This is an important slide to understand. We gain weight and find it hard to keep it off, because of these 6 key factors.

1) Our foods we eat have too much FAT (Trans Fat)

2) Our body's Glucose Metabolism is too low, so it triggers our mind to want to eat sweet, cakes etc. So it is NOT your fault that you can't control yourself. We can change that!

3) We live in a stressful society. Stress releases cortisol. Cortisol converts to sugars (to be usesd for energy to releive the stress; which we don't use). Unused Sugars become Fat and is stored in our body.

4) Unhealthy diets that cause both fat and muscle to be depleted. When muscle is low, it can't burn calories, therefore we gain even more fat! Thus creating yo-yo effects.

5) If we are fat, we already have too much fat and too little muscle. So no muscle to burn fat & calories.

6) As we age, our body metabolism is lower, however, as we continue to eat the same diet, we start to gain more fat (since our body can't process it like it did when you were in your 20's).

Since there are no muscles in the 'middle' of your body, it is EXTREMELYdifficult to reduce. And this is the LEADING cause of Cardiovasculat Disease, Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressue. Find out your Visceral Fat pecentage TODAY!

This is how Excessive Fat effects your Liver (Fatty Liver) and surrounds your Kidney (Yellow layers). Do you know now, how very important it is to reduce Visceral Fat?

Have you every thought about this before? Well, as you see, if you want to lose 1kg of FAT; which is equal to 7700 kCal, you will need to run 35 HOURS!

Exercise is good for joints, blood circulation, general well being, however, to exercise to lose weight, it is highly inefficient, unless you combine it with a VERY disciplined diet. Typically after a good exercise, most will rewardthemselves with super or a meal; which negates the exercise in the 1st place!!!

By slowly adjusting your fat storage, carbo craving, sugar and fat metabolism, glucose regulations and stress control, this multi-faceted approach with the right nutrition (good food habits) and exercise (moderate),you will lose between 6-12kg in 90days!

Visceral Fat Explained

Recent findings on internal fat called Visceral Fat has raised an alarming concern among those that are overweight and 'slim' (yes slim people have it too!). Visceral Fat is fat in the abdominal/trunk area. They surround internal organs and may cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and Type II Diabetes. The only way to reduce Visceral Fat is to 1) Exercise. However, brisk walking for 3 hours will only maintain it. 2) A special Conjugated Linoliec Acid (CLA) can help squeeze out the fat from the cells.

Find out your Visceral Fat with a Fat Analysis Machine. Anything above 9% is high risk! Ideally, men should be between 5-7, while women should be between 2-4.

豬腳？雞皮？ 膠原蛋白吃下去

喜宴上，昔日好友凑成一桌，好像开高中同学会，怎麽保养成为话题焦点。胶原蛋白对皮肤有好处吗？吃猪脚、鸡皮能补充吗？不过，「吃胶原蛋白，补胶原蛋白」的食补理论，至今尚未得到证实。

胶原蛋白是人体含量最多的结构性蛋白质，可作为结缔组织的黏合物质，使血管密实完整，肌肉有张力，关节软骨、韧带、肌腱、骨骼、眼角膜等器官健全。

美容医学证明，年青的皮肤主要是胶原蛋白撑出来的，随着老化，一旦皮下胶原蛋白新陈的速度（合成），赶不上代谢的速度（分解），就会让皮肤逐渐失去弹性，肌肉松弛而产生皱纹。

但从营养角度来说，食物中的胶原蛋白，我们「吃得到」却「得不到」！而且，身体要合成胶原蛋白，并非有较多的胶原蛋白原料即可，必须依组织新陈代谢需要，以及各人合成能力决定。

首先，胶原蛋白是大分子，由超过一千个以上胺基酸组成，需要被分解成小分子的胜肽和胺基酸，才能被小肠吸收进入血液循环，分解後的型态已不是胶原蛋白了。

从胶原蛋白而来的胺基酸，进入血液後会被送到肝脏，和其他食物来源的胺基酸，以及身体自己合成的胺基酸，一起存入肝脏的胺基酸原料库中。

当身体各个组织需要合成新的蛋白质时，就会从胺基酸原料库去选取，重新按着遗传密码排列组合成各种的组织蛋白，以维持新陈代谢。如果过量摄取蛋白质（包括胶原蛋白），身体有太多胺基酸，也会被转变成热量，或储存成脂肪。因此，从食物补充胶原蛋白并不能如愿增加体内胶原蛋白，过多反而增加脂肪。

反过来说，如果饮食中没有摄取到胶原蛋白，是否身体就无法合成胶原蛋白呢？事实也不是如此。

合成胶原蛋白的原料主要是甘胺酸（glycin）、脯胺酸（prolin）、羟脯胺酸（hydroxyprolin），这些都是「非必须胺基酸」，也就是说身体可经由转胺作用自行合成，它们的获得不必依赖特定食物。

只要身体健康，细胞合成蛋白质能力正常，加上一般均衡饮食就够了。其实，胶原蛋白的减少是因胶原母细胞分泌荷尔蒙不足所致，并不是缺乏胶原蛋白原料。

不过饮食中若缺乏维他命C，胶原蛋白就无法合成了，因为维生素C是重要的辅酵素，可以把胶原蛋白上的脯胺酸还原成羟脯胺酸，完成胶原蛋白的制造。如果要预防胶原蛋白减少，补充维他命C比补充胶原蛋白来的有效且重要。

身体无法自行制造维他命C，应该由饮食来补充。卫生署建议，健康成人每天应摄取100毫克维他命C，可从柳橙、芭乐、奇异果等食物中获得。

从昂贵的鱼翅、蹄筋到便宜的动物胶食品，都号称含胶原蛋白，其实早在30年前，研究已经证实胶原蛋白是不完全的蛋白质，并不能提供动物成长所需胺基酸，因此被评为生物价值低的蛋白质。

曾几何时，为了「面子问题」，胶原蛋白却成了声名大噪、价格不菲的营养品。建议大家，应以科学实证为基础，以免花钱却买不到好处。

肥胖为健康带来的问题

和標準體重的人比較起來，被判定為肥胖者的疾病發生率如下：
變形性膝關節症等的關節障礙	1.5 倍
心臟血管障礙	2 倍
高尿酸血症或痛風	2.5 倍
膽結石或不孕症	3 倍
高血壓	3.5 倍
糖尿病	5 倍

肥胖	死亡率
超過20%	死亡率是標準體重者的1.2倍
超過40%	死亡率是標準體重者的1.5倍
超過50%	死亡率是標準體重者的 2 倍

如何测试自己的理想体重呢？

男性：

     （体高-80）x 0.7

女性：

     （体高-70）x 0.6

以下是卫生署的理想体重表：- 

BMI是世界公认的一种评定肥胖程度的分级方法，目前世界卫生组织（WHO）也以BMI来对肥胖或超重进行定义。 BMI具体计算方法是以体重的千克数除以身高平方（米为单位）。

Body Mass Index (BMI) 体质指数： BMI =              体重（KG） ————————————           体高 x 体高 （m2)       类别 亚洲人 健康风险 过轻 < 18.5 缺乏营养和骨质疏松症的风险 正常 18.5 - 22.9 健康 超重 23 - 26.9 中风险 一级肥胖 27 - 29.9 高风险 二级肥胖 > 30 极高风险 有了这一些数据，你是否该为自己的健康好好思考一番呢？该是为你的健康投资一些时间了！

你相信肥胖是会传染的吗？

More Singaporeans are too fat

By Chong Zi Liang 

SINGAPOREANS are losing the battle of the bulge, with one in 10 - or 10.8 per cent of the population - being obese.
This is up from 6.9 per cent in 2004, according to the latest National Health Survey.
The findings of the survey, which is conducted by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) every six years, were revealed yesterday at the launch of the annual National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign.
The growing rate of obesity can be blamed on two main factors - Singaporeans are not exercising enough, and they are not eating properly.
The bad news comes despite many efforts over the years to promote healthy living through exercise and proper diet.
While the obesity figure is not as high as in other developed countries, such as in the United States, where one in three people is obese, the HPB still sees cause for concern.
'This is a very worrying trend for us,' said HPB chief executive officer Lam Pin Woon yesterday.
Singapore's obesity trend - a 0.65 per cent increase a year - is similar to that seen in the US and Britain 30 years ago.
Obesity in these countries has become a major problem.
'We have to do something now. Otherwise, 30 years down the road, we'll be where the US and Britain are now,' Mr Lam said.
But it will be an uphill battle, judging from other findings of the survey.
Although more people are exercising, more than half of Singapore's population still do not exercise at all.
Six in 10 Singaporeans eat out, a trend which worries nutritionists. Home-cooked meals are deemed healthier as one can exercise control over the amount of salt and seasoning used.
'If you ask me: Am I happy? My answer is 'no', even though there is improvement,' said Mr Lam, referring to the number of Singaporeans who do not exercise. 'This is of special concern, given that we are now more sedentary in our lifestyles.'
The board is rolling out new programmes to fight the flab.
As evidence shows that chronic conditions, including obesity, have their origins when one is still in the mother's womb, the board wants to encourage expectant mothers to cultivate good eating habits.
Dr Annie Ling, director of the HPB's adult health division, said: 'There is some evidence to show that the rate of weight-gain of the foetus impacts the subsequent risk for developing obesity.'
Weight issues among the young in Singapore is a special area for concern, said general practitioner Alvin Tan, 30: 'Children who are obese tend to develop other health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes earlier in life.'
To encourage better eating habits among the young, the HPB will be introducing guidelines to protect children from the indiscriminate advertising and marketing of unhealthy food and beverage choices.
Yesterday's launch of the National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign was held at VivoCity's amphitheatre, where the guest of honour, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, sweated it out to the Great Singapore Workout with a 1,000-strong crowd. Mr Goh shared with the audience his exercise regime, which includes playing tennis and going to the gym twice a week, and golf once a week.
VivoCity is also the first of 50 shopping centres to sign up as a Health Promoting Mall.
Such malls are encouraged to host activities which encourage a healthy lifestyle. For instance, the food courts and restaurants could provide healthier meal choices, and the pharmacies could provide counselling to help smokers kick the habit.

     新加坡人日渐肥胖和大马人有什么关系啊？

     是没什么关系，不过我觉得新国和我们的生活方式是最相近的了！不论是饮食或生活方式。只是新国的脚步比我们还要快些。新国流行的事，很快就会传到我们这来。

     如果今天新国人肥胖的问题已经成为一个关注，那么明天是不是轮到我们了呢？

     这是一则去年11月的报道，而大家有没有发现，大马是还没公布国人的肥胖率增进多少，不过这几个月大马的电视台、电台、报纸，到处可见一些健康意识的广告。这些在意谓些什么呢？你们想想吧！

     下一回我会分享肥胖为健康带来的问题！
