8. Can Pickwickian Syndrome Benefit from Diet and Lifestyle Changes?
If you are overweight or obese, it is recommended that you lose weight so that your BMI comes down to a healthier level. Once you lose some weight, your bones and the rest of your body will have less weight to bear, and thus be less stressed. Your breathing will also improve and will normalize over time. Try to move more and eat a healthy diet. Walk or run if possible. The more active you are, the more weight you are going to lose, and the better your breathing will become. Eat a healthier diet with fewer carbohydrates and more vegetables. Also drink more water throughout the day so that you feel less hungry. Diet and lifestyle changes can lead to noticeable weight loss within 3 months.
