5 steps to a permanently healthy body weight

How many times have you tried to lose weight only to end up gaining it all back and more? Well, you are not alone. It is estimated that out of all the people in the world that go on weight loss programmes, spending billions of dollars on everything from dietary supplements to food to weight loss gadgets, only about 1% achieve the long term results they desire and the only thing they lose is money! Why?

Much of the reason is ignorance. Ignorance about the nature of food, buying into misleading marketing of food products, which leads to poor eating habits and a lack of knowledge about the way the body absorbs and stores food. Many so-called weight loss programmes actually make you gain weight rather than lose weight, which is even worse. Their advice is misleading at best, exploiting peoples desire to lose weight to make a quick buck.

We at Adeva would like to guide you safely through the weight loss jungle.

With the help of experienced medical experts and dieticians, we have devised a weight management programme that aims to help you make informed choices about the way you eat and live. In order to successfully lose and maintain a healthy body weight, the first step is to get your free copy of the Adeva Weight Management Programme booklet and join the programme.

Remember - all journeys, no matter where or how far the destination, start with a single first step…

The magic of fruits and biofla

October 2007

According to the World Health Organisation, low fruit and vegetable intake is among the top 10 selected risk factors for global mortality. Many of us already know this. But have you ever wondered why? Why would every doctor in the world tell you to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables? They are healthy, yes, they are full of antioxidants, true, but what is it exactly about fruits and vegetables that make them so important for the body? The answer lies in their colour. Think of kiwis, pineapples, oranges, grapes, apples, squashes, aubergines – like most other vegetables and fruits they are all very, very colourful. The reason? They are all rich in bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids (the name might be new to you, but it’s a name you should never forget) are pigment-rich phytochemicals that plants produce to protect themselves and coincidently are also responsible for the vibrant colours of fruit, vegetables and even flowers. But bioflavonoids are more than just colour pigment. These natural plant components also strengthen and protect living tissue. And they play a vital role in maintaining a healthy body and fighting several of the most common and debilitating diseases. In the human body bioflavonoids act as master immunity builders, restoring the balance between healthy cells and free radical cells that can be harmful and cause disease. As a result bioflavonoids, especially proanthocyanidins (the most potent of all bioflavonoids), have been used in Europe since the 1950’s for the treatment of a great number of medical conditions. The four most important properties of proanthocyanidins (OPC) are collagen binding, inhibition of inflammation, anti-histamine and antioxidant. Its healing qualities have been proven to increase blood circulation, build cartilage, increase the body’s immune system by eliminating free radicals, have anti-aging effects and many more – all of which can relieve and prevent a great number of diseases and uncomfortable conditions. In this month’s Nature Knows Better we take a look at what bioflavonoids can do for you in practice and the different roles that they play in fighting disease and keeping our immune systems in top gear.

What the doctors say

“It is widely accepted that many lifestyle diseases are the result of unhealthy living and people can do a great deal to protect themselves by altering their diets to include healthy nutrients, by avoiding toxins and doing some exercise. Research health programmes have proven the positive effect of such changes on the health of Namibians.” – Dr. M.H. Greeff, Windhoek
