Many people think weight gain only affects their appearance. In reality, your knees are often the body parts that pay the highest price.

• The knee bears up to 80% of your body weight.
• When walking, the force exerted on the knee can reach 150% of your body weight or more.
• A person weighing 80 kg may place 240–320 kg of pressure on their knees with every step.

Excess weight doesn't just increase mechanical stress on the joints—it also raises the risk of:

•  Early knee osteoarthritis
•  Arthritis, chronic inflammation, and persistent pain
•  Reduced mobility and difficulty walking
•  Muscle, bone, and foot-related problems

The good news is that for every 1 kg of weight lost, the load on your knees can decrease by approximately 3–4 kg. That is why maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective ways to protect your knee joints, reduce pain, and preserve mobility.
