In those cases, you could translate 'além de' with the phrase 'as well as'.

Using Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=oT#auto/en/al%C3%A9m%20de), these are my best guesses: "alem de" is "besides" or "also" in English. 1. The excess consumption of sweets can lead to weight gain and may ALSO cause diseases such as diabetes. 2. BESIDES being fun, learning to dance can result in numerous health benefits.
