WEIGHT LOSS & HEALTHY AGING

It is no big secret that maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of your overall health. It is also a factor in your healthy aging journey. 

Especially the older we get, the more important it is! When your body mass index (BMI) is higher, your chances of certain health problems increase. Things like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes become a part of the conversation. 

The factors to consider are the ones we all know… eating, activity, sleep… it is not big, shocking information! However, we know how hard it can be to implement these things and for them to be a part of your routine. 

Something that is completely overlooked sometimes is the amount of benefits outside of how you look that come along with losing excess weight and maintaining a healthy weight. 

Maintaining a healthy weight can… 

Reduce the Risk of Chronic Illnesses: excess weight has been linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Losing weight can help reduce all of these risks! 

Improve Mobility: this is a simple one! The more weight, the more stress on your joints. When you lose the extra weight, you are taking stress off your joints and making daily activities that much easier.  

Cognitive Function: losing weight can have an incredible impact on your cognitive function. Especially on things like memory and attention. Some studies have even shown better decision-making abilities, critical thinking skills and problem-solving after losing weight, 

Promote Good Sleep:  It will be no surprise that losing weight can help with your sleep. When you are at a healthy weight, you can reduce the risk of sleep apnea, improve your sleep quality, reduce snoring and overall get more fulfilling and restful sleep.
