Throw away your scales and look great in 2008
Healthpoint Chemists invite you to discover a new and exciting FAT loss method where you no longer focus on the reading from your scales but on your fat and muscle mass. The latest technology called Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) accurately measures body fat and muscle. By emphasising and measuring FAT loss instead of weight loss, our program promotes a health-based slimming program and is proven to result in more sustainable weight loss than other diet programs.
BIA is a scientifically validated device that measures your body fat and muscle mass. It also tests cellular health and establishes how well your body is coping with your current lifestyle. Using this information your Naturopath is able to design a personalised plan to detoxify, kick-start fat loss and increase lean muscle mass. Additionally, BIA allows us to monitor and graph your progress. This is a great motivational tool and keeps you focused on losing fat and looking great!
What can our weight loss program offer that others can’t?
Our fat loss program (called the Ketosystem) is designed to burn fat as the body's main source of fuel and, more importantly, maintain lean muscle mass. By maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass, you increase your cellular metabolism, burning more calories, even at rest. Many other dieting programs fail because you lose muscle mass, decreasing your metabolic rate and ability to burn calories. This usually results in a dramatic rebound weight gain and the need to start dieting again. By maintaining lean muscle mass and improving metabolic rate, the Ketosystem offers superior fat loss than other programs and ensures that rebound weight gain is a thing of the past. In addition, you will feel more energetic and embark on a lifetime of healthier eating!
For the months of January, February and March, Healthpoint Naturopaths are offering fat loss and detoxification programs. This will involve a private consultation with one of our Naturopaths, including a FREE cellular health, fat and muscle analysis using BIA, and development of an individualised fat loss or detoxification program.
Start afresh in the New Year by looking thinner and feeling healthier!

Co-enzyme Q10
Some cholesterol medications can reduce more than just cholesterol
There is evidence showing that some cholesterol medications may cause depletion of
co-enzyme Q10 in the body.
Co-enzyme Q10 is valuable to cardiovascular health!
One of the highest concentrations of this vitamin-like nutrient is found in the heart where its action in the mitochondria is important to its healthy function. Supplementing the diet with additional Co-enzyme Q10 may benefit in maintaining the body’s co-enzyme Q10 levels, which may be depleted due to cholesterol medications. It may also improve cardiovascular health and maintain energy levels.
It is important to see your doctor if you are considering using Co-enzyme Q10 and are taking other medications. Co-enzyme Q10 comes in 50mg and 100mg doses and will cost you approximately $1 - $1.60 a day.

Eggs
A word on eggs...... The humble egg has been the source of much scrutiny because of naturally occurring cholesterol, but studies have shown that eating eggs regularly (2 eggs a day for 6 weeks) had no effect on blood cholesterol.
Healthy hints for regular bowel movements
- Drink 2 litres of water a day
- Eat 3 pieces of fruit a day
-
Eat 1 rainbow salad a day (seven different vegetables with a variety of colours)
-
Glass of warm water on rising with lemon juice squeezed in it.
This one works very well for people who suffer from constipation
For the first 5 days, eat 2 kiwifruits at beginning of each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Then continue with 2 kiwifruits before breakfast with 6 prunes and a 1/2 cup plain yoghurt. The enzymes in the kiwifruit help to activate the digestive track, encouraging the movement of the faeces from large intestine.
Bowel massage - can be done on waking. Massage lightly clockwise from the right hip up to the ribs across to the left rigs and down to the left hip. Do this three times around. This helps to activate the perastaltic movement of the large bowel to encourage a bowel motion.
The bowels are most active from 5-7am and 20 minutes after a meal. It is good to allow time after a meal to visit the toilet. Often when we rush in the mornings to get out the door, we do not allow enough time for nature to call.
