Obesity and being overweight can have a negative influence on health, due to the complications that accompany them.The Nutrition and Antiaging Unit aims to reduce body fat and improve associated diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain or lack of energy, improving the quality and life expectancy of the patient.
Weight loss treatments must be 100% individualized
Before undergoing any weight loss treatment, each person's body composition must be taken into account, as well as their specific nutritional needs. It is the only way to achieve lasting results without harming our health. For this, a detailed prior body study will be carried out, with anthropometry, which will allow a personalized plan to be established. It must be taken into account that overweight and obesity are problems that must be treated comprehensively by the specialist, always individually, since personal, social and morphological circumstances must be assessed.
The goal of any weight loss treatment will always be to create a healthy eating habit that, in turn, responds to the particular needs of the patient.
Metabolic study, the best weight loss treatment
The calories that each person needs and the immediate principles used (carbohydrates, fats or proteins) are one of the functions of the mitochondrial cells. With the study of energy metabolism (both at rest and during physical exercise) the ability of mitochondria to reduce energy can be evaluated and to know what type of food is being used. Thus, it is possible to scientifically know what is the optimal diet, as well as what type of exercise and intensity is the most suitable for losing weight, possible cardio metabolic diseases, aging or anti aging and the immune system.
The metabolic study, both at rest and doing physical exercise, is the only way to know which foods make each person more or less fat. It is a test that is carried out on an empty stomach for 3 hours. The patient must lie on a stretcher on his back, breathing through a mask, which is connected with a tube to a gas analyzer. The technology used is called indirect calorimetry, and it assesses the formation of heat by the body and where the calories burned come from (whether from fats, carbohydrates or proteins). It is a painless and harmless technique, which only consists of the patient being relaxed for about 20 minutes.
Recover your figure by combining body treatments with diet
Depending on the characteristics of each individual, the specialist will make a personalized diet that can be combined with body treatments, in addition to physical exercise.
Some of these treatments will be :
- Electrotherapy. Medical Electro Stimulation and ultrasounds of various powers and frequencies are techniques that favor the stimulation of the venous and lymphatic system, reducing cellulite, activating the fatty tissue to increase its energy expenditure and benefiting post surgical recovery in operations such as liposuction.
- Pressotherapy. It is indicated in disorders of vascular insufficiency, cellulitis, varicose veins, obesity, lymphedema or edema, among other pathologies.
- Body radiofrequency. It is indicated for flaccidity and cellulite. With the action of heat, the immediate tightening of the skin is achieved, stimulating the creation of collagen.
- Elimination of localized fat. The fat of the abdomen requires a multifactorial treatment : you have to monitor your diet, plan a specific localized treatment with medical equipment in a personalized way and, of course, do physical exercises that help the final goal. Ultrasounds are a technique, destroying fat cells and promoting volume loss. In this way, the contour is reduced and fat accumulations are treated, without the need for surgery.
