Our joints start to degenerate as we age, making this the number one factor in developing Knee Osteoarthritis. However, being overweight forces our body onto our knees by putting some pressure in our joints. Excess of body fat can destroy joints. For this matter, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is the number-one preventable option in avoiding osteoarthritis of the knee.
Dr. Manuel Sanchez continuously advices his patient’s to follow a healthier lifestyle such as:
Eat Healthily
A good and healthy diet will not only help you lose weight but will also improve your health. There is a lot of information online regarding what foods you should be eating during the day. However, it is important that you consult with any of our clinicians prior to starting your diet. You may not be aware of the reactions of certain foods can happen with your body. Or which type of diet will benefit your condition and health. You can always go back to our article “Fiber Rich Diet Against Knee Osteoarthritis Pain” to learn more about osteoarthritis diet.
