WEIGHT CHANGES

By: | Tags:

To weight too less is a problem that one must seriously take care for it may be a symptom of a developing  disease. Whilst a balanced weight is desirable and healthy, too much meagreness is not.

TOO MUCH WEIGHT OR TOO MUCH FAT

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Anybody who wants to correct its weight must know its body composition and understand the difference between having too much weight or fat in excess.

Its not the total extra weight that makes us a […]

FACTS ABOUT ANTI-AGEING

By: | Tags:

It’s a fact that people from developed countries leave longer and longer. A Spaniard life expectancy in 1900 was 40 years old, a Portuguese in 1960 was 60 years of age, and life expectancy of new-borns in this century is more than 80 years foreseeing that individuals of this generation may have a life expectancy close to a hundred years.

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.

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 […]
