your knees.

Obesity is a top cause of
knee and hip osteoarthritis.
It speeds up wear and tear
in joint cartilage.

Chronic Inflammation
Fat cells release chemicals
that cause joint inflammation.
This increases the risk of
conditions like rheumatoid
arthritis.

Reduced Mobility and Muscle Support
More weight = less activity =
weaker muscles.
Weak muscles can't protect
your joints — causing more
pain.
