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 […]

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. For each individual there is a minimum amount of energy required to sustain the body’s vital functions in the waking state. BMR is then the estimated amount of energy your body requires during a 24-hour period to maintain these essential bodily elements, such as temperature, heart rate, brain and lungs, to function at rest. The […]

LOW-FAT vs. LOW-CARB

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. Maybe you shouldn’t be […]
