Answers:
Excess weight definitely causes more muscle strains especially with fat bellies. The posture needed to balance off the weight in front and at the back wld put more strain so reducing will definitely help.
Excess weight gain is also a sign of water shortage in the body. Fats and water don't mix. The body consists of 70-75% water and if this ratio is decreased, more fats will occupy on the places where water shld be. So taking adequate volume of water in the body cld help reduce fat. Water is a good catalyst for fat metabolism too.
When there is a shortage of water, the body releases histamine, a neurotransmitter, that when attached to pain receptors will cause the pain sensation. This cld also be the factor why ur mom has persistent.pains. The shortage of water in the body cld be caused by lack of intake or by taking in dehydrating substances like coffee, tea, sodas, alcoholic beverages and chocolates. So avoid them. When dehydrated is corrected, the histamine level decreases and so pain subsides.
The best way to hydrate is: Determine the weight in lbs. Divide it by 2. The answer is the total volume of water in ounces required daily. Example: If the weight is 100 lbs, the total volume daily requirement will be 50 ounces. Give the water as follows: 1/4 total volume upon waking up in the morning and also at bedtime, 1/8 total volume half hr before meals and also 2 and a half hrs after meals, the remaining 1/4 total volume when thirsty like during meals or anytime when thirsty. Replace every urination with 8 ounces water. For better water retention, add 1/4 tsp sea salt to every 1 quart of water. Salt holds water and so will hydrate the body more efficiently. If swelling develops, stop salt for 2 days and then resume it when swelling subsides.
Hope this helps.
