FOOD TO BRONZE

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Carrot is the queen of foods to help getting a tan. If you want an apricot tone, you just have to eat them. And there are other excellent foods for a natural suntan: tomatoes and red peppers, extra-virgin olive oil, eggs, watermelon, spinach and broccoli, and also fresh cheese. All of these, well prepared and wrapped, may be taken to the beach for a light and healthy snack. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and schedule […]

EATING MINDFULLY

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: As most people lead busy lives, they often tend to eat quickly on the run, in the car, working at their desks, and watching TV. As a result, many people are barely aware of the food they are eating. Mindful eating is a practice where people pay attention to how and where they eat food. This practice can enable people to enjoy the food they eat and maintain a healthy weight. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 […]

WATER SUPPRESSES APPETITE

By: | Tags:

When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water can help to take up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger. A person may also think that they are hungry when they are actually thirsty. Drinking a glass of water before reaching for something to eat can help to curb unnecessary snacking. The Food Reeducation and Behavioural program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo® teaches you all this and may taylor you an alimentary regime […]

SANGRIA ALCOHOL-FREE

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Peel the peaches, remove the stones, cut them in slices and place them in a jar, add other season fruits to your taste such as cherries, melon, cantaloupe, mango, papaya, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, apricots, add a lemonade you made yourself, oranges and sliced apples.

EAT AND HEAT

By: | Tags:

When heat comes we change our food habits. Fruits and vegetables at your discretion, 2 litres of water per day to avoid dehydration, and we must preserve the cold chain, meaning the whole process from conception, through storage, to food transportation, ensuring all refrigeration conditions and assuring its preservation. Appetite is less in Summer, but never skip a meal believing that will help you to get slimmer. When we skip a meal we usually compensate eating too much the next one. Furthermore, the organism remembers having been deprived, and reacts […]

SHELLFISH – SKIP THE HEAD

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Did you know that shellfish cholesterol is only stored in the head? Not only crustaceans are poor on lipids, but also cholesterol from all kinds of lobsters, crayfish and shrimps, is exclusively located in the heads, so that part shouldn’t be eaten. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and learn more about Food Re-Education.

PARSLEY

By: | Tags:

Parsley is extremely rich in mineral salts, in vitamin C and in antioxidant carotenes. That’s the reason why, in the past, it was rather considered a medicinal plant. Burt this richness gets really interesting when parsley is eaten in large quantities. A pinch of parsley (ca. 1 gram) does not give you much… So it is most convenient to use it as much as possible in salads, or to give more taste and beauty to your cookings, namely using it in cold soups that are ideal for this time of […]

SEAFOOD

By: | Tags:

Beach side holidays are the ideal place to make a feed cure. Seafood is an excellent source of proteins, much leaner than meat, they contain food fat acids that oppose to bad cholesterol, but also calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iode… so many minerals we rarely enough eat along the year! Oysters, for instance, are very rich in iron (excellent against anemia) and antioxidants that fight free radicals, thus preventing premature ageing. A nice dozen makes an extremely dietetic meal, as well as white fish such as grilled sardines, delicious and rich in Omega […]

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. These percentages matter because when increases or decreases occur, they can affect the chances of a person developing heart disease. Many risks are associated with […]

SLIMMING IS LIKE GARDENING

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Losing excess weight and too much fat is like turning arid ground into fertile soil that, in order to be productive, needs to be cultivated, cared for, and given attention to every day.
