The obesity rate in the United States has been dramatically increasing, with some health experts even calling it an epidemic. Being physically active and staying within your recommended weight range is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being.
Maintaining a healthy body weight not only makes you feel good about yourself, but has many other health benefits including:
1. Reduced risk of health problems including: heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, depression and diabetes
2. Higher chance of living longer and more independent life
3. Less stress on your joints
4. Helps manage chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, back pain, arthritis and high blood pressure.
5. Improves your sleep
6. Boosts your energy level
