Melting Fat Tip: Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

For most kids, rainy days are fun filled days, for adults with arthritis rainy days are another story. Arthritis usually starts and originates in the joints which have joint cartilage to help us move. It helps us move by proving a smooth surface that is about 5 times slicker than ice. Composed of over 80% water, joint cartilage begins to pop, creak, and hurt when the body doesn't have all the water it needs. Over time, as the joint cartilage wears away it can't heal as quickly and that is when arthritis really sets in. How does this tip help you burn fat? By drinking half your body weight in ounces every day you will feel fuller, but another benefit is that you hydrate your joint cartilage and prevent or ease the symptoms of arthritis so you can move without pain. If you can move without pain or reduced pain, then you will be more inclined to participate in activities that melt fat away!
