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” […]

HEALTHY EATING

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: In spite of what some people may think, healthy eating does not demand complex recipes. It’s easy, you just have to cook lean proteins, vegetables and high quality grains, like quinoa or rice! Always have pre-cooked food on hand so that you may have a meal whenever it’s needed. I recommend salmon, chicken as healthy lean proteins, you may also have a boiled egg, fruit slices and nuts or seeds… You’ll see how simple it is to eat healthy at […]

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.

Being overweight or obese puts a person at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, some types of cancer, breathing problems, such as sleep apnea, […]

ORANGE ALERT

By: | Tags:

This is not a climate alert, but an alimentary one! Oranges are rich in vitamine C. Fresh made juice from two small oranges covers about 2/3 of the daily needs (80 mg / day) of this vitamine. An orange of 150 or 180 mg covers more or less that total necessity. Oranges are a guaranteed source of vitamine C and we should for that reason eat it every day, even in summer, although it is a winter’s fruit. Furthermore, oranges provide us with antioxidant carotenes that protect and preserve our […]

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR LIPOSHAPER®

OXIDATION

By: | Tags:

Oxidation – the reunion of oxygen with another element – is a natural phenomenon that also occurs with every cell in our body, and consequently causes the production of free radicals that damage and can even destroy the cells, leading to ageing. A diet high in antioxidants improves our body’s capacity to counteract these free radicals, a toxic garbage responsible for external signs, as ageing skin, and internal that may be the source of different cancer types. In what concerns biochemistry and orthomolecular nutrition, oxidation takes place in fat acids, […]

SENIOR MOMENTS AND MEMORY

By: | Tags:

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.
