In addition, an elevated IMC is an important risk factor in illnesses such as:
- Cardio-vascular diseases, especially cardio-pathic cases and cerebro-vascular accidents
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Disorders of the locomotive system, especially osteo-arthritis
- Cancers of the uterine lining, breast, colon and others
- Hormonal alterations
- Sleep alterations (sleep apnoea)
- Psychological disorders (depression, low self-esteem).
Bariatric surgery has demonstrated its efficacy as a therapeutic alternative for controlling morbid obesity and its comorbidities. Proper preparation of the patient prior to bariatric surgery is essential, and the following benefits have been demonstrated:
- Improved weight loss
- Reduced IMC
- Reduced cardiovascular risk
- Facilitation of the surgical process
At Vegenat Healthcare, we have designed nutritional solutions to address excessive weight gain in the most health-conscious manner. With the specific product to control weight, we achieve weight loss while preserving muscle mass and improving comorbidities associated with obesity and the patient’s quality of life.
