LEGS TIRED IN THE SUMMER

By: | Tags:

Some people suffer more than others from high temperatures and bright sun… the summery season is favourable to feeling the legs tired, but bad blood circulation is not the only one to blame, body weight has something to do with it as well! Especially in Summer it is recommended to have light meals because digestion rises our internal temperature, expands the blood vessels and slows down blood flow, aggravating the heavy legs sensation. But this recommendation is valid for all the year, considering that obesity, overweight and fat excess favour […]

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.

RED WINE VINEGAR

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Made by fermenting red wine, then straining it, it’s often aged before bottling to reduce the intensity of the flavour. Many people enjoy using red wine vinegar in recipes. The acetic acid in red wine vinegar may support weight loss. Acetic acid has been shown to reduce fat storage, increase fat burning, and reduce appetite. What’s more, it keeps food in your stomach longer. This delays the release of ghrelin, a hunger hormone, which may prevent overeating. Call our International Call […]

However, it is important to ensure that all essential nutrients are ingested.

It is known as “metabolically healthy obesity” but a new study suggests that the “healthy” attribute should be taken with a considerably large pinch of salt. It was confirmed that “metabolically healthy obesity” is not a harmless condition, and even people who remain free of metabolic diseases for decades face an increased risk of cardiovascular events. People with a normal […]
