HEALTHY WEIGHT
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most powerful steps you can take for better health.
Even losing just 5–10% of your body weight can make a big impact, improving blood sugar control, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, reducing medication needs, and decreasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Small changes add up:
✨ Manage your portions
💧 Drink more water
🥗 Add more nutrient-dense foods
🏃 Stay active in ways you enjoy
⏳ And most importantly—be patient with the process
Weight loss isn’t one moment. It’s a journey.
During American Diabetes Month, CRDC encourages you to talk with your healthcare provider about realistic weight goals and a plan that works for your life.
You’ve got this - one step at a time. 💙
