[quote=Anonymous]Every pound of weight on the body puts 4-6x the weight in terms of pressure on the knee joints, feet, and the back which absorbs all the impacts of movement except in a flotation situation - this is why swimming and aqua fitness classes are highly recommended by PTs and doctors for older people and overweight people.

And body fat is inflammatory, even if you don’t have an autoimmune condition that is diagnosable. Inflammation is essentially an autoimmune process in the body.

Diet is also a big factor in causing inflammation: “Foods that are linked to an inflammatory response include:  saturated fats which are found in animal products, such as red meat and whole fat dairy products; trans fats which are found in fried foods and baked goods such as pastries, pizza dough, pie crust, cookies and crackers; omega-6 polyunsaturated fats which are found in corn, safflower, soybean and sunflower oils, and are often found in many packaged foods; and sugar, which is the biggest enemy in the inflammation battle.”

Clean up your diet as much as you can to get relief from inflammatory pain. Hydrate, get regular exercise, and eat as many colorful whole plant foods as you can as they contain antioxidants which can neutralize the inflammation process in the body.

Food is medicine, and calories are not the most important factor- it’s the quality of what you consume.[/quote]
