@Swastika Managing your weight is a big part of your health. When you are overweight or obese, you’re at risk for medical conditions like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes. Weight loss can often be achieved through a healthy diet and exercise. In some cases, weight loss surgeries are used, but these also involved changing your lifestyle to keep the weight off. Controlling your weight isn’t a short-term thing — you need to think long-term about ways to control your weight and make changes to your lifestyle. Weight loss should be gradual, and careful follow-up is needed to keep you from rebound weight gain. A few ways you can change your behavior and lifestyle that will help you control your weight include: Learning about nutrition. Changing your eating habits. Increasing your physical activity. Changing your mindset about eating.
Joining a weight loss program. Following any drug therapies ordered by your physician.
