Weight reduction programs are critical in reducing the cases of obesity among African Americans. Through engaging in the physical activity programs, individuals suffering from obesity and diabetic conditions should be able to achieve healthy lifestyles.

• Consistency is a basic requirement when attempting to adhere to the changes
• Regulation of diets should also be considered as one of the practices in weight reduction.

The weight reduction processes need to be undertaken on a weekly basis to ensure that patients achieve higher levels of fitness.

Also to reduce the increasing level of obesity, there is the need for the population to get access to the healthcare through enrollment in the medical plans. Specifically, the vulnerable population including the elderly people who do not always get involved in physical activities should enroll to the medical programs so as to ensure early interventions.

To reduce the cases of obesity and diabetes, the community should ensure regular visits to the hospitals and other healthcare facilities for testing and early diagnosis in case there are cases of obesity, diabetes and the related health conditions.
