Weight loss tied to structural joint improvement in osteoarthritis patients

loraq — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 18:13:34 +0000

For obese patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, weight loss can do more than increase mobility and lessen pain – it can also lead to structural improvements in damaged joints, according to two separate studies. Pascal Richette, MD, of Lariboisiere Hospital in Paris, reports that in 44 obese patients whose body mass index fell by an average of 20 percent, knee pain and stiffness scores fell by half, and some biomarkers of joint erosion also showed significant improvements. A study by Ana Ananda, PhD, of Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Australia, followed 78 obese patients participating in weight loss programs. Her study revealed similar outcomes, pointing to the fact that weight loss decreases knee pain and stiffness while also improving knee articular cartiledge structure and quality.

In a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical study of subjects diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee, Citrofen® was shown to not only yield anti-inflammatory benefits, but also promote loss of body weight. Learn more about Citrofen.

A Consumer Reports survey reveals that more than 80 percent of sexually active Americans have avoided sex in the past year. Their top six reasons include being too tired, not feeling well, not being in the mood, needing to care for children or pets, needing to work, or preferring to watch TV or a movie. Nearly all of these reasons are tied to stress, and as Next Pharmaceuticals’ “Stress in the City” report shows, more than half of all adults in American urban areas indicate they have less sex when stressed. This research points to the importance of stress management through factors such as diet, exercise and natural supplements such as Relora®, which is proven to alleviate stress and help calm the mind and body.

Increased stress hormones hinder weight loss efforts

loraq — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:07:12 +0000

Trying to lose weight can increase stress without the dieter realizing it, according to a recent article in USA Today. A study led by Janet Tomiyama at the University of California-San Francisco found that people who restrict calories have an increased level of the stress hormone cortisol. Participants who cut calories had higher levels of cortisol than before they started the plan and higher levels than non-dieters in the study. Tomiyama says, “Anything you can do to decrease your stress when dieting is a good idea.”

In addition to raised cortisol, stress can have a negative impact on diets in a myriad of other ways, such as increasing desire for comfort foods and impeding the ability to get a good night’s sleep. The premier all-natural, anti-stress dietary supplement Relora has been shown to alleviate stress and stress-related eating while promoting weight management. Its unique blend of extracts from the bark of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense acts to calm the mind and body. Visit Relora.com for more information.

More than half also indicate they have less sex than usual when they are stressed out, and in particular, women are significantly more likely to report having less sex when stressed.
