Why is controlling weight and avoiding obesity important?
Overweight people are exposed to the risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and certain types of cancer and gallbladder disease. Many times, when overweight people lose even small amounts of weight, they often see improvements in their health. People feel good when they have control over their weight, also more confidence, self-esteem and a sense of well-being. A reduced calorie intake together with an increase in physical exercise is essential for weight loss.
