Benefits of losing weight
Losing weight can have remarkable benefits for both your physical and mental health. Weight loss can reduce cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure – as well as your risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer. Often, weight loss improves health conditions you may have, like sleep apnea and arthritis, and it can also prevent future illnesses, like type 2 diabetes.
Many patients find that their new lifestyle brings renewed energy and activity levels, higher self-esteem and a greater sense of overall health and well-being.
