Weight Management
Obesity
Is a major public health problem globally. In South Africa over half the population is considered to be either over weight or obese.
Being overweight can lead to significant increased risk to other non-communicable diseases such as heart attacks, cancers, diabetes and respiratory diseases. Take action and choose a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle.
The steep growth of obesity in low- and middle-income countries is fueled by a combination of increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (high in added sugars, fats, salt and chemical additives such as emulsifiers and artificial flavourants), which are cheaper and more accessible to most people than healthier, whole foods; lack of public awareness; lack of regulation around the marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks to children; weak or no effective nutrition-information labelling on foods; and lack of integration of obesity prevention and management into primary healthcare.
The optimal way to curb going from fat to obese is to follow a dietary regime which is balanced. Many diets are available, but in general people who take part in one diet or another invariably go back to eating unhealthily. The Nutr8 advice is to eat balanced meals, eat a sufficient amount of calories per day and try to get regular exercise.
There are a number of diet trends that a person can consider. Some of the more popular diets are banting and Keto. However, you need to ensure that you are balancing your intake of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. You also need to ensure that you are getting enough fiber in your diet for a healthy gut, and augment this with a robust pro biotic.
Try to get your recommended daily dose of vitamins and minerals. Augment this with fiber, Omega 3 fatty acids, Green tea extract, ginger and Ursolic acid. Also ensure that you have a robust pro biotic such as Bacillus Coagulants.
A BMI (Body Mass Index) of over 30 is generally considered to be obese.
