Lose Excess Weight — You’ll Breath Easier

Carrying around excess weight is hard work. Don’t believe me? Here’s a simple test. Go to your favorite outdoors’ store and try on a backpack. Have the sales person put 10 pounds of weight in the pack and walk around the store for a little while. Then take the pack off and walk around for a bit — you’ll feel lighter and more energetic. After this exercise, you’ll probably never say, “But it’s JUST 10 extra pounds again!”

New research also shows that losing weight improves your breathing. In a new study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, researchers from Henry Ford Hospital showed that patients who lost weight after having weight-loss bariatric surgery also had improvements in breathing. And one year after surgery, they were taking only half as much medication for respiratory illnesses. Only two in every five people taking medications for breathing prescriptions before surgery were still taking breathing medications after weight-loss surgery.
