Losing a Little Means a Lot to Your Health

Written on the 21 September 2011 by The Natural Way

In Australia, it is estimated that 54% of adults are overweight or obese: that is certainly not a statistic that we should be proud of!

If you are currently in the overweight / obese category, you may think the whole process of losing weight naturally is just 'too hard' and are a little daunted by the enormity of committing to a weight loss programme.

The good news is that losing as little as 5kg can make a HUGE difference to your health and this is something a consultant at The Natural Way can help you with. Being overweight increases your risk of heart disease and other life threatening conditions. Luckily, the risk of heart disease is lowered with every kilogram that you lose. Losing just 5kg can actually lower your risk of heart disease by up to as 25%. Losing weight is important, but so is how you lose the weight. Getting advice from a specialist weight loss consultant at The Natural Way will not only increase your chances of successfully losing the weight safely, but also of keeping it off.

It's not just risk of heart disease that can be lowered by weight loss: the incidence of developing diabetes is also lowered and damage to joints by arthritis. It is estimated that if you are overweight and lose just 5kg, that there is between 13-30kg less pressure on the knee joint with every step that you take! Of course, the nearer you are to your 'ideal' weight, the less likely it is that osteoarthritis will develop in the first place.

No matter if you have 5kg or 50kg to lose starting your natural weight loss journey today will put you on the path to a longer and healthier life. The Natural Way has been helping people to lose weight for over 30 years, so can you!
