Welcome
Today, more than ever, Health & Wellness are at the top of our minds.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 69%of South African women and 41% of South African men are overweight. This compares with the global average of 51% for women and 47% for men. The 2012 survey also found that about 28% of South African men and 45% of women are unfit, that one in five smoke and that over one in four women and one in five men have high cholesterol
Being overweight (BMI of > 25) has, according to the WHO, a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy. People are looking for an effective way to not only lose weight but also keep it off.
As a doctor specialising in the field of Bariatric Medicine (the field of obesity and metabolism), I am excited to be a part of bringing this programme to you.
HealthPointe employs proven weight loss concepts in a simple and easy to use program that uses real food, not gimmicks, to help you lose the weight you want, and learn how to keep it off as well. HealthPointe’s programme encourages the right kind of snacking and there is no strenuous exercise involved. With obesity being linked to increases in heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and even certain kinds of cancer, maintaining a healthy weight is increasingly important. Even a modest weight loss can have health benefits.
Many people around the world have lost the weight they wanted following these proven concepts utilised in the HealthPointe programme. Make the decision today, and begin to live a healthier life!
