What are the health risks of being obese or overweight?If you are obese or overweight, from day to day you may: Feel tired and lacking in energy. Experience breathing problems (for example, shortness of breath when moving around, or not being able to cope with sudden bursts of physical activity like running across the road). Feel that you sweat a lot compared with other people. Develop skin irritation. Have difficulty sleeping. Get complaints from your partner that you snore. Experience back and joint pains which can affect your mobility.Increase your physical activity levelsIt is recommended that all adults should aim for 150 minutes of exercise a week. One way to do this is to do 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise in bouts of 10 minutes for five days of the week. Another method is to do 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity spread throughout the week or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. It is estimated that just to stay the same weight, if diet is not altered, most people need to do 45-60 minutes of moderately-intensive exercise every single day.Moderate physical activity includes: brisk walking, jogging, dancing, swimming, badminton, tennis, etc. In addition, try to do more in your daily routines. For example, use stairs instead of lifts, walk or cycle to work or school, etc. Avoid sitting for too long in front of the television or a computer screen. Take regular breaks whilst working. The good news is that you don't have to do this physical activity all in one chunk. You can break it up into blocks of 10-15 minutes. Build your exercise levels up gradually. If you are not used to physical activity, try starting with a 30-minute brisk walk every day and then building up from there.Obesity can cause shortness of breath as extra weight in the chest and abdomen increases the work the muscles that control breathing must do.Lack of fitness
