10 Amazing Benefits of Weight Loss of 10 percent or more

Small weight loss, big gains!


Research shows that even a small amount of weight loss of only 5-10 percent of body weight may improve many of the problems associated with overweight, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Even a smaller weight loss can make a difference. If you are trying to lose weight, do so slowly and steadily, under medical supervision. Avoid crash weight-loss diets that severely restrict calories or the variety of foods. Extreme approaches to weight loss, such as self-induced vomiting or the use of laxatives, amphetamines, or diuretics, are not appropriate and can be dangerous to your health.

Research suggests that the location of body fat also is an important factor in health risks for adults. Excess fat in the abdomen (stomach area) is a greater health risk than excess fat in the hips and thighs. Extra fat in the abdomen is linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, early heart disease, and certain types of cancer.

Smoking and too much alcohol increase abdominal fat and the risk for diseases related to obesity. Vigorous exercise helps to reduce abdominal fat and decrease the risk for these diseases. The easiest way to check your body fat distribution is to measure around your waistline with a tape measure and compare this with the measure around your hips or buttocks to see if your abdomen is larger. If you are in doubt, you may wish to seek advice from a health professional.

10 amazing benefits of weight loss of 10% or more 

1. Weight loss lowers the risks of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke.
2. Losing weight reduces the risk of developing diabetes and helps control blood
sugar levels if you are already diabetic.
3. If you lose weight, it lowers the risk of sleep apnea, a serious breathing difficulty during sleep. Studies have shown that 10 percent weight loss reduces the risk of sleep apnea by 28 percent. So, even a small amount of weight loss goes a long way.
4. Weight loss lowers the risk of congestive heart failure. Excess weight puts stress on the heart and lungs.
5. Weight loss reduces the risks of many types of cancers including prostate cancer (Men), Breast (Women), Colon, Uterus, and many Genitourinary and Gastrointestinal Cancers.
6. Weight loss puts less stress on your bones and joints, especially the knees.
7. Losing weight reduces blood pressure. Even a small weight loss can help to lower high blood pressure.
8. Losing weight also reduces the risk of Alzheimer's dementia
9. Weight loss improves your ability to move and do activities.
10. And last, but not least, weight loss improves over 50 medication conditions and makes you feel better!
