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.

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.

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).

CARNAVAL DATING DOES NOT REACH CHRISTMAS

By: | Tags:

There are proverbs, adages, maxims and aphorisms that are nothing but catchwords, and this is one of those, unless we’re talking about a simple dalliance, a flirt, an adventure or a caprice. 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 […]

DIET, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND OBESITY

By: | Tags:

Consuming a balanced diet and eating the recommended amounts of nutrients will help maintain normal immune function. Vitamins A, C, and D, and minerals — including zinc — play a role in the functioning of the immune system. If you eat a balanced diet, you will have no need to take supplements of these vitamins and minerals and taking extra will not particularly help your immune system. Populations that are malnourished are known to be more susceptible to infection, and there is some evidence that deficiencies in certain micronutrients alter […]
