Insomnia is a common health problem that
causes people to have trouble falling or staying asleep. Better sleep habits
and lifestyle changes often help relieve insomnia. You may need to see a doctor
or sleep specialist if you have long-term or recurring insomnia, or if you

Millions of Americans and people worldwide are
overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese isn’t a cosmetic
problem—it greatly raises the risk in adults for many diseases and
conditions. Reaching and staying at a healthy weight is a long-term challenge.
However, with the right treatment and motivation, it’s possible to lose
weight and lower your long-term disease risk. |
