Edmark launches 90-day slimming challenge

Have you notice that you can't fit in your favorite clothes lately? Do you feel your excess weight, especially around your midsection, make it harder for you to breath, making simple tasks like walking up stairs difficult?


Chances are you’d gained unreasonable weight.  Or you may be obese already.

Obesity is defined as having excess proportion of total body fat. Analyzing your body mass index or BMI is one of the most common ways to measure or determine if you are obese or not. A person is considered obese when his or her weight is 20% or more above normal weight. In the Asian category of the data from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, you are already overweight if your BMI is between 24 and 26.9. Meanwhile, a person is already considered obese if his or her BMI is over 27.



Who Should Lose Weight and Why

The impact of being overweight or obese has on your body is one of the main reasons to lose weight. The more weight you gain, the more at risk you put yourself for some serious medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis and  some forms of cancer.


According to the American Heart Association, an estimated 112,000 people die every year from conditions related to being overweight or obese. In the Philippines, a 2011 survey by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) showed that 22.3% of Filipino adults are overweight and 6.1% are obese.  The prevalence of overweight Filipinos is expected to increase significantly by 2015, which means more health problems ahead. If this trend continues, it is highly likely that more will suffer from high risk diseases that could lead to death.

Being overweight or obese also prevents you from being in top physical condition. Exercise that leads to weight loss will help you get back your physique and make it easier to perform the everyday tasks that now seem difficult. Even losing a moderate amount of weight when you're obese -- 5 to 10 percent -- can significantly reduce your risk for chronic disease.


Lose To Win: Edmark’s 90-day slimming challenge

Knowing the disadvantages and health risks of obesity, some 70 individuals from all walks of life accepted the 90-day challenge of Edmark Philippines dubbed Lose To Win, launched recently at its Quezon City headquarters.

No less than Edmark International Chairman and CEO Sam Low, who came all the way from Malaysia, welcomed the challengers and delivered fiery message to encourage everyone – the challengers and Edmarkers – in the newest project and in their business as well.

Edmark Group of Companies, a multi-million dollar company with market presence in over 25 countries and is involved in various business interests from manufacturing, is also known for its weight loss business through its P4 Healthy and Slimming Program. Known worldwide for its high quality and effective food supplements, the company initially challenged its staff to undergo the program.
  

Gaining back one’s Self-Confidence
For many, how much you weigh has a direct influence on how you feel about yourself. Some people are even embarrassed about going out in public because of their weight. And people who lose weight and keep it off end up feeling not only better physically, but emotionally as well.
Most challengers know this. And to further encourage them on their new journey, Andrew Griffiths traveled all the way from South Africa to personally show off his changed body and share his personal testimony. From 240 kg., Edward shed 48 kg using the P4 program and has maintained his ideal weight ever since. Aside from great body, good health and self-confidence which he gained, he also found great business opportunity with Edmark's P4!

In the Philippines, these changes are evident in the growth of digital payment systems, online meeting platforms, electronic health services, online retail, direct delivery services, and many others. However, with increasing connectivity comes increasing cyber threats. That’s why efficient solutions and infrastructure are essential in combating cyber threats and ensuring business survival.
