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 […]

EVEN “HEALTHY OBESITY” MUST BE TREATED

By: | Tags:

Some people with obesity are free of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and several types of cancer which often accompany this condition, despite their high body mass index (BMI). 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 […]

CHOLESTEROL IS BOTH GOOD AND BAD

By: | Tags:

At normal levels, cholesterol is an essential substance (waxy and fat-like appearance) for the body. However, if concentrations in the blood get too high, it becomes a silent danger that puts people at risk of heart attack. Cholesterol is present in every cell of the body and has important natural functions when it comes to digesting foods, producing hormones, and generating vitamin D. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and schedule your Nutritional Consultation and Body Analysis Composition to understand and control your Body Mass Index (BMI).

ASK YOURSELF, “AM I HUNGRY?”

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Pause for a moment and consider the answer to this question. If you’re truly hungry, eat! Your goal is to stop eating when you aren’t hungry. It’s also common to mistake hunger for thirst, so if you find that you’re not actually hungry, consider getting a glass of water or cup of tea and putting off your meal for a bit. Alternately, it may help to do something to distract yourself for a few minutes instead of eating, like taking […]

SAINT ANTHONY’S BREAD

By: | Tags:

St. Anthony was so moved by poverty that he once distributed to the poor all the bread of the convent in which he lived. Bread can be part of a healthful diet, if we know how to choose it. Give preference to bread made of less refined flours, dark or whole bread, watch for the fibres and say yes to the seeds! What makes you fat is not bread, but butter, the delicatessen, the cheeses, the jams that we apply on bread, and when we eat it with other starchy […]
