Dear Komal
My knees and hips hurt a lot.
This has increased after WFH.
I have gained weight too, from 65 kgs to 73 kgs in the last year.
How can I reduce the knee pain and get back to my original weight.
I don’t eat too much junk but I have a sweet tooth.

Ans: Lack of movement can cause stiffness in the joints and thus pain on movement.
You need to include strengthening exercises, build bone density and include Calcium and vitamin D rich foods in your diet.
Being overweight is the prime cause of pressure on the knees which may lead to osteoarthritis, so maintain a healthy weight.
Include more protein foods, high fibre and low fat in your diet.
Make an effort to be physically active and reduce body fat percentage.
