Studies have shown that hormones are the most powerful chemical messengers in the body and balanced hormones are important for good health. Besides, being overweight according to scientific evidence, leads to imbalances in an individual’s hormones, which can affect overall health ranging from issues like infertility, to improper insulin levels, low metabolism, reduced sexual drive, irregular body temperature, abnormal sleep cycles, reduced appetites and other health related issues.
Giving further insight into the significance of losing weight , the Chief Executive Officer, said: “It is often said that health is wealth and that is because without good health it is difficult to function in almost every area of life. It is therefore, important that we pursue activities that will enhance good health. Sadly, many people do not recognize that excess weight affects the way body organs function and instead blame it on stress and other factors. Without good health, an individual will be unhappy, spend huge amounts on treatments, and can even become depressed. An effective weight loss and management plan is needed to achieve balanced hormones and consequently, overall good health”.
Speaking on what made Cambridge Weight Plan an effective solution for losing weight and maintaining it, she said: “ Not only would it improve hormonal balance, it will also aid the proper functioning of other vital organs in the body. Following a healthy diet, exercising on a regular basis and engaging in other healthy activities can go a long way in improving an individual’s health.”
