Hi lybrate-user its gud to see you more concern abt your mom's health. I would not recommend you fitness centres as it just a commercial way to reduce weight nd hence temporary your mother can loose weight by having healthy diet nd exercise, first of all she has to increase fluid in her diet as well as she can only eat green dal washed or dehusked nd 1-1/2 katori not more than that & any other dal or pulses shld b avoided in her diet. U can also recommend some gud physiotherapist for treating arthritis. Hope you get answer of your question. Nd for any other nutritional advise or diet chart you can consult Mr. any tym using private consultant option. Take care of urself nd your mom dear. Have a gud day. It was nice answering your question. See you later.

Hello, She can simply start with mid walks. Include fruits like cherries, oranges,pineapples in her diet. Wholegrains consumption should be encouraged and make sure she is avoiding all the refined and bakery products. Weight reduction is the must ,as that will imply minimal pressure on her knees. Consult a local knee and joint specialist for the supplement part. Drinking 2.5 litres of water will also help her improve her condition.

For the knees pain, your mom needs to take a supplement containing glucosamine that will help her release the knee pain. Then start giving her low calorie fruits and vegetables as mid morning snacks. Let her have enough fluids and atleast a serving of protein in at least 3 of her major meals. This should help her with loss initially?. You can chat with me personally for further details.
