Tips to Stay Healthy
| Watch Your Weight
Watch Your Weight
If you are overweight, losing as little as five percent of your body weight may lower your risk for several diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. If you weigh 200 pounds, this means losing 10 pounds. Slow and steady weight loss of one-half to two pounds per week, and not more than three pounds per week, is the safest way to lose weight.
Check with your health care provider to determine a reasonable target weight for your height and body type.
