Everyone needs a goal and positive reasons to achieve that goal. Even losing a few pounds can provide you with cardiovascular benefits, so every step in the right direction is a step toward healthier living. Consider these reasons to work toward maintaining a healthy weight.
When your weight is in a healthy range:
-
Your body more efficiently circulates blood.
-
Your fluid levels are more easily managed.
-
You are less likely to develop diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers and sleep apnea.
