As people age, knee pain is an issue that makes life difficult, especially when the pain restricts one's mobility. The knees support the body when standing upright, and any excess weight that you carry, like being overweight, increases the load your knees have to support. According to Mayo Clinic, this can lead to long-term knee pain and cartilaginous breakdown. Weight loss, can have significant effects on knee pressure. For every 1 pound of weight loss, there is 4 pounds reduction in knee joint load or knee pressure.
