                                Losing just 5% of your body weight can significantly reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to research from Washington University School of Medicine. This modest, achievable goal translates into meaningful health benefits for many individuals, improving metabolic function in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue.
