Weight Loss Specialist

Why is maintaining a healthy weight important?

Being overweight or obese is linked to over 50 different diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and infertility. Carrying extra weight is also hard on your joints and can make conditions like arthritis more painful than if you maintain a healthy weight.

These conditions can have a significant negative impact on your quality of life and lead to disruptive symptoms and serious health problems. Many people think about losing weight to look better, but getting rid of extra pounds also provides a wide range of health benefits.
