Overweight and your health

A walk around the park

Being overweight can be a source of so many ailments (both major and minor) that we often experience at a point in our lives; whether it is from the little things we often ignore like snoring (which is often so annoying to people around you), easy fatigability, sleep apnoea to major health challenges like diabetes, hypertension, fertility issues, Fibroids, polycystic ovary disease etc.

Lifestyle modification is essential as it holds the key to most of our health challenges.

Don’t get me wrong, so many other factors can obviously play a role; after all some people are not even overweight in any sense of the word but still suffer from most of these!

Knowing your body mass index (BMI) is very crucial as it gives you a clearer insight as to whether you are overweight or not based on your weight and height. Whatever case; it is essential to take very great care of your health one sure way is definitely by exercising (no matter how little) and having control of what goes into our mouths.

• Get up, take a good stroll around your neighbourhood; you’ll be amazed as to what interesting things you didn’t even know where close to you. You can even organise a walk with your friends during the weekends, this way it will be more fun and less tiring.

• Jog on the spot in your house as often as possible

• And even in the office you can do minor stretches during lunch break.

Great work guys as we aim to keep fit!
