Everyone is always talking about how they need to lose weight. A great reason to maintain a healthy weight is to reduce your risk of health problems in the future.

"If you have too much body fat, especially at the waist, you have a higher risk for health problems. These include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes."

By maintaining a balanced diet and staying physically active each week will help you maintain your weight and lower your risk of heart disease.
