Answer to Question 1

Answer: Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease. Reducing body weight reduces the load that joints are required to move, and therefore the pressure, thereby reducing pain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Carpal tunnel syndrome is an irritation of the median nerve in the wrist, which results in pain, numbness, or tingling sensations in the fingers and hands. It is often caused by repetitive motion while using computers or performing other tasks that require repeated hand and wrist movements.
