Are your knees hurting because of your weight?
Obesity can silently damage your joints every single day.

Every extra kilogram of body weight increases 3–4 times pressure on your knees, hips, and spine — leading to knee pain, hip pain, and back pain.
This extra stress can cause:
✔ Early wear of cartilage
✔ Early arthritis
Obesity also increases inflammation in the body, which further worsens joint damage and reduces mobility.
But the good news is — even a small amount of weight loss can reduce joint pain and improve movement.
Take care of your body and maintain a healthy weight before joint damage becomes permanent.
Healthy weight means healthier joints and a better quality of life.”
