Polypill not the only answer to improving our health

So there’s a new tablet called the polypill to be launched to help reduce our risk of stroke/heart disease and lots more. Of course this is good news but in the time that it takes for this pill to be launched, we as a nation can dramatically reduce our risk of heart disease, developing type 2 diabetes and cancer and reduce our risk of stroke by making a few simple changes to our lifestyle. Even a 10% weight reduction if we are overweight or obese will effect dramatic improvements to our health and this can be achieved by eating less fat, taking more exercise and moderating our alcohol consumption. I firmly believe that we should take responsible steps ourselves to save our lives rather than take a pill.

The benefits to our self-esteem when we lose weight are dramatic and there is no doubt that the products and services that we offer within our organisation are helping thousands of people on a daily basis. It was so heart-warming to meet so many successful slimmers who came to our Stand at the Vitality Show last weekend. If you need help, log on to
