RATHER PLANT-BASED FATS

By: | Tags:

Plant-based fats are tied to lower risk of death, according to the results from a long-lasting research in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Over an average follow-up period of 22 years, 20,672 of the subjects died — including 4,588 from heart disease. Using this information and that of fat consumption, the researchers found that: Having a diet higher in plant-based monounsaturated fats was linked to a 16 percent lower risk of dying from any cause over the follow-up compared with having a diet that […]

BENEFITS OF FIBRE IN THE DIET

By: | Tags:

A good balance of fibre in the diet is associated with a host of health benefits. These include reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and colorectal cancer, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, improved gastrointestinal health, help with weight management and fat elimination, and more regular bowel movements. There are two basic kinds of fibre, soluble and insoluble. Although the body cannot digest either of them, they are both necessary for a healthy diet. Soluble fibre breaks down in the water found in the digestive system and forms a gel. It helps keep stools soft and […]

BREAKFAST LIKE A KING…

By: | Tags:

Three main meals per day — starting with a big breakfast — could promote weight and fat loss and better glucose control. Surely you have already heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day (eat breakfast like a king – lunch like a prince – dinner like a pauper) and a new study helps to support this. It found that eating a big breakfast and reducing lunch and dinner size may be key for people looking to lose weight and fat and improve their blood glucose levels. […]

All this gets easy if we take a little more care of ourselves, our looks, controlling our […]

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 […]

WAISTLINE, HIP HIP HIP…

It is also useful, and very simple, to keep evaluating the loss of extra pounds and extra body fat. You just have to know your waist-to-hip ratio. There is a growing evidence that waist-to-hip ratio is significantly associated with coronary heart diseases. 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 […]

BODY COMPOSITION EVALUATION

By: | Tags:

There are two forms of fat tissue. ESSENTIAL FAT (approx. 4% for men and 10% for women) serves as shock absorber and protective shield for vital organs of the body such as the heart, liver, kidneys, brain and spinal cord. During the slimming programme this fat is only slightly reduced. SUBCUTANEOUS FAT acts as an insulator to protect the body against excessive heat loss. Any excess calories derived from food intake will be stored beneath the skin as fat. OBESITY may be defined as an excessive storage of energy in […]

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

By: | Tags:

A BMI is considered NORMAL between 20 and 25. BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. In the absence of a direct measure of body fat, it is an index based on weight and height. This indicator is not the most relevant because weight only determines if we are heavy. It’s the percent of body fat that determines whether we are fat or not. The Food Reeducation and Behavioural Program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and […]
