Take a load off your joints — don’t replace them!

If you’re carrying extra weight, the dog days of summer can be especially hard.

The heat makes you feel sluggish… and the humidity can do a number on your joints.

It can seem like the pain will NEVER let up!

But if the pain is so bad that you’ve started to consider getting that replacement surgery your doc has recommended, it’s important that you hear the latest news — especially if you’re on the heavier side.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have found that the more overweight you are, the worse your complications after joint replacement surgery will be.

And that’s especially true after an operation to replace your shoulder.

The researchers looked at over 40 years of data on over 4,500 people who had shoulder replacement surgeries. Forty-three percent of those patients were considered obese — with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.

In the obese patients, the initial surgery FAILED in more than 300 of them — due to mechanical failure, loosening of the implant, or other causes — which meant they needed to go under the knife AGAIN for ANOTHER complete replacement surgery.

Although they didn’t need a do-over of the entire shoulder replacement procedure, another 62 patients had enough problems with their implant to send them back into the operating room to try to correct problems with it.

The researchers say that if you’re obese, ANY joint replacement is a HUGE risk. And any additional weight gain means your risk of SERIOUS complications — including possibly another operation — goes up another 5 percent!

Now, sometimes joint replacement surgery is necessary — but I’d only recommend it under the most EXTREME circumstances.

Because most times, your joint health is tied to how much you weigh — and shedding a few pounds can do wonders in terms of relieving the pressure on the joints that are most commonly replaced (including knees and hips, as well as shoulders).

But that’s not all you can do to lose weight and improve your joint health. You can also:

  1. Rebuild the cartilage in your joints: Take a supplement of glucosamine and chondroitin, a dynamic duo that you can find pretty affordably at your local health food store or online.
  2. Stay active: Studies show that just 30 minutes of physical activity a day can work like WD-40 for your joints — and it’ll help you take any excess weight off, to boot.
  3. Channel your inner “caveman”: Following the Paleo diet — which consists of fresh fish, meat, eggs, and dairy, as well as plenty of vegetables and nuts — can help reduce painful joint inflammation AND trim your waistline.

These three simple changes will keep you OFF of that operating table… OUT of the hospital… and ON the right track to staying that way!
