Overweight
The excessive weight affects a big group of population in certain parts of the world, including the Czech Republic. If this was not the case the average life expectancy would be about ten years longer, diabetes and heart attacks would be reduced and the number of fit, sexually healthy people would be increased. There are many theories how to slim. It is unfortunately obvious that the only right and scientific way of „slimming” of population is very complex one.
There are many methods how we can help our clients in Asklepion. The answer is a thorough diagnosis, which not only measures basic data such as the width of fat layer, the proportion of weight, age, height etc., but specifically determines the basic values of metabolism of each client.
The new method of treatment of overweight patients, which is very popular in Czech Republic, is the endoscopic method of introducing of a „balloon” through the oesophagus into the stomach, where it is filled with liquid and gives the feeling of adequate hunger satisfaction because of limited space for other food.
The other potential way included is the control of internal functions such as hormonal balance, which is assessed by testing and individual diagnosis.
The assessment of the individual’s eating habits is a natural approach in the treatment of overweight. Modern science has proved that the complete answer is not only in the reduction of diet fats but also carbohydrates and on the contrary in the sufficient intake of proteins.
The other principal part of our treatment is sustaining the healthy intensity and length of moves during exercises. It is important that the burning of fats has to be optimal and should not lead to an exaggerated stress and an exhaustion of the body.
Sometimes there is not so marked problem of general overweight but of the disproportional distribution of fats accumulation around e.g. hips and thighs. Here it is indicated to use a gentle liposuction under the general or local anaesthetic, exceptionally also the plastic surgical remodelling of these parts of the client’s body.
For the prevention and the modelling of the ideal figure, but also for the treatment of associated cellulite, there are very important specific cosmetic programmes, used regularly in Asklepion with Orlane and Decleor and also the body machines such as Dermosonic and Aerosonic.
Every day Asklepion also offers to clients the chance communicate on-line via the Internet or SMS/text about their relevant problems. The doctors involved with the treatment can check the daily plans of patients.
