1. Maintain a Healthy Body Weight
Research has shown that during walking the hips, knees, and ankles bear three to five times a person's total body weight. That means that for every pound a person is overweight, three to five pounds of extra weight is added to each knee during walking.
In contrast, a ten-pound weight loss causes 30 to 50 pounds of extra stress to be relieved from the joints. Studies have indicated that losing extra weight not only relieves pain but also slows the progression of and lowers the risk for developing osteoarthritis of the knee.

2. Exercise
Avoiding exercise reduces muscle strength, mobility and overall energy, and increases joint stiffness. Studies have shown that stronger muscles help support and protect joints.
According to researchers at Wake Forest University, an exercise fitness program can not only alleviate pain but can also help people with osteoarthritis remain more independent in their daily activities, like getting out of bed, tying their shoes, and getting dressed.
