Can I change the amount of FAT cells I have?

Yes is the answer! The belief is that when we are born we are set with a number, in the billions, of fat cells and that our lifestyle will influence the size of them.

FACT is, there are 4 stages in our lives when we can strongly increase or decrease the QUANTITY of FAT cells in our bodies;

1. As a baby in the third trimester
2. Throughout the age of 2 years old
3. During pregnancy (mother)
4. Throughout adolescents

So hypertherically; if I was born with 10 billion fat cells, my lifestyle will influence the size of the fat cells and only the above can influence the quantity I have.

As a mum this information is vital for you to be able protect your children from the rising concerns of degenerative diseases.

How do I work out my BMI? (Body Mass Index)

BMI In 3 Easy Steps… 1. Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself 2. Measure your weight in kilograms 3. Divide the weight by the height squared I.e. Client ‘A’ - 1.54m in height and weight 60kg Therefore: 1.54 x 1.54 = 2.37 then divide this sum into the weight i.e. 60/2.37 = BMI is 25.31 Healthy Range of BMI is 20-25 BMI alone is not a good guide to who is at most risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease, Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetes and related cancers. Use Waist Measurement as a good guide A waist circumference greater than 80cm (32in) for women and 94cm (37in) for men indicates increased risk. Australia’s Government are leading many health campaigns using this measurement as an excellent guide to improving health.
