Maintenance of a healthy body weight is
important for maintaining both physical and emotional well-being and
preventing disease. Excess weight and obesity have been associated with
an increased risk for numerous medical conditions, including
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
stroke,
diabetes,
osteoarthritis,
some types of cancers,
sleep apnea,
elevated blood cholesterol levels.
It should be noted that reduction in weight for those who are overweight
can make a major impact on the conditions listed above. Many overweight
people also report improved mood, increased in self-esteem and
motivation, and feeling healthier in general after they have lost
weight.
