Do you harbor a hidden enemy? |
|
Are you harboring the Metabolic Syndrome, the silent killer? The enemy that may cause a heart attack, stroke or diabetes?
How would you know? Take your waist measurement! The alarming number is 102cm for a man. A waist measurement bigger than this may signal the presence of the Metabolic Syndrome.
For a woman the red light flickers at 88cm (waist circumference). If you exceed these waist measurements, much of your fat is packed around your organs. You therefore have dangerous internal abdominal fat which secretes toxins that continuously cause damage to your heart, kidneys and liver!
Enough for today!
Next time we name and shame a second alarming number and some more statistics.
And the good news is that help is at hand. Visit the MNI website for more information on Metabolic Syndrome and MNI products! www.mnilifestyle.co.za

Why are French women slim? |
|
I have just been to Paris – and French woman really are all slim. Well 95% of them anyway!
What’s their big secret?
Simple. Simple eating. They always make the “better choice” and their portion sizes are small (by my standards anyway!!).
Yes they also know how to indulge; but wisely so! They eat chocolate – but only a small bit at a time and then only chocolate of the highest quality. They remove the fat from everything - Bacon, Steak, chicken! Every salad is equipped with Artichokes (my new best low density carb), asparagus & green beans. They spend ages eating bits and pieces of this gorgeous food at one sitting – they enjoy every mouthful. French woman know how to eat. They only eat good food, which means that they don’t gobble down, but savor every little morsel. The more you buy only good food, the more you learn to savor. The more you learn to savor, the more you learn to enjoy the act of eating and not of gobbling down chunks of junk.
The experience has left me appreciating the sheer enjoyment of eating a healthy meal, and enjoying it.
The Lighthouse Weightloss system is the epitome of this eating style. Which has made me read my booklet again and again and again, since I have returned from my travels.

You say tomatoe, I say tomato…….. you say low density lipids, I say high density lipids. You say fat, I say saturated Fat!
What is Cholesterol actually?
Cholesterol is a fat like substance, naturally found in the bodies of all humans and animals. It has many important functions that are essential to the body.
TOO MUCH cholesterol causes hardening of the arteries, a degenerative medical condition leading to heart attacks and strokes!
How do you combat Cholesterol levels being off the chart?
To lower your cholesterol levels start by avoiding too many foods that are high in saturated fat: Red meat, organ meat, full cream milk, cream, cream cheese, butter, bacon, biscuits, cakes, pies, tarts, chips, ice-cream, coffee creamers………. Does this sound like your Easter weekend?
Although diet plays an important role there are also other factors that can elevate cholesterol levels. There are those people who have generic tendencies to have raised cholesterol levels.
If diet alone, does not lower your cholesterol levels, you consider medication. Hesitant to commit yourself to scheduled and prescribed medication? Well, the good news is that a scheduled drug need not be your first line of treatment. Consider RyChol . RyChol is a natural product that offers you an excellent alternative and has virtually no side effects. Research and trials has shown that RyChol is the only natural product on the market that has the ability to compete with the schedule 4 cholesterol lowering drugs.
Don’t become another statistic! Have your Cholesterol checked today!
