Overweight is the most important reversible cause of hypertension.
Other consequences of overweight include heart attack and stroke through raised cholesterol and increased risk of diabetes mellitus; premature wear and tear of joints; and increased risk of some cancers and psychiatric and psychological disorders.
Comments welcome about ideas to reduce overweight that have worked - or have not worked - including 'weight-reducing' diets, selective exclusion or inclusion diets, different types of exercise, support groups, use of apps, and other approaches.
