As the years go by, your overall weight will gain less: if you are low in weight in adolescence and adulthood, you will find that it is easier to keep your weight within much more acceptable limits over the years;
Along with weight, you also reduce the risk of many diseases (mainly metabolic and cardiovascular diseases) that being overweight can be a cause. As we live in a time when prevention has become a central element of everyday wellbeing, achieving and maintaining a correct weight means a lot to do for your health.
Following a correct diet, you will eliminate certain qualitative eating disorders that are often associated with obesity. Fighting obesity means fighting bad eating habits that often lead to dangerous disorders. Ordinary daily activities become less strenuous with less weight: the exercise, exertion, and simply tying your shoes together become much more practical with fewer pounds.
As everyone knows, obesity, a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, is one of the main human health problems of the century: weighing a few pounds not only makes us less attractive or makes us feel physically and mentally ill, But it is also a risk factor for many diseases.
In most cases, it is caused by an improper lifestyle (unbalanced diet, high-calorie diet, physical inactivity) and is largely predictable. In many cases, it is even treatable.
It is estimated that 44% of type 2 diabetes cases are due to obesity, 23% of ischemic heart disease cases, and up to 41% of some cancers.
* Type 1 In view of these premises, the body mass index (IMC) (also known as body mass index (BMI)) is used worldwide to define the conditions for overweight and obesity.
To help those who need to lose weight and consequently improve their general quality of life, different strategies can be used depending on the specific circumstances: behavioral interventions, pharmacological treatments, but also surgical interventions. It should be noted, however, that once you return to your original weight, many of the improvements due to weight loss will disappear.
However, the definition of the word “obesity” needs to be analyzed as this term could lead to the temptation of drastic diets, if not within the limits of fasting. Indeed, being overweight or clinically obese means high-calorie intake and low energy expenditure. In order to lose weight in a healthy way, two simultaneous measures are required: reducing calorie intake with a balanced diet and increasing calorie consumption with appropriate exercise. In fact, those who practice physical activity regularly lose weight more easily than those who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
In short, the benefits of adequate weight loss for the person's physical and mental wellbeing are many, including:
- An increase in lean mass and a decrease in fat mass
- Increase the efficiency of the use of fats and carbohydrates in food
- An increase in metabolism and energy consumption even at rest
