Obesity has become a major issue in the UAE. According to a survey made by Zurich International Life last year, 47.5 per cent of UAE residents were overweight, with a BMI between 25 and 30, while another 13 per cent were obese, with a BMI over 30. Since the average BMI in the UAE is 25.6, the average UAE resident is considered overweight.
Over 60 per cent of Emirati nationals are overweight, and unfortunately this figure is expected to rise. The number of overweight or obese adults and children has continued to increase and is a trend that is not slowing down. The Ministry of Health made a survey few years ago showing more than half of the children attending schools are unhealthy. The MOH surveyed 26,781 children in government schools in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The study has shown that 16.1 per cent were obese, 32.3 per cent were overweight and 4.4% were morbidly obese.
Dr. Afra Bin Katta from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) said: “Visceral fat cells release fatty acids to the liver, pancreas, heart and other organs causing organ dysfunction, which in turn leads to insulin resistance higher levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases. It’s also associated with breast cancer and with infertility in men.”
To reduce visceral fat, Dr Philippe Blanchemaison, specialist in Angiology and Vascular Medicine and lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Paris V, said: “A painless technique employed globally and published in recognised medical journals, ReduStim delivers significant lasting results, has no metabolic constraints and respects the natural biological processes of the human body.”
ReduStim offers hope for patients suffering from visceral fat. It is a medical device (class IIa) based on an innovative approach, that aims at progressively eliminating, by biomagnetic activation, the subcutaneous fat as well as the excess fat (abdominal or visceral fat), responsible among other things for certain cardiovascular diseases, strokes, cancers as well as male and female infertility, in particular in obese patients.
The ReduStim BioMagnetic activation is realised through the application of a low frequency alternating Biomagnetic field (house current type), without adverse effects on the body. This painless technology has been successfully clinically tested during the last 15 years. The Biomagnetic activation specifically targets the calcium ions (calcium channels) contained in the membranes of all muscles cells. Biologically, it is the calcium that triggers the muscle’s contraction. The medical device offers a 100 per cent hands-free clinically recognised treatment for visible results; an average loss of 6 cm on the waistline in 6 hours.
Dr Ghislaine Beilin, Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Practitioner added: “The Redustim technique permits global management of all parts of the body: arms, buttocks, thighs, calves and above all waist circumference. The device is safe, efficient and proven and brings prestige to aesthetics because it is also indicated for treating metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity.”
