Many people want to lose weight so that they can feel more attractive, achieve a more desirable shape, and fit into their favorite clothes. One of the additional benefits of weight loss is an improvement in your energy level. If you have been feeling sluggish and unmotivated due to weight gain or inability to lose weight, Dr. McConnell and program director Rachel Smith, DNP, ARNP, can help get you back on track with your weight loss goals at Discover Health in West Bradenton, FL.
Weight and Your Overall Health
One of the most pressing concerns for doctors and their patients is weight management. Maintaining an ideal weight for your body type and height can help make you look and feel your best as well as contribute to good mental health. Excessive weight can create a number of health challenges, including illnesses, circulation issues, sleep disorders, joint problems and lack of mobility.
How Weight Loss Can Improve Your Energy
Though many patients focus on the visual benefits of weight loss, there is another physical advantage of losing extra pounds. Weight loss can make you stronger, faster, lighter on your feet, and more energetic. Also, because you may get better, more satisfying sleep, it can revitalize you during waking hours. Carrying around less weight causes you to expend less energy when you move around, so you can do so more easily and for longer periods of time.
