Lose excess weight
Losing weight can greatly improve your overall health and well-being. With almost one in three adults being overweight and four in ten having obesity, weight loss can reduce the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. It also reduces the pressure on your joints and helps lower inflammation. An Anthem nutritionist can help you with your weight loss goals through customized diet and nutrition plans.
Reduce your risk of heart disease
Lowering your risk of heart disease is crucial because it remains a leading cause of death among Americans, affecting millions each year. Factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, alcohol and substance use, and a sedentary lifestyle increase the risk. An Anthem dietitian can help you by creating a personalized nutrition plan that focuses on heart-healthy foods, managing weight, and improving overall lifestyle habits. This tailored guidance can significantly reduce your risk and promote better heart health.
Lower A1c levels
A1c measures your average blood sugar over three months, and lowering it helps prevent diabetes complications. Prediabetes and diabetes can lead to heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems. Risks include obesity, inactivity, poor diet, and family history. An Anthem dietitian can help manage blood sugar with a personalized nutrition plan and healthy eating guidance.
