The American Psychological Association conducted a study and revealed that obesity is at the top of the list of the health challenges faced by the United States today. According to the Journal of American Medical Association, 68 percent of individuals in the country are considered overweight or obese. The good news is that this health issue can be reversed, and if they lose about 5 to 10 pounds, there can be long-term health benefits.
“Experts want to stress that losing weight is never a competition. As long as sufferers continue losing weight, they will be able to reap some health benefits,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
The Arthritis Foundation has discussed some benefits of weight loss among arthritis sufferers on its website. According to them, losing weight can significantly help reduce pressure on the joints. They discussed a study in Arthritis and Rheumatism that used obese and overweight adults who were suffering from knee osteoarthritis. It was found that those who were able to lose one pound of weight removed four pounds of pressure in their knees. This means that losing 10 pounds equates to removing a 40-pound pressure from the knees.
“Weight loss can be a lifelong process, and the more a person becomes healthier, the easier it is for them to live a better quality of life,” said O’Sullivan.
The organization also added that losing weight can help ease pain and inflammation. The University of Paris conducted a study, which was published in the Annals of Rheumatic Disease. It was found that weight loss can potentially reduce pain, enhance function and lessen inflammation levels in the body. Another study suggested that regular exercise, which often results in weight loss, can significantly help reduce pain and arthritis symptoms.
There are other health benefits discussed by the Arthritis Foundation. They also suggest that the use of certain supplements could help alleviate joint pain. Glucosamine supplements are often used by those suffering with arthritis to manage pain and potentially increase mobility (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
