Healthy weight

Living with excess weight can cause serious health problems. There is a link between obesity and a wide range of diseases like: 

• type 2 diabetes

• hypertension

• cancer

• heart disease 

• stroke

Losing weight can be hard. Often it is not as simple as just eating less, eating more healthily and moving more. 

How much sleep you get can make a difference. Maintaining a healthy weight can be difficult if you’re struggling with low mood, stress or anxiety.

There are organisations and resources in Southwark that can hep you.
