The number-one secret for happy knees? Stay at a
healthy weight. Every extra pound you pack on
puts about 4 extra pounds of pressure on your
knees when you walk or take the stairs. "Women
often come in complaining of knee pain, and it
turns out it started after they put on just 5 or 10
pounds," says Sara Edwards, MD, an orthopedic
surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in
Chicago. Once you shed that excess weight,
though, symptoms improveand sometimes even
disappear.
