Manage Your Weight Better

Many people are not aware that obesity is not just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical concern that increases the risk of developing other diseases and health problems including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

While some people can just decide to change their diet and include exercise into their daily routine, some will definitely need more support to shed off the excess fat. For those who visit the doctor’s office on a regular basis to refill their medications particularly for lifestyle diseases will attest to the fact that the doctors always encourage healthy eating and exercise, and that is the first place to start for diagnosis. Tests and exams associated with diagnosing obesity generally include:

• Taking your health history. Your doctor may review your weight history, weight-loss efforts, physical activity and exercise habits, eating patterns and appetite control, what other conditions you've had, medications, stress levels, and other issues about your health. Your doctor may also review your family's health history to see if you may be predisposed to certain conditions.
