Ways in Treating Obesity by Innogen Pharmaceuticals
LESS IS MORE. Discovering how to get more out of life with Less Fat and Less Carb
Manila, Philippines -- I am so glad to see and hear people who are willing to lose weight not just for the sake of beauty, but for a good health. We can't deny it that there is a higher percentage now of obese due to overeating or wrong diet. I am one of those who is struggling with my diet. I'm guilty!
Actually, it is our choice to be healthy and avoid unhealthy food. How can I resist Rice-All-You-Can or Unli-Rice promo? The buffet that has a lot of yummy choices! More fats, more carbs! I just love eating!
Like what my Cardiologist always tell me, obesity is one of the main causes of health issues like Heart Diseases, Back pain, Stroke, Diabetes, Arthritis and Cancer. Maintaining the right diet & weight is so important.
How to spot Obesity
Obesity is a medical condition in which your body has earned fat that may have unfortunate effect on your health. You are considered overweight if your BMI is 25 above. Obesity is ruled when you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) higher than 25. A normal BMI should be from 18.5 to 24.9. Calculate your BMI with this formula of weight divided by height.
Philippine Obesity Scene
According to a report from United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Philippines like India is in the top list of countries with highest obesity population. It shows that in 2011, 23% of Filipinos are overweight and 6.1% obese, which I believe we should take seriously.
While another survey shows from Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) that 3 out of 10 Filipinos are obese.
Encouraging Activities and Treating Obesity
We cannot just depend on any supplement to reduce weight, right diet and physical activities should be maintained with discipline. We blame the products we use because of lack of energy and enthusiasm, but it doesn't just make wonders immediately if we don't have any activities.
Innogen Pharma came up with two products that will help us to our road to wellness, to complement Filipino cravings for High-Fat and High Carbo diet.
Cindy Patrimonio’s Weight Loss Story
Cindy Patrimonio, wife of celebrity cager Alvin Patrimonio was quick to admit being guilty of Yoyo dieting in her younger days. She would compensate eating her favourite food by spending time at the gym. Working out neutralizes her food intake thus she often rely on her physical activity to maintain her ideal weight.
Problem came when Cindy reached the age where metabolisms slows down drastically, she finds herself not being in control of her weight gain. Caught in harsh criticism of the public, Cindy couldn’t care less as she is only accountable for her own body. Realization only came at the time when she decided that she needs to be healthy for her own sake and her family. This was her turning point.
Cindy quips, I decided I needed to change and start to get healthy last year. I was feeling sluggish, feeling bad about how I looked. Being overweight for 16 years was long enough. I wanted to do it in a healthy and sturdy way. I was also feeling depressed mentally because of certain problems in life and I wanted to divert all that negative energy into something that would be a challenge for me.
Cindy’s biggest challenge was cutting back on her food intake as this is something new to her. She watched a lot of videos and research and soon as she got the hang of it, it was as easy as cooking pancakes according to Cindy.
Another challenge for weight lost is when you run into a plateau, this is common among women and having to level up one’s fitness activity level should be continuous. Lucky for Cindy, Alvin is all out in supporting her and would often find himself accompanying her every now and then during her work out sessions.
