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.

Common questions
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.
Which foods are sensible to emphasise?
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.
Do I need special supplements?
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.
How does weight affect knee pain?
Extra body weight increases the force through the knee with every step. Even a modest, steady loss can make walking and stairs more comfortable.
