About the Treatment

Diet and nutrition

Food choices and a healthier weight can support knee care. Diet does not cure arthritis.

Extra weight adds load to the knee with every step. A steady, balanced diet, enough calcium and vitamin D, and enough water support general health alongside the rest of treatment.

What it is

Everyday meals that help with weight and joint comfort. No special product is required.

How it works

Less load on the knee often means less pain on standing and walking. Change is gradual.

Who it is for

People with knee pain who want food and weight to support their treatment.

Key Benefits

Reduces Pain

No single food cures arthritis. A healthier weight can ease the load on the knee.

Improves Mobility

Lighter load can make walking and stairs more comfortable.

Balanced meals

Steady change

A steady change is easier to keep than a crash diet.

Supports a healthier weight

Works with other care

Frequently Asked Questions

Can diet cure knee arthritis?

No single food cures arthritis. A balanced diet helps you reach a healthier weight, which reduces load on the knee, and supports your general health.

Build meals around vegetables, fruit, dals, whole grains, curd, and enough protein from eggs, fish, paneer, or pulses. Limit sugary drinks, fried snacks, and extra salt.

Most patients do not need expensive joint supplements. Vitamin D or another deficiency is treated only when a blood test shows that it is low.

Extra body weight increases the force through the knee with every step. Even a modest, steady loss can make walking and stairs more comfortable.
