WEIGHT LOSS
Why is it important to lose weight if overweight or obese?
Being overweight or obese is a potentially serious health concern. Your organs and musculoskeletal system were designed to handle a certain amount of weight, and putting extra stress on them can lead to a variety of complications with your health, like:
- Gallbladder disease
- Stroke
- Sleep apnea
- High blood pressure
- Liver disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Certain cancers
- Pregnancy complications
- Heart disease
- Depression
When you’re too heavy for your body, it puts more strain on your organs, joints, and bones, while having excess fat in your system affects your hormone levels and metabolism while increasing the amount of inflammation in your body.
A weight loss program at Dr. Rogers Centers can reduce your risk of chronic disease or other complications and improve your overall health long term.
