Do you need help losing weight? Many pharmacies offer comprehensive counselling, including the selection of suitable dietary supplements and adjustments to your diet.
What the counselling can offer you:
- A considerate approach: Losing weight without expert guidance can be ineffective and even dangerous. Avoid the risks by consulting a professional!
- Selection of suitable dietary supplements: The pharmacist can add quality dietary supplements to your diet that support healthy digestion and increase the effectiveness of dietary measures and aerobic exercise.
- Motivation and support: Throughout your journey to an optimal weight, a professional will provide you with motivation and support.
- Discretion: Your privacy is an absolute matter of course.
The benefits of losing weight may include:
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease: Overweight and obesity are significant risk factors for developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis and, subsequently, myocardial infarction or stroke.
- Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes: Excess weight increases insulin resistance, which can lead to the development of diabetes.
- Improved joint function: Excess weight strains the joints, especially the knees and hips, which can lead to osteoarthritis and pain.
- Improved cholesterol levels: Weight loss can improve the blood lipid profile and reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol (LDL).
- Reduced risk of sleep apnoea: Overweight and obesity are linked to a higher risk of obstructive sleep apnoea, which can lead to fatigue, irritability and other health problems.
- Improved fertility: Women who are overweight or obese may find it harder to conceive.
- Increased energy and vitality: Losing excess weight leads to increased energy and better overall physical fitness.
