Exercise after bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery is a powerful weight-loss tool, but it’s not a miracle cure.
To experience the best outcomes you need to commit to a healthy diet and a regular exercise regime so you can maximize your weight loss and feel better than ever.
Exercise can help you lose more weight and keep it off after surgery. But when you’re losing weight, it’s also important to lose the right kind of weight. Exercise helps you burn fat while keeping your lean muscle.
Regular exercise can strengthen your heart and bones, improve your blood sugar and enhance your immune system so you’re less likely to get sick.
Exercise produces endorphins that can help with mental health. It creates more blood flow to the brain and produces endorphins that can help to regulate and improve your mood.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important for strong bones, muscles and overall health.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is necessary to produce vitamin D in the skin and is the best natural source of vitamin D.
However remember to use daily sun protection, especially at times when UV index levels are at their highest (3 or above).
Only a small amount (around 5-10%) of Vitamin D is sourced from our diet.
Sources include:
• fatty fish (such as salmon, canned tuna)
• eggs
• margarine and some milks have added vitamin D.
• some cereals
Vitamin D deficiency can result in a decline in bone density in adult life, increasing the risk of:
• osteoporosis
• falls and bone fractures (especially for older people), and
• may be associated with low levels of Calcium
Treatment options include improved sunlight exposure, diet, exercise and supplements.
To discuss your Vitamin D concerns, call us on 9379 5479 or 9428 7556.
