BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR)

By: | Tags:

Metabolism is the word used to describe all processes that use or release energy in the human body. The minimum amount of energy needed for an individual to stay alive is known as basal metabolism.

IS THERE AN AVERAGE WEIGHT FOR WOMEN?

By: | Tags:

Knowing if your weight is within a healthy range can be beneficial. This is particularly so in Portugal, where obesity is a significant problem. Portuguese is the third country in western Europe with a larger percent of obese young girls and overweight, a problem that affects almost a third of the female youthful population, and almost two-thirds of adult women. One of the commonly used indicators of well being is a person’s BMI, which stands for body mass index. The BMI shows if you fall into the category of “overweight” […]

IS THERE AN AVERAGE WEIGHT FOR MEN?

By: | Tags:

The average weight for men varies according to country, race, and age. But an average weight is not necessarily the same as a healthy weight.

By: | Tags:

Which diet is best for weight loss? One of the most difficult decisions when it comes to weight loss diets is picking one that will work well for you. Keto diets, Mediterranean diets, fasting diets — there are so many options out there for people who want to lose weight. We’ve all heard stories of a friend who went on one diet — it worked great — and then another friend tried the same diet, and it didn’t work at all. It’s because we’re all very different.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR LIPOSHAPER®

By: | Tags:

But when it gets to passion that does not fade, the romance may well last a lifetime, as long as we know how to take care of ourselves, next to our daily company, to always be a more loving person, prettier, healthier and happier. And with this in mind, we will be able to transmit to our children […]

Senior Moments are memory lapses from which, as we get older, we do seem to suffer more often. Memory failures normally occur when a person is worried and they increase as years go by, becoming an evident sign of ageing. But there are also abnormal causes that affect the intelectual capacities, and then we must talk about cognitive impairment, which causes may have distinct pathological sources. The Orthomolecular Dietetics as part of the Anti-Ageing Programme has natural ingredients that permit to free specific neurotransmitters from the brain, among which the […]

The Jornal Económico was saying at the end of last year that Goldman Sachs named lithium the “new gasoline” and that Portugal is already where different companies are exploring this raw material. This subject is making the news, but not for health purposes, where lithium also has an important role. In the human body, lithium is a mineral that competes with iode at the thyroid level. Lack in lithium causes changes in the way we behaviour, anxiety, depression, head-aches, herpes and dermatological seborrhea. Lithium breaks down the production of cholesterol by […]

The new research may add an imbalanced diet during pregnancy to this list, suggesting that eating foods that are […]
