Safely Lose Weight This Season

Now that springtime has finally arrived, more and more people are beginning to focus on shedding those last few pounds leftover from the winter. With the weather warming up, most of us are eager to get outside and exercise.  Not only is exercise crucial for maintaining health body weight, but studies also show a decrease in heart disease and stroke, decreased risk for diabetes, decrease in blood pressure, improvement in depression, and a decreased risk for osteoporosis, among other notable benefits. In fact, I harp on this fact with most of my patients, especially those with diabetes. Any activity you choose to do will burn some calories and potentially help with your weight-loss efforts. But here are some tips to exercising safely.
