Reduce your weight and reduce potential health risks

Who doesn’t enjoy seeing the weight coming off, feeling more energetic and fitting into a smaller dress size? The rewards of losing weight and looking better are certainly satisfying, but there are other, less glamorous reasons to shift some pounds. Being overweight increases your chance of having high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, certain types of cancer and osteoarthritis. More than a million people die in Europe each year from diseases directly related to being overweight.

The health risks of visceral fat

Visceral fat is regarded as the most problematic type of fat. It’s the fat that’s deposited around the abdominal area, in and around the vital organs (such as the liver and heart) and not the fat that’s stored under the skin which is called subcutaneous fat.

A person carrying visceral fat will have an ‘apple-shaped’ body; those with a ‘pear’ shape carry fat mainly on their hips and thighs.

Staying within a healthy weight range can make a positive difference. When you lose even 5% of your body weight, you could reduce your visceral fat and reduce the risks to your health.
