COLORECTAL CANCER: THE IMPORTANCE OF DIET

By: | Tags:

Colorectal cancer is quite common, especially among the ageing population. An important risk factor for colorectal cancer is diet, and dietary choices are also vital during and after treatment. Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that affects a person’s rectum, colon, or both. This is also known as the large intestine. This type of cancer is more likely to appear in older individuals, but there are many other risk factors associated with its emergence, such as genetic and lifestyle factors. Of the latter, one of the most cited risk factors is […]

BODY FAT DISTRIBUTION

By: | Tags:

It is known that obesity raises the risk of heart attack in both men and women, but recent research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association finds that for women, the size of their hips and waist may be the best indicators of risk. A higher body mass index (BMI) is known to raise the risk of myocardial infarction, or heart attack, and by and large, this association seems to be the same for both men and women. But as a measurement, BMI says nothing about body fat […]

All studies on longevity determine that the larger the abdominal perimeter, the shorter the life expectancy. With the Liposhaper® – the 1st non-invasive “liposuction”, it is possible […]

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. A person’s ideal weight depends on several factors, including their height and build. Maintaining a good weight is important for health and can reduce the risk of developing serious conditions. 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 […]

NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATION

By: | Tags:

Our approach is always taken through the therapeutic point of view and, before starting any treatment programme, we try to discover and understand the clinical problem that gave origin, in the first place, to the overweight and extra fat, or accelerated the bodily ageing process, both physical and mental. This kind of approach, more therapeutic, enables more efficient results in a shorter period of time. The Nutritional Consultation, besides the nutritional component, has a very important psychological component so that the client realizes that getting thinner is not just to […]

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR LIPOSHAPER®

By: | Tags:

Surgical liposuction is no longer the most looked for technique for fat reduction, because is is associated with severe risks such as embolism, nerve compression, skin necrosis, problems with anaesthesia, infection, visceral perforations and seroma (liquid accumulation under the skin). The Liposhaper® – the first really non-invasive “liposuction”, is the most safe alternative, using a technology that enables, without all the inconvenience of  the surgical process, to achieve better results on excess fat reduction and to improve the body sllhouette, in an only session of 90 minutes, without pain and […]
