Weight Loss

Why should I consider weight loss?

Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for a wide range of chronic diseases, including:

• Stroke
• Arthritis
• Heart disease
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Certain types of cancer
• Sleep apnea and other sleep disorders

Your weight can also play a role in your mental health and increase your risk factors for conditions like anxiety and depression.

Losing even a small amount of weight takes the pressure off your organs and joints. Achieving a healthy body weight can also alleviate persistent pain, boost your energy levels, and improve your mental clarity.
