While we do not believe people should feel they have to look like professional athletes or models, how much you weigh is important because many health issues can arise from carrying excess weight. Excess weight can lead to increased risk of:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Arthritis
- Certain types of cancers
A healthy weight helps minimise these risks. It can also make it easier to lead an active lifestyle and makes you feel better about how you look. Eating a healthy diet together with plenty of physical activity can also help slow the aging process.
Even a small weight loss (of 3 or 4 kg) can help improve the condition of type 2 diabetes, improve heart health and reduce joint stress. Aspire for Life aspires to bring you weight loss in a sustainable way that you may live healthily for life.
