One of the risks of being overweight is type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90% to 95% of all diabetes cases.  In type 2 diabetes, our body cells gradually become resistant to insulin over time, as a result of lack of exercise, poor diet habit and overweight.  Luckily, we can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes through healthy weight loss based on below reasons:
