Diet pills are a controversial subject. Some people swear by them and others believe that no one should ever take a diet pill. There is growing evidence that diet pills can be harmful but for someone who is desperate to lose weight diet pills may seem like a viable option.
There have been studies that have examined the long-term risks and effects of taking diet pills. As of now the studies seem to indicate that there might be some obese-related diseases that are curbed by using diet pills. The research indicates that diet pills might:
Lower blood pressure
Decrease insulin resistance
Lower cholesterol
But the long-term studies are not conclusive. Diet pills are intended to help someone on a diet stay on the diet by suppressing the urge to eat but many people take diet pills and believe that the pills are a ‘cure’ for being overweight. Before you take diet pills, be aware that these pills do present a risk.
