Diet and Exercise Improve Knee Pain Function, Study Says

A  routine of diet and exercise can significantly improve knee pain in sufferers of osteoarthritis, as confirmed by a study published last week.

The study looked at whether diet or exercise alone or a combination of the two produced the best results in reducing knee pain. After an intensive 18 months programme they discovered the following:

• Average weight loss was greater in the diet and exercise group and the diet group (compared with the exercise group)found that:

• The diet and exercise group had less knee pain, better function, faster walking speed, and better physical health-related quality of life

• The diet and exercise and diet groups had greater reductions in Interleukin 6 (a measure of inflammation) levels than those in the exercise group;
