Health Risks

If you’re one of thousands of people who face obesity, life may sometimes feel like a burden. The extra weight you are forced to carry can curtail your health (cardiac, breathing or joint problems; heartburn), your career (being passed over for promotion), your self-image (loss of sex appeal), even your ability to have fun (movie seats are too small, constant aches and pains).
