The Link Between Weight and Joint Pain

Carrying excess weight is closely associated with joint issues, particularly in vulnerable areas like the knees and lower back. The pressure of gravity can indeed exacerbate conditions such as osteoarthritis, leading to serious realignments and inflammation within the joints. However, this correlation does not solely explain the prevalence of joint pain among individuals of various body types; even active and lean individuals can experience similar discomforts. Instead of solely blaming obesity, it's essential to address the broader issues such as sedentary lifestyles and dietary habits that contribute to overall health degradation.
