The Weird Arthritis and Weight Loss Connection (different from what many might think)

The Weird Arthritis and Weight Loss
Connection (different from what many
might think)
One of the problems with
arthritis is that because it limits
people’s mobility, they move
less and are therefore at
increased risk of weight gain.
This often leads to severe
disability.
Therefore, the obvious solution is to lose weight. Right?
Not so fast, says a new study recently published in the journal Arthritis
Care & Research. This study investigated the link between weight and
disability due to arthritis.
At the beginning of the study, researchers expected to find that the
most obese people were the most likely to suffer from arthritis that
was related disability. They assumed that weight loss would be an
effective treatment to halt the development of this disease.
They analyzed the medical data of 23,323 people with rheumatoid
arthritis in the National Data Bank of Rheumatic Diseases, and of 1,697
arthritis sufferers in the Veterans Affairs RA registry.
Disability was measured according to the participant’s responses on the
health assessment questionnaire.
When their details were first entered into these databases, it was found
that those people who were obese would be substantially more likely
than those who were overweight to suffer from arthritis-related
disability.
In subsequent years, it was found that those who were obese were also
much more likely than those who were overweight to develop such
disabilities.
Where the study became surprising, however, was with the role of
weight loss.
If obesity is the problem, then weight loss is the solution. Right?
Wrong.
Oddly enough, those who shed their weight did not benefit at all, and
still experienced an increased risk of disability compared with people
who were never obese or overweight to start with.
The reason is that if you do not reverse your arthritis (and the
traditional medical system has no idea how), you cannot get your
mobility back even if you lose weight.
Fortunately, it is relatively easy to reverse arthritis naturally using the
three steps found here…
The study also shows that it is important to lose weight before you
experience too much disability.
The problem is that most diets and workouts do not work because
they ignore the “third element of weight loss.” I will explain this third
element here and show you how to use it to put your weight loss on
autopilot…
