?? Take the Weight Off Your Joints—For a Healthier, Happier You! ?? Did you know that every extra pound you carry adds extra stress to your joints—especially your knees, hips, and back? Over time, this can increase the risk of joint pain and conditions like arthritis. But the good news is, small changes can make a big difference in protecting your joint health! Here are some practical tips to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight for happier, healthier joints: 1?? Focus on a Balanced Diet: Incorporate plenty of fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains into your meals. Cutting down on processed foods and sugary drinks can also make a big impact. 2??
