Obesity News: CDC Reports on Health, Diet, Lifestyle and Obesity

The following video will outline several tips to structure a responsible weight management/ weight loss plan. Please consider this report offered by CDC detailing diet, calories, overweight and obesity—and how to live a healthier life by finding balance in physical activity and diet.

Weight is a result of caloric balance—eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight over time. Choosing to exercise daily and eat well including water, vegetables, unsaturated fats, complex carbohydrates, low fat meats, fish, poultry, limited sugar and legumes will help you to avoid illnesses associated with being overweight or obese including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Managing healthy bodyweight is a decision that can only be made by an individual.
