Unintentional Loss of Weight
A declining appetite because of arthritis eventually results in involuntary and unintentional weight loss. The decrease in weight is primarily prevalent in ages beyond fifty years living with this chronic and progressive disease. Even if the person does not try to lose weight, a drop in body weight is apparent to people who have arthritis (especially with rheumatism).
Although weight loss for obese persons with arthritis helps ease the pains caused by weight pressure on the joints, a sudden significant drop in weight for normally healthy persons can be a serious indicator of arthritis triggering other kinds of illnesses in the body, such as heart problems and diabetes.
Because of fatigue and the feeling of tiredness, along with loss of appetite, weight loss is to be expected. However, drastic changes in body mass are a symptom of severe rheumatism. Therefore, synthetic and holistic remedies may help prevent more damage to the person’s overall welfare. Food supplements can also aid in restoring appetite and creating a better balance in the body.
