Approximately 50% of adults attempt to losing weight each year. Reasons and motivations for weight loss can vary, but health is usually at the top of the list. It is a well-known fact that weight affects health. Losing just 5% of his current weight will improve his physical, emotional and mental health. Health Solutions medical experts know how difficult weight loss can be. This is because there is no single diet or weight loss tool that works for everyone. To help patients lose and maintain weight, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs and plans to meet individual health needs and weight goals. Our weight loss patients have many reasons to lose weight. Here I would like to share some of the health benefits of losing weight.
The mission of Allied Pharmacy is to improve patient health through a rigorous commitment to excellence. This is accomplished by educating and engaging patients.
Good for your heart
The heart is a powerful muscle that circulates oxygenated blood to all organs and tissues throughout the body. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, carrying extra weight puts extra strain on your heart, damaging your muscles and increasing your risk of heart failure. In addition to lowering high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol levels, weight loss reduces the stress and strain on the heart and also reduces the risk of heart failure.
Reduces risk of diabetes
An overweight person is three times more likely to develop diabetes than a normal weight person. Diabetes is a chronic health condition that increases your risk of developing other serious health problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and neuropathy. Losing weight can lower your blood sugar levels and reduce your risk of developing diabetes. Weight loss in diabetics improves blood sugar levels, which in turn improves the risk of developing related health conditions.
Improve joint health
Just like your heart, excess weight puts stress and strain on your joints, increasing your risk of developing joint diseases such as arthritis. Losing weight can reduce the stress on your joints, relieve your current pain, and reduce your risk of developing a chronic pain condition.
Improve sleep
There is a strong association between weight and poor sleep quality. Obesity can affect your metabolism and sleep-wake cycle, according to the Sleep Foundation. Losing weight resets your sleep cycle and helps you sleep better at night. Improving your sleep habits will also improve your ability to control your weight. Lack of sleep increases the production of appetite-stimulating hormones that trigger overeating and weight gain. Getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep each night will help you manage hunger and eating habits.
Increase Energy Levels
Weight loss efforts can also boost energy, with better sleep, less pain, and a better overall sense of well-being. A healthy diet and regular exercise also contribute to increased desire to exercise.
Lift your spirits
The healthy habits we use to shed those unwanted pounds also benefit our mental health. When you exercise, your body releases feel-good chemicals that instantly boost your mood.. Additionally, regular exercise reduces stress and anxiety.
Improve self-esteem and self-confidence
One of the reasons we want to lose weight is my appearance. Even if you lose a few pounds, you’ll feel better and your self-esteem and confidence will increase. From your heart to your joints to your mood, weight loss benefits your overall health and well-being. Let us help you reach your weight goals.
