2) The brain will be grateful
In a study from 2013 is found that obese adults showed poorer performance on intelligence tests than others with a healthy weight who participated in the study. Previously, it was not known that obesity is related related to brain function, but in this study, it was explained that obesity in poor blood flow to the brain and thus to allow the fat cells to reach the brain, just as it reaches the heart and the muscle. Only 12 weeks of regular exercise can lead to significant improvements in brain function.

Excess weight is associated with numerous changes to the largest organ in your body-the skin. Still not sufficiently investigated how obesity affects acne and skin infections, but there is a study that claims that weight loss can help reduce psoriasis. In this study points out that adults who participated in the study, eating healthy for a period of eight weeks, it was seen a big improving in the condition of their psoriasis.

5) You will feel less pain
Excess weight can cause joint pain due to constant pressure on them, and this can further increase inflammation in the body. Generally speaking, weight loss can significantly reduce pain in the knees, hips and ankles, and can even prevent future problems with them. In one study, obese who had osteoarthritis and have lost 10 percent of their body weight, they were able to walk faster, they are more fast and feel less pain.

In a study conducted in Australia, in which they participated obese men with diabetes, it was found that the loss of five to ten percent of body weight can significantly improve libido and potency. The reason for this lies in the fact that it reduces the strain on the heart and blood vessels caused due to obesity. Also, the ego plays a very important role, because when you feel good, and you are not under stress, you can relax and work better during sex.
