Our patients who are interested in weight reduction have a variety of reasons for wanting to make this change in their lives. We would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you some of the positive effects that weight loss may have on one’s health.
1. Beneficial To One’s Cardiovascular System
The robust muscle that makes up your heart is responsible for ensuring that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to all of the organs and tissues located throughout your body. According to experts Medicine, carrying more body weight causes additional stress on your heart, which may also cause injury to the muscle of your heart.
Losing weight not only lowers the statistics that indicate high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol in your body, but it also lowers the amount of stress and strain that your heart is under, which in turn lowers the likelihood that you may have heart failure.
2. Decreases The Likelihood Of Developing Diabetes
If you are overweight, you have a three times greater chance of developing diabetes than if you is at a normal weight. Normal weight people have a one in 200 chance of developing diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic illness that raises your chance of developing other major health problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and neuropathy. Diabetes itself is a chronic health condition.
Your blood sugar levels will improve and you will have a decreased chance of getting diabetes if you can get your weight under control. People who have diabetes and who lose weight may see improvements in their blood sugar values as well as a reduction in their chance of acquiring related health issues.
3. Contributes To The Better Overall Health Of The Joints
Along with your heart, excess body weight places stress and pressure on your joints, which in turn raises the likelihood that you may develop joint problems such as arthritis. Losing weight relieves the strain that is now being placed on your joints, alleviates the aches and pains that you are experiencing, and may minimize the likelihood that you may develop a disease that causes chronic pain.
4. Improves Sleep
There is a clear link between being overweight and having a lower quality of sleep. The Sleep Foundation suggests that being overweight might disrupt both your metabolism and your natural pattern of sleeping and wake up. It’s possible that if you lose weight, your circadian rhythm will be adjusted, allowing you to enjoy a more restful night’s sleep.
Changing how you spend your time sleeping may help you feel more in control of your eating and exercise routines, as well as your physical appearance. A lack of sleep results in an increase in the synthesis of hormones that stimulate the appetite, which in turn leads to excessive eating and weight gain. It is possible that maintaining control over your appetite and eating habits will be easier for you if you get the recommended amount of sleep each night, which is between 7 and 9 hours.
5. Boosts Energy Levels
Your attempts to lose weight may offer you more energy in addition to improving the quality of your sleep, reducing the amount of discomfort you experience, and improving your perception of how well you are doing overall. Eating healthily and engaging in regular physical activity both contribute, in their ways, to an increased desire on your part to get up and move around.
6. Raise Your Spirits To A Higher Level
Your emotional well-being will benefit from the healthy habits that we will help you develop to shed those extra pounds successfully. When you exercise, the hormones in your body that make you feel good are released, which instantly improves your mood. In addition, engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to lower levels of stress and anxiety.
