Incentive

Need some incentive to lose weight? Shedding as little as 5 percent of your weight can help reduce the amount of inflammation in the body, and it may reduce the risk for inflammatory diseases, including cancer, arthritis and heart disease.
 People who lost weight just by dieting lowered their inflammation markers by 36 percent, while those who cut calories and exercised saw a 42 percent drop.
 If you’re overweight or obese, setting small goals, like losing 5 percent of your body weight, can help you achieve real and lasting results.
