So much more to consider than diet and exercise alone!

Obesity is now considered a worldwide epidemic. It is characterised by a complex picture of underlying abnormalities, including oxidative stress, immune and cellular dysfunction as well as chronic low-grade inflammation.

Despite an increase in understanding of these underlying abnormalities there still exists a widespread belief that weight gain and weight loss is as simple as calculating and adjusting “calories in” (through dietary intake) versus “calories out” (through activity and energy expenditure). This oversimplification of a complex and chronic condition, often leads to stigmatisation and judgement towards individuals who are blamed for lacking the willpower to make the necessary diet and lifestyle changes. However, these changes are made more difficult in the face of disease processes in which individuals are metabolically wired to a state of weight gain.

Inflammation is one of a number of potential metabolic abnormalities which is thought to be both a cause and consequence of obesity.

While individual behaviour and lifestyle changes are essential for successful weight loss, working with a natural healthcare professional can assist in identifying underlying disease processes which may be limiting the progress in achieving your health goals.

Found in the skin, flesh and juice of pineapple, Bromelain has broad anti-inflammatory effects. Bromelain acts to reduce fibrinogen, vascular permeability, and pro-inflammatory mediators. If that’s not an excuse to eat all the juicy pineapple this summer, then we don’t know what is 🍍🍍
