Weight Control Activities

Physical activity is important for physical health, emotional well being and achieving a healthy weight. Physical activity may help control weight by burning calories that would otherwise be stored as fat. Most foods and many beverages a person eats and drinks contain calories and everything the body does uses calories, including sleeping, breathing, digesting food and moving around. Balancing the calories a person eats with the calories the body uses through physical activity may help a person maintain a current weight.
Experts recommend at least 150 minutes, or 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. This amount of physical activity may reduce the risk for some chronic diseases. Aerobic physical activities make the heart beat faster for a sustained period.
Regular physical activity may help a person reach and maintain a healthy weight. Being physically active may also give the body more energy, improves mood and reduces the risk of developing some chronic diseases.
Physical activity also requires the body to use more oxygen. Physical activities include bicycling, dancing and walking. A person does not need to do a lot of exercise at once to be physically active. In fact, experts recommend spreading physical activity throughout the week. A person may break up activities into shorter segments of 10 minutes or more. Moderate- or vigorous-intensity physical activities that last for at least 10 minutes count toward meeting the weekly recommendation. People need different amounts of physical activity to lose and control weight. A person may need to do more or less activity than others. The amount of activity needed for weight loss may differ greatly between people. Some people who are not very active may be able to achieve and maintain a healthy weight by doing the minimum amount of activity recommended by experts. However, many adults need to do more activity to control their weight.
Some adults need 300 minutes (5 hours) or more of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. These adults should build up to this level of activity, adding time each week until they reach the goal. In order to maintain a healthy weight after weight loss, adults may need to further increase their physical activity. Studies show that physical activity is very important to successful long term weight control.
Examples of moderate-intensity activity include: brisk walking, general gardening, water aerobics. Examples of vigorous-intensity activity include: bicycling at least 10 miles per hour, heavy gardening, jogging or running, race walking, rock climbing, swimming laps, training to run a 10K for charity.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing for short periods during the night. A person who has sleep apnea may suffer from daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating and even heart failure.
The risk for sleep apnea is higher for overweight people. An overweight person may have more fat stored around his or her neck. This may make the airway smaller. A smaller airway can make breathing difficult, loud, cause snoring or stop altogether. In addition, fat stored in the neck and throughout the body may produce substances that cause inflammation. Inflammation in the neck is a risk factor for sleep apnea.
Weight loss usually improves sleep apnea. Weight loss may help to decrease neck size and lessen inflammation.
