There is a great
benefit acquired from losing weight.
Though losing weight is not easy,
the long term effects brought by it would probably be of help to anyone
considering to shed those unwanted and unhealthy pounds.
The following are a few of the remarkable advantages of losing those excess weight.
Weight loss
prevents high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke
That is a three
in one benefit from losing weight. It is
a fact that heart disease and stroke are one of the primary reasons for
disability and death in both men and women in the US. People who are overweight have a higher risk
to have high levels of cholesterol in their bloodstream as well as
triglycerides (also known as blood fat).
Angina, one type
of heart disease, could cause chest pains as well as a decrease in the oxygen
pumped to the heart.
Sudden death also
occurs from heart disease and stroke, and usually this strikes with very little
warning, signs, and symptoms.
It is a fact that
by decreasing your weight by a mere five to ten percent, this could positively
decrease the chances of you having or developing heart disease or a
stroke. Plus, how your heart functions
would also improve as well as your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride
count will decrease.
Weight loss
prevents type 2 diabetes
Diabetes puts in
jeopardy one’s life as well as how one leads his or her life because of the
complications that result from having it.
Both types of diabetes, type one and type two are linked with being
overweight. To those who already have
diabetes, regular exercise and losing weight could help in controlling your
blood sugar levels as well as the medication you may be currently taking. Increase your physical activity. You could simply walk, jog or dance. It helps get those blood streams moving as
well as lose those unnecessary pounds.
Weight loss helps
reduce your risk for cancer
Being overweight
is linked with a number of kinds of cancer.
Especially for women, the common types of cancer that are associated with
being overweight include cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, ovary, breast, and
colon. This is not meant to scare you,
this is only to keep you informed. Men
are at risk too from developing cancer if they are overweight. These include cancer of the colon, prostate, and rectum. Extra weight, a diet high in fat and
cholesterol should as much as possible be avoided.
Weight loss
reduces sleep apnea
Or it could
eliminate it altogether. Sleep apnea
is a condition wherein one could temporarily stop breathing for a brief period
and then would continue to snore heavily.
Sleep apnea could cause drowsiness or sleepiness during the day and –
because of being overweight – could result in heart failure. Shedding those excess pounds could help in
eliminating this problem.
Weight loss
reduces the pain of osteoarthritis
When one weighs
heavily, the joints of his or her knees,
hips and lower back would have to exert double – if not triple – effort to
carry him or her throughout his / her waking, walking and moving life. This could cause tension and stress on these
joints. Weight loss decreases the load
these joints carry thus decreasing – if not eliminating – the pain of one who
has osteoarthritis.
