Excess weight increases the strain on weight-bearing joints, leading to wear and tear and heightened risk of conditions like osteoarthritis. Conversely, being underweight can result in lower bone mineral density and heightened fracture risk. A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, combined with regular exercises such as swimming and resistance training, supports bone strength and joint health. Weight management can alleviate joint pain and improve mobility. Consulting healthcare professionals can aid in developing strategies to achieve and sustain a healthy weight, ensuring long-term mobility and comfort.
