Obesity

Prevalence of excess body weight has increased dramatically in the U.S. Over 2/3 of all U.S. adults, over the age of 18, are overweight or obese. Obesity can also contribute to hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. That’s why it’s important to watch your waist, even if you feel fine. The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t short-term dietary changes; it’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating and regular physical activity. Do you have questions about weight loss, getting moving or healthy eating?
