 Would you love to follow a diet that is specific to you health condition. We can tailor your diet to your health condition?
Our programs are open to individuals who are overweight and committed to losing weight and changing their lifestyle. There are many health problems associated with being overweight such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and infertility.
Losing weight and making lifestyle changes can help protect against these medical problems or even slow down their progression. The data from our clinic shows that those individuals who complete the program lose on average 7% of their starting weight with improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides and quality of life score.
Being overweight is linked to the following health conditions:
Heart conditions - A healthy diet can be a massive step towards reducing your risk of developing heart disease. Most heart results from atherosclerosis, which is cholesterol build-up, or plaque in the artery wall. Many people are able to stabilise and even reverse this with healthy lifestyle changes. You can reduce your risk of heart attack within 3-4 weeks.
Joint deterioration - because extra weight is added to the skeleton, obesity is linked to degenerative joint disease.
Lung disturbances - Since extra body weight places a burden on the lungs by making breathing difficult, lung function is impaired. In particular, inadequate oxygen enters the blood because of laboured breathing. This accounts for the fatigue that overweight people complain frequently.
Hypertension - high blood pressure - this highly dangerous condition, which can often be reversed through weight loss, is linked to numerous other illnesses, including angina and sudden death from heart failure.
Gallstones - over weight people, can develop gallstones more often than normal. Being overweight is associated with high levels of cholesterol secretion in the gall bladder, which leads to the formation of cholesterol gallstones.
Diabetes Type 2 - About 80% of diabetics who develop this illness are obese. Obesity adversely affects the fat cells so that they do not respond properly to insulin; the result is elevated blood sugar, or diabetes. Many obese diabetics who are currently treated by medication, usually insulin injections, could be free of it simply by losing their excess weight.
Cancer - Doctors are showing great interest in the connection between diet and cancer. It appears that excessive eating in itself may stimulate hormones which can can be implicated in the onset of cancer.
