Weight Management Q&A
What health concerns can being overweight cause?
Carrying excess weight can increase the risk of several severe health conditions. Some of the most common concerns include:
Heart disease and high blood pressure
Extra weight puts strain on the heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension.
Type 2 diabetes
Excess body fat, especially around the abdomen, can lead to insulin resistance, which raises blood sugar levels.
Joint pain and arthritis
Extra weight adds pressure on your joints, particularly in the knees and hips, leading to pain and mobility issues.
Sleep apnea and breathing issues
Fat deposits around your neck can obstruct airways, causing interrupted breathing during sleep.
Mental health concerns
Being overweight can contribute to anxiety, depression, and lower self-esteem.
Why is weight management so important?
Keeping your weight within a healthy range can enhance your overall well-being in the following ways:
- Lower the risk of chronic diseases
- Improve mobility and reduce joint pain
- Boost energy levels and enhance daily functioning
- Reduce the risk of sleep apnea and improve sleep quality
- Enhance mental health, self-confidence, and overall quality of life
Even modest weight loss — just 5-10% of body weight — can significantly improve health outcomes.
