Slowing weight gain to reduce joint pain

Being overweight is bad for the joints. It is really hard to lose weight, even though many women with joint pain are advised to do so. Most adults gain about half a kilogram per year, which adds up over the years. The good news is that slowing this weight gain can reduce joint pain and have other health benefits.
