What is the best way to maintain a healthy weight?
Research suggests that regular physical activity is key to managing ones weight over the long term. Aerobic exercise (e.g. walking, running, biking, swimming) burns calories and increases resting metabolism. Resistance training (E.g. lifting weights) helps to build active muscle tissue which burns more calories than fat tissue. Being mindful of the calories you consume from food is also important. Research suggests that subtracting 100 calories a day could go a long way toward helping you manage your weight, whether it is done by cutting out 100 calories from food, or burning 100 calories by doing more physical activity.
