Obesity


With obesity levels being at an all-time high, the epidemic
of type 2 diabetes is growing at an alarming rate, and will
only get worse.

A piece of good news, however, is that if an overweight individual
is diagnosed with pre-diabetes, then he or she could reduce that risk simply by losing the excess weight. 

This also shows that there is a direct correlation between
the two. Diabetes can often be pushed back a number of years
simply by doing this. In some cases, it may even be
able to be completely avoided. It usually only takes losing about
7% of your body weight, on average, to have this effect. Some may require more, but any weight loss for an
overweight person is a move toward better health in the long
run.
