How can weight loss improve my overall health?

If you’re carrying a significant volume of extra weight, the toll it takes on your body is difficult to overstate. Virtually every organ and system in the human body is negatively affected by being overweight or obese. 

Finding a way to reach and maintain a healthier weight can do wonders for how you feel and function each day, and decrease your risk of these serious health problems:

• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gallbladder disease
• Kidney disease
• Sexual dysfunction
• Dementia
• Depression
• Hypertension
• High cholesterol
• Osteoarthritis
• Certain cancers

Extensive research shows that when you’re overweight or obese, your risk of chronic disease and even early death is elevated. Losing even a small percentage of overall body weight can dramatically reduce these risk levels. 

How does medically supervised weight loss work?

When you rely on the team at Fina Health for weight loss services, the process begins with a discussion of your needs and goals. There are a number of ways to lose weight, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. 

For many, medications like glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1 agonists) are an excellent way to shed excess pounds. These medications help your body produce more insulin, lowering your blood sugar. GLP-1 agonists, primarily used to treat diabetes, also help control hunger and slow the movement of food from your stomach to your small intestine. 

Vitamin therapy is another great way to support your weight loss journey. Vitamin injections deliver a carefully balanced dose of vitamins directly into your bloodstream, where they go to work supporting a wide range of functions. 

What role do lifestyle changes play in weight loss?

The choices you make each day have a direct and substantial impact on your weight loss experience. That’s especially true when it comes to two factors: nutrition and activity levels. 

The food you choose has a direct effect on your weight. Fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats will fuel your body and help it heal from within. On the other hand, highly processed foods can slow your progress and lead to hypertension, high cholesterol, and other health problems. 

Getting enough activity is also critical. You don’t have to dive into an extreme exercise plan to see results; even something as simple as adding a daily walk can help you lose weight.
