Updated 15 November 20241 min read
What is it?
Maintaining a healthy weight involves balancing the calories you consume with the calories you burn. A healthy weight reduces the risk of chronic diseases and enhances overall well-being.
What can I do?
- Eat a balanced diet rich in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Exercise regularly to burn calories and build muscle.
- Monitor portion sizes and avoid mindless eating.
- Stay hydrated and get enough sleep to support metabolism.
When to Consult Your Doctor or Dietitian
- If you’re struggling to lose or gain weight.
- If you have a medical condition, such as diabetes, requiring weight management.
- If you need personalised guidance on achieving your weight goals.
Remember
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a journey, not a quick fix. Focus on sustainable habits and seek professional advice if needed.
