Joints enable us to move our bodies. If our skeletons were made up of only straight, immovable bones, we wouldn't even have the option of walking, or sitting, or hugging, or dancing. We'd be "stiff as a board".

The joints are cushioned and protected by tissue called cartilage. The presence of overweight or obesity may cause a condition called osteoarthritis, commonly called "wear and tear" arthritis because it is typically the result of excessive pressure on joints and cartilage. Increased body fat erodes the joints and their protective tissue, the cartilage, and causes pain, immobility, and disfigurement. Fat also increases inflammation which may also contribute to the development of arthritis.

A loss of five to ten percent of your body will lessen pressure on the joints and cartilage and reduce inflammation. This will result in a reduced risk of osteoarthritis.
