With growing overweight and overfat population, there
is a growing demand for dieting and list of diets is
getting longer each day. Majority of diets available do
not focus on balanced nutrition and cash in on the
promise of a quick, and usually, massive weight loss
counting on the lack of knowledge about dangers of
unhealthy diets.
Fad diets rarely focus on balanced nutrition and can
impacts badly on our health by destroying good,
healthy tissue, can causes you to look bad and the
damage caused to the body can extend to a long term
problem and can develop conditions such as
osteoporosis because of the nutritional deficiencies
that body gets exposed to.

The amount of body fat you carry,
your body fat
percentage, makes a difference to
your body shape
and your health. Your shape is
affected by body fat
percentage because muscle tissue is
more compact
than fat - a balloon containing 1lb
of muscle tissue
would be smaller than a balloon
containing 1lb of fat!
So, a woman, 5' 6" tall weighing
140lbs (10 stone)
with 20% body fat will look slimmer
than a woman of
the same height and weight who has a
higher ratio of
body fat.
This is exactly the reason why
traditional Body Mass
Index is quite an outdated way of
looking at how
healthy your weight is. Sports
people such as body
builders can be obese on BMI scale,
however, their
body fat can resemble the body fat
of an athlete. Take
a free test to measure your body fat
levels.

According to the research, every day in the UK, 85%
men and 69% women eat too much salt. Salt is not
always just what we shake on our food, or add a pinch
to cooking as, according to the research, 75% of the
salt we eat is already in the food that we buy, so, it is
very easy to eat more than we realise.
Eating too much salt has impact on our health where
raised blood pressure is one of the first
consequences. And people with high blood pressure
are three times more likely to develop heart disease
or have a stroke than people with normal blood
pressure. Here is some help to help you be aware of
