Amazing Ancient Weight Loss Method That Works
At First lets take a short look at what happens during knuckle crack in our fingers.
Knuckle Crack:
At a joint, where two bones meet, there is a covering of articular cartilage. The bones are held together by other connective tissues like ligaments as well. The joint capsule surrounds the joint, containing the lubrication to help move the joint. This lubrication is called sinovial fluid, and it is made from dissolved oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
To crack a knuckle, you first stretch the bones apart, creating extra space in the connective tissue capsule. The increased volume decreases the pressure, and the sinovial fluid expands. The pressure also releases the dissolved gasses rapidly, causing the cracks. Bubbles bursting in the sinovial fluid are called cavitation, and it happens when the gasses become less soluble in the fluid.
After you crack your joints the first time, you won’t be able to do it again for the next 30 minutes while the gas dissolves back into the joint fluid. Try it out—30 minutes later, you will definitely be able to pop the same joints again. Releasing the pressure feels great, doesn’t it? The only real problem or damage that cracking joints could cause comes from forceful cracking—so just do it when you feel the pressure building.
Numerous studies have shown that cracking knuckles do not lead to arthritis, but there is a relationship between knuckle-cracking and hand swelling, loss of lower grip strength, ligament damage, soft tissue injuries and dislocation of tendons. This is really only the result of rapid, repeated stretching of ligaments, like what happens to major league pitchers. Risk is minimal for the rest of us, however.
There is evidence that cracking does increase mobility in joints, though! When joints are cracked, the Golgi tendon organs (a group of nerve endings involved in human motion sense) get stimulated and relax nearby muscles.

Weight Loss:
Surprisingly there was an ancient greek method through which few believed that weight loss could be attained through knuckles crack. But yes, they had their own strategies and limitations in performing that.They said repeating knuckles crack 10 times in all 10 fingers at the same time nearly 400 gms of weight could be lost. Amazing isn't it!
Their basic concept was not just losing weight through physical activities but also strongly belived in the mental vibrations.Before a person dives into weight loss methods, his mind is to be trained for it. Training doesn't mean the method he is to follow but the end-result he would recieve either successful or NOT.
May be being the simplest method they thought it wouldn't pressurise the people's mind doing hard work outs and fail at the end depressing them.When coming to the limitations, too much knuckle crackling could lead to severe problems. Thus atmost care is required while trying this out.so It is not advisable to try it more than once in a day.
