Why Healthy Weight Matters

Dropping some unneeded pounds matters, even if it's only a few. The Mayo Clinic reports that losing between 5 and 10 percent of your body weight can lower blood pressure, enhance the way your body burns sugars, improve your cholesterol levels, and even better your mood. Losing this amount of weight also reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, sleep disorders, some types of cancer, back pain, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, gout, and osteoarthritis of the spine, hips, and knees.
