Skin

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Its size (about 20 square feet on an average sized adult) and external location make it susceptible to a wide variety of diseases, disorders, discolorations and growths, as well as to damage from the environment and the aging process. The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of the body. Though seldom life threatening, skin disorders can be uncomfortable and may cause chronic disabilities. In addition, because the skin is so visible, skin disorders can lead to psychological stress.

Weight Loss

If a person is overweight, losing as little as five percent of body weight may lower the risk for several diseases, including coronary heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. If a person weighs 200 pounds, this means losing 10 pounds. Slow and steady weight loss of one-half to two pounds per week and not more than three pounds per week is the safest way to lose weight.
To lose weight and keep it off over time, try to make long term changes in eating habits and physical activity. Choose healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low fat meat and dairy products more often. Eat just enough food to satisfy the hunger. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, on most or all days of the week. To lose weight or to maintain weight loss, many people need to do more than 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily.
