Healthy Weight

  • Maintaining a healthy weight is important for health. In addition to lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and high blood pressure, it can also lower the risk of many different cancers.
  • Move more, eat less. Turning off the television and skipping the sugary drinks are two ways to get started.
  • Your weight, your waist size, and the amount of weight gained since your mid-20s can have serious health implications. These factors can strongly influence your chances of developing the following diseases and conditions:
    • Cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke
    • Diabetes
    • Cancer
    • Arthritis
    • Gallstones
    • Asthma
    • Cataracts
    • Infertility
    • Snoring
    • Sleep apnea

What Causes Weight Gain?

  1. 1. Diet: The quantity and quality of food in your diet has a strong impact on weight.
  2. 2. Genes: Some people are genetically predisposed to gain weight more easily than others or to store fat around the midsection.
  3. 3. Physical inactivity: Exercising has several health benefits, including reducing the chances of developing heart disease, some types of cancer, and other chronic diseases. Physical activity is a key element of weight control and health.
  4. 4. Sleep: Research suggests that there’s a link between how much people sleep and how much they weigh. In general, children and adults who get too little sleep tend to weigh more than those who get enough sleep.
  5. 5. Stress: Cortisol, the so-called "stress hormone," increases in our body when we're stressed out. This hormone, in turn, increases our appetite. Add to that the tendency to reach for comfort foods at times of stress, and you have a perfect opportunity for weight gain.
  6. 6. Antidepressants: A side effect of many antidepressant medications is weight gain. While you should never stop taking any medications on your own, you can talk to your doctor about changing your treatment plan if weight gain is troubling you. Some people may experience weight gain after the drug treatment is working, because they may and feel better and have a better appetite. Depression on its own can cause changes in weight as well.

Injection Programs We Offer

Our injections comprise B-12, lipotropic compounds, and vitamins to aid in weight reduction.
