According to research from the National Academy of Medicine, even modest weight loss can significantly reduce stress on the joints. Studies show that losing just 10 pounds can relieve approximately 40 pounds of pressure from your knees, easing discomfort and improving mobility. This reduction in joint load not only helps prevent pain but also decreases the risk of developing osteoarthritis over time. Maintaining a healthy weight, therefore, plays a crucial role in preserving joint health and overall physical function.
