Yes, exercise.: Exercise is always a healthy thing to do. Good for heart health, blood sugar and cholesterol management, and energy and vitality. Being overweight, you may want to do aerobic type exercises three or four days weekly and focus on weight training, which will build muscle and shape and bring your weight up a bit through the building of dense muscle tissue. And please try to eat better.
