Obesity is a highly prevalent condition in America, not only for adults but also for children.
Fad diets and supplements are not the answer. Good nutrition, controlling calorie intake and physical activity are the only way to maintain a healthy weight. Obesity places you at risk for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and insulin resistance, a precursor of type 2 diabetes. If that isn’t serious enough, these are the very factors that heighten your risk of cardiovascular disease. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) can help tell you if your weight is healthy.
Along with a healthy and balanced diet, increasing physical activity is very important to losing or maintaining a healthy weight. An avid runner and exercise enthusiast, Dr. Pitroda has helped a large number of our patients lose and maintain weight. She has even helped many get off medication that they needed in the past.
