Keeping a healthy weight is vital for your long-term wellness—especially for adults mindful of their future health. Watch for these 5 warning signs that your weight could be affecting your health:
1️⃣ Ongoing joint discomfort or swelling, particularly in your hips or knees
2️⃣ Sleep issues, including symptoms of sleep apnea (such as interrupted breathing at night)
3️⃣ Digestive troubles like frequent acid reflux or gallbladder discomfort after eating rich foods
4️⃣ Newly elevated or worsening blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar readings
5️⃣ Irregular menstrual cycles or new fertility concerns
Excess weight can increase your risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. If you recognize any of these symptoms, reach out to your primary care provider.
