To be healthy, it is essential to maintain a healthy weight. By keeping a healthy weight, you are less likely to develop heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Excess fat around the abdomen also increases inflammation.

If you are overweight, the best approach to lose weight is to combine healthy eating with physical activity. Start applying the healthy eating strategies listed above.

If possible, engage in moderate physical activity for 30 minutes almost every day. This could include brisk walking, cycling, dancing, playing tennis, or practicing other sports. Regular exercise will not only help you lose weight but also keep it off.

If you have difficulty managing your weight, consult a specialist who can create a meal plan tailored to your lifestyle, food preferences, and health needs.
