As we age, our metabolism slows, and lifestyle changes often lead to weight gain; over 60% of Singaporean workers report weight gain after starting their jobs. Consistency in exercise and diet is vital for a healthier body, though it can be difficult for busy individuals.
Amaris B. Clinic offers a customised weight loss program focused on sustainable lifestyle changes. For those with stubborn fat, Vaser Liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure by Dr Ivan Puah, effectively targets specific areas to boost body confidence and health.
As we get older, our metabolism naturally slows down.
The change in lifestyle, from students to working adults, plays a large part in our weight gain and loss, too.
Many Singaporeans have tried going on fad diets, but they end up on a yo-yo diet, where one loses an amount of weight, and then gains it all back…and then some.
The cycle repeats, but it only brings more harm than good to the body.
There are a variety of reasons we gain weight when we enter the workforce – stress and age are among the most obvious.
While you can’t stop your body from ageing, stress is something we can control (or at least, learn to manage).
In a JobsCentral online survey in 2013, it found that 61.7% of Singaporean workers have gained weight since starting work, and 16.8% of those surveyed have gained “at least 20kg since joining the workforce”.
This is also consistent with the results of a Health Promotion Board (HPB) study.
Men put on more weight than women
According to The Straits Times, the average Singaporean is 3kg heavier than they were decades ago.
Both studies also show that men put on more weight than women, even though women are more prone to gaining weight.
While the HPB study showed that the cause of this weight gain was an increase in calorie intake (2% above their recommended intake), the JobsCentral survey showed that 76.1% of respondents said it was due to a lack of time and energy for exercise.
Achieving A Slim And Healthy Body Doesn’t Have To Be Hard
Sticking to an exercise regimen or a meal plan for the diet you’re following can be very difficult.
This takes a lot of discipline and willpower, which is rather difficult for the majority of working people.
But with the help of a professional and a weight loss plan that is designed for your body’s needs, it doesn’t have to be a chore.
Amaris B. Clinic’s customised weight loss program has helped many Singaporeans to lose weight, adopt a healthier lifestyle and take control of obesity-related conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and arthritis.
Losing the extra kilos is about getting the life-saving and life-changing benefits that come along with it, like lower blood cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.
You’ll also have reduced pain, fewer medications, increased mobility and energy, and improved sleep, leading to better overall quality of life.
Individualised approach to healthy weight loss
Amaris B. Clinic’s individualised approach to healthy weight loss addresses each Singaporean client’s unique medical, nutritional, and fitness needs.
With that data, we can identify realistic lifestyle changes, assist with goal-setting, and help patients start on a path to sustainable weight loss and better health.
Even after losing the extra kilos, stubborn areas of fat remain?
Vaser Liposuction: Trimming stubborn fat
Going on the Vaser Liposuction treatment, a minimally invasive liposuction technique, can help with that. It can target fat in specific areas, like the arms, and effectively get rid of those bingo wings.
This can be the solution for extremely stubborn, seemingly impossible fats that won’t shift with dieting and exercise alone.
Vaser Liposuction utilises ultrasound waves to selectively destroy fat cells through emulsification, enhancing skin tightening that is not achievable with traditional liposuction, resulting in more defined, slimmer arms.
Guided by Dr Ivan Puah of the Amaris B. Clinic, medical director and Chairman of Lipo Peer Review Committee, Singaporeans will be able to achieve a healthier you and regain body confidence.
