Eat right, combat obesity
MALAYSIA is known for its delicious yet calorie-laden foods such as char kuey teow, mee goreng, roti canai and nasi lemak.
Such foods far exceed the required amount of calories needed per meal.
This contributes to Malaysians consuming more than their recommended daily calorie intake, which is roughly 2,400 calories for men and 1,700 calories for women.
Compound that with the lack of physical activities and you have a growing rate of obesity. Local obesity statistics are getting scarier by the day.
The World Health Organization (WHO) survey in 2010 ranked Malaysia sixth in Asia for adult obesity.
The results also showed that 60% of Malaysians aged 18 and above, had a BMI over 25, which means the person is overweight.
Managing weight and curbing obesity start with control over food intake – by consuming less carbohydrates, sugar and fatty food and increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
At the same time, it is advisable to exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week.
But in today’s hectic lifestyle, not many are able to keep to a regular diet and vigorous exercise regime.
Natural way to lose weight
The unique combination of natural ingredients – African Mango, Yerba Mate and Garcinia Cambogia – supports the body’s biochemical process to enhance weight management naturally.
African Mango Irvingia Gabonesis reduces hunger by stimulating the leptin hormone, which tells the body it has had enough to eat, and by also delaying stomach emptying, which causes the feeling of being full longer.
Fibre found in African Mango works to hold back hunger. It is also a natural detoxifying fruit that helps purge the system of harmful toxins, a vital step for overall health.
African Mango also assists in burning fat, increasing metabolism, promoting better digestion and preventing over-eating, which can be helpful in weight loss.
Yerba Mate helps in weight loss by acting as an appetite suppressant, increasing caloric burn, metabolic effectiveness and improving effectiveness of other weight loss herbs when combined.
It is the ideal slimming remedy that facilitates losing weight in a natural way and curbs the distressing feelings of hunger.
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) extracts from the Garcinia Cambogia plant is said to block fats by inhibiting citrate lyase, a key enzyme that the body needs to make fats from carbohydrates.
Usually, unused carbohydrates or sugars in the body are converted into fats. When HCA inhibits citrate lyase, the fat-making process is halted and the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides decreases, which keeps body toned, firm and helps reduce flabbiness around the body, especially at the underarms and thighs.
