WAIST/HIPS RATIO

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Fat is not equally distributed in the body, for men fat deposits more on the abdomen, for women more on the hips. But for both genders, when the circumference of the waist equals or exceeds the circumference of the hips, there is a larger risk of cardiovascular diseases. That is why men have a bigger risk proportion than women. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and make an appointment for your Permanent Epilation Evaluation.

GOOD AND BAD CHOLESTEROL

By: | Tags:

Total cholesterol levels are made up of three different types: High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is considered “good” cholesterol. It makes up 20-30 percent of a person’s total cholesterol level; Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is considered “bad” cholesterol and makes up 60-70 percent of the total in the body; Finally, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is a precursor to LDL and makes up about 10-15 percent of a person’s total cholesterol.

By: | Tags:

There are two main culprits that accelerate the aging process of our skin: sun exposure and Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). AGEs form when protein or fat combine with sugar.

THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN WATER

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Whether you prefer soda, coffee, or beer, the biggest reason you love your beverage of choice isn’t because of the way it tastes. No, according to researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago, your drink preferences may be the result of the “reward” you feel when you drink them. In other words, you’re drawn to certain beverages for the way they make you feel, not for the way they taste. So, better stick to plain water. It’s the most natural and […]
