Obesity, weight loss, and knee problems

Hi! This is an alternative way i would share to you that will help you to loose weight in a natural way and your body organs will keep healthy. This is a weight management program(they called it RESET) by USANA. About your knee cartilage problem i will suggest to take also PROCOSA it is a food supplement(also a USANA products) that is good for the cartilage, it will repair the damaged cartilage. Check my website: http://francisk.usana.com...additional info: www.usana.com/RESET Thanks and Have a great day ahead!

I'm not sure about the scientific answers to your questions, but I do know that water aerobics and swimming is a really good low impact way to start losing weight without aggravating your knee. Maybe the people on the biggest loser have been more sedentary than you so it hasn't effected their joints as much. I don't think cartilage heals. I think they have to go in and replace stuff surgically to fix it. Hopefully you find the answers you want!

Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can’t go into a full lecture about yoga over here but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist.

I think the best thing you can do is first start with your diet... control your consumption of fatty and high-calorie containing food. By doing this, you can control the intake of fat and calories that highly contribute to your obesity. Eat more fruits (fibrous)and veggies. Then you can do simple yet effective exercises, like for example, some stretching exercises, walking at a certain distance (you can do this with your dog), a little push ups and sit ups (not to the extent that you hurt yourself),or you can go to a sauna to help you burn some fats (sauna is very beneficial to human health). These are simple exercises i can suggest so that you won't stress your knees too much yet there are other exercises available that you can do. Other people also experience chondromalacia because of their obesity, this is common to obese people since their body weight exceeds the tolerable weight their lower body can carry ( specially the knee) thus affecting the cartilages on the knees and later develop pain in the said area.
