Weight loss program

 

According to a new groundbreaking study published in the medical journal, Lancet, South Africa has the highest overweight and obesity rate in sub-Saharan Africa. The study indicates that seven out of ten women and four out of ten men have significantly more body fat than what is deemed healthy. Being overweight and obese is associated with serious health risks such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels, just to name a few.

 

At Extreme Wellness & Soma Solutions we do not consider weight loss as strict dieting, but rather as a lifestyle change. To ensure the highest quality of standards of our weight loss program a wellness questionnaire is completed and wellness screening is conducted. The wellness questionnaire gives our consultants an overview of the different body systems, dietary hobbits and medical history.

 

The wellness screening that is conducted includes:

• Measuring Height

• Weighing

• Measuring of waist circumference

• Measuring of waist-to-hip ratio

•  Providing the BMI

• Measuring Blood Pressure and Pulse

• Measuring Glucose ( Blood Sugar levels)

• Full Lipid screening (Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides and HDL– Cholesterol Ratio).
