There’s no better way of guaranteeing a long and healthy life than being proactive in your lifestyle choices. By making sure to pick what’s best and not what’s easiest you can maintain an adequate weight and level of fitness which leave you at lower risk of things like diabetes and heart disease. ¾ type two diabetics are obese or overweight and these people also have an increased risk of heart disease or stroke.
The fact is that the human body simply wasn’t built to be so big and its way of telling you that is by failing across the board. From the internal workings to stretch marks on your skin and even issues with muscles and joints, your body’s crying out for help and if you don’t listen to it you could end up dead.
It’s become relatively common knowledge that gastric bands can help people become healthier. Now, it’s important to make the point here that the gastric bands themselves aren’t somehow restorative, they aren’t magic and hold no medicinal properties on their own. It’s the effects on the body which cause the improvements in the body.
A gastric band restricts the amount of food a patient’s stomach can hold at any one time, meaning they can eat less, meaning they lose weight. It’s losing the weight that holds all the health benefits and this is more than achievable without the aid of a gastric band.
Remember before you jump on that gastric band bandwagon that with the proper diet and exercise you can help to improve your overall wellness. If you’d like to consider a gastric band and you’ve decided it’d definitely for you then make sure to consult your GP first!
