Weight Management
Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health and can help you prevent and control many diseases and conditions.
Having a body weight that is higher than normal (overweight or obese) increases your risk of diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. Dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior changes can help you lose weight.
