FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Weight loss with personalized support
Together on the path to a healthier life – safe, effective, and tailored to your goals.
Why is weight loss important for my health?
Weight loss is more than just a cosmetic change; it has a profound impact on both your physical and mental well-being. At a healthy weight, people often feel more energetic, sleep better, and have more self-confidence. All of this contributes to an improved quality of life and resilience. But there’s more: weight loss can also help prevent or improve a variety of health issues. Below are the main reasons:
- Reduction of Chronic Diseases: Being overweight increases the risk of serious chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and even certain types of cancer. By losing weight, you reduce the strain on your heart and blood vessels, stabilize your blood sugar levels, and improve your blood pressure.
- Support for Joints and Muscles: Excess weight puts strain on the joints, particularly the knees and back, which can lead to chronic pain, arthritis, and mobility issues. By losing weight, you reduce the pressure on your joints, helping to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
- Preventive Care: Losing weight has a preventive effect, reducing the likelihood of various health issues in the future. Even a small percentage of weight loss—5 to 10% of your current weight—can make a significant difference in your overall health and lower your risk of illness.
- Mental Health: In addition to physical benefits, losing weight often has a positive impact on mental health. It can improve your self-image, boost your confidence, and help develop a positive mindset. At BMI Clinic, we recognize that the emotional aspect is just as important as the physical, and that adopting a healthier lifestyle can strengthen you mentally.
Weight loss as preventive care: why take action now?
Preventive care means taking steps now to prevent health problems later. Many chronic diseases develop over the years and stem from an unhealthy lifestyle. By working towards a healthy weight now, you reduce the risk of facing serious health issues in the future.
Why it’s smart to start now:
- Starting at a Young Age Means Longer Benefits: Taking action early allows you to reap the benefits for longer. It reduces your risk of future illnesses and helps establish a healthier foundation for life.
- Building Stable Health: Losing weight in a healthy way also means developing healthy habits, such as regular exercise and balanced eating. These habits contribute to stable health and provide lasting benefits throughout your life.
- Responsibility to Yourself: By investing in your health now, you are taking responsibility for your future. At BMI Clinic, we support you every step of the way, helping you not only lose weight but also build new, healthy habits.
