Walking through the streets of our cities, we meet more and more people whose appearance indicates that their body weight deviates from the set standard. Such weight abnormalities can range from a small, several kilograms overweight to a morbid obesity that not only threatens health, but in extreme cases even life. We must honestly say to ourselves that we are getting fatter and that this unpleasant condition is already considered by specialists to be a social disease, and at the same time one of the most difficult to cure. Even these few kilograms more should therefore cause us concern, because if we do not control it, the consequences could be catastrophic. There are many methods of fighting overweight and obesity, which we describe on this page, but it is also worth to learn about the differences between these diseases, the causes of them and the threat they pose to our body.
Overweight and obesity – how to distinguish between them
Most of us seem to think that the concepts of overweight and obesity are the same and there is no difference between them. However, the specialists clearly state that the differences are diametric and that their correct distinction allows to apply the right treatment, the right slimming treatment. Both ailments are directly related to the structure of the human body, which consists largely of body fat, the correct amount of which in women should not exceed 15-20 per cent of body weight, and in men 12 per cent. All of them, even small deviations from the norm, mean overweight, otherwise known as a transition state, which, if neglected, leads to obesity. In a way it is a pre-existing condition, and this is because we provide the body with too much food, and this energy surplus, which is impossible to burn, the body begins to accumulate in the form of fat rollers in various parts of the body. Obesity is assumed to be obesity when it exceeds 10 percent of the norm calculated from e.g. the BMI index, i.e. the body mass index. This should definitely not be underestimated, because the next stage of the disease is obesity.
Obesity, in turn, is a situation in which already over-programmed body weight has long exceeded the safe 10 per cent mark, and estimates from the World Health Organisation indicate that one in four people in the world will be affected by this serious civilisation disease by 2025. The largest number of illnesses is recorded in highly developed countries, of course, as well as on our continent, and in Poland we are already dealing with a real epidemic of overweight and obesity. Unfortunately, it does not only affect adults and doctors in our country, but it is also an alarm bell that Polish children gain weight the fastest in the whole of Europe. For almost 50 years, specialists have been qualifying obesity for chronic diseases, involving practically uncontrolled accumulation of fat tissue and weight gain, and it is divided into several degrees according to the calculated BMI index:
- BMI from 30 to 34.9 – first degree obesity;
- BMI from 35 to 39.9 degree obesity;
- BMI greater than 40 – huge obesity, which is a threat to life and requires immediate treatment.
In short, we can say that obesity is when the amount of body fat in women exceeds 25 percent and in men 25 percent of the total body weight.
Overweight and obesity – causes

It is difficult to determine only one reason for the increase in body weight, although we do not hide the fact that the most common is simply unrestrained and difficult to satisfy appetite and improper, high-calorie diet, resulting in excessive growth of body fat. While overweight and obesity are fundamentally different, the main cause remains the same for both. Lack of time for independent preparation of a full meal makes us reach for what is at hand, most often for ready-made dishes heated in a microwave oven, or for the most harmful fast foods. We think that if we eat a pizza or hamburger from time to time, it will not have a negative impact on the body, but when it is repeated regularly, the weight immediately goes up. Such meals are also deprived of most of the nutrients necessary for health, which has a negative impact on overall health.
Eating and an unhealthy diet are not the only causes of this state of affairs, just as often overweight and obesity are caused by:
- genetic determinants, and both diseases are often inherited from parents;
- environmental factors, especially lifestyle, irregular nutrition, non-eating breakfast, the most important meal giving energy for the whole day, non-eating fruit and vegetables, eating only processed food;
- lack of physical activity, resulting not only from the sitting nature of work, but most often simply from our laziness;
- psychological factors, especially severe stress or depression, which can sometimes result in excessive eating;
- night food syndrome, which manifests itself in food that is difficult to control during the night hours;
- Compulsive eating syndrome, also under the influence of severe stress or nervousness;
- hormonal disorders, such as increased secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone, have a significant impact on fatigue;
- other coexisting diseases, often cancer;
- alcohol abuse, disturbing digestion and metabolism of the body;
- taking certain medications, especially sedatives, progesterones and estrogens;
- economic factors preventing the purchase of wholesome healthy food;
- quitting smoking, which often involves significant weight gain.
Overweight and obesity – visible external signs of disease

There is no denying that some of the above causes can also be found at home, and correct and, most importantly, early diagnosis makes it much easier to find an effective method of fighting overweight and obesity. Their symptoms are so characteristic that, except in a few cases, they cannot be confused with anything else. The first one is, of course, weight gain and fat rollers that accumulate mainly on the abdomen, and the facial features can also be distorted. Other equally common are the progressive limitations that make it difficult to perform many seemingly mundane everyday activities. In addition to this, there is also dyspnoea and excessive sweating at the smallest physical effort, such as climbing stairs.
Overweight and obesity – health threats that cause
External symptoms are certainly important, but much more important is the devastation that obesity causes inside our bodies. The list of diseases to which we are exposed by getting into this state, caused precisely by the accumulation of too much body fat, is very long, and the most dangerous of these are the following:
- heart and whole circulatory system diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, myocardial failure, leading to many serious complications including heart attack or stroke;
- diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes and elevated blood cholesterol levels;
- cholecystolithiasis and kidney dysfunction;
- cancer;
- osteoarthritis, especially of the lower limbs and spine, usually in the lumbar region, which prevents even normal movement;
- chronic venous insufficiency, manifested by painful and disfiguring varicose veins;
- diseases of the digestive system, not only ordinary digestive or metabolic disorders, but also troublesome constipations, inflammations of the gall bladder, intestines and stomach;
- hormonal imbalances in the body;
- reduced libido, especially in men with erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual desire;
- problems with getting pregnant, getting pregnant and the health of the unborn child;
- a significant reduction in life expectancy, even by a dozen or so years.
Disregarding them is a mistake whose effects are often irreparable, so when we see the first signs of overweight or obesity, it’s time to start counteracting it. There are many methods we can use, starting from diet, through pharmacological measures or dietary supplements supporting slimming, and all of them will be presented in more detail in the following entries.
Natural methods of weight loss combined with simultaneous care for your general health, year after year gaining more and more popularity. Such effective prophylaxis, which is worth immediately applying to the whole family, is the best barrier against infections, giving also a large dose of energy, necessary for each of us. Generally understood healthy lifestyle consists of many important elements, only together they form a single whole, thanks to which we gain a slim figure and beautiful appearance, well-groomed complexion, hair and nails. One of the elements that cannot be ignored, an important part of the diet, are fruits full of vitamins and other valuable nutrients, and one of the particularly recommended is amla, called in our country Indian gooseberries.
The chemical composition that Indian gooseberries can boast of has an automatic effect on their properties and is therefore recommended by healthy nutritionists. It is worth to immediately introduce it to your daily diet, so that after a short time you can feel the fullness of positive effects on various parts of your body. Regular consumption of the recommended daily dose guarantees us, among other things:
Indian gooseberries should be appreciated not only for their impact on health and weight loss. It has been widely used in cosmetics for years, especially in hair and skin care products. It can be considered a wonderful rejuvenating substance, thanks to its high content of antioxidants, with an exceptionally strong effect. The use of cosmetics with amelia on the hair rebuilds and strengthens it from the bulbs to the very ends, thus becoming stronger, more resistant to atmospheric factors, more shiny and devoid of even the slightest trace of dandruff. Preparations containing this plant can also be used for daily skin care, deep cleansing and even rejuvenation as a result of stopping natural aging processes. Even damaged skin with clear traces of acne will be better smoothed and will quickly regain its natural colour.
However, before we reach for this modern means, we should know what are the causes of chronic venous insufficiency and why it can never be ignored in any way. There are many reasons for this dangerous and even life-threatening disease, but the most common is a genetic tendency, interestingly, inherited not only from parents, but often also from grandparents and even great-grandparents. We are also guilty of her own guilt, not caring about the legs, which throughout our lives have to bear huge loads, which is due to the nature of the work, and our weight is often far from ideal, which puts even more strain on them. In addition, there is a lack of physical activity, or a diet that causes blood vessels to clog in the limbs, so the valves stop working properly and the blood, instead of flowing to the heart, starts to go back to the legs. Blood pressure increases, which pushes the veins, what we see in the form of varicose veins. Most often we underestimate their first symptoms, and our anxiety should already be aroused:

The longest possible retention of a high libido is a point of honor for any man who always wants to be able to fully satisfy his partner. Unfortunately, despite all efforts, this is not always possible and sometimes there are unpleasant situations when it is necessary to support the weakened forces properly. You can use various means for this purpose, but make sure that they are based as far as possible on natural ingredients, preferably plant-based, and one that we can recommend is certainly Tribulus terrestris, better known in our country as the ground mace.
Among the numerous, more or less effective ways to combat potency disorders, the most frequently chosen tablets are still those containing strong artificial chemical substances in their composition. Over the last dozen or even several dozen years, we have almost completely underestimated the power of natural methods, especially proven herbal treatments, known at least for centuries. However, it is definitely worth using them, not only in the process of treatment itself, but also as an effective prophylaxis, protecting against the possibility of such problems. Herbs, including Tribulus terrestris, or the equally well-known Maca root, are characterized by virtually the same effect, we also consider them to be aphrodisiacs, but in most cases do not have strong side effects. In many tablets they are an integral part of the treatment and their components, e.g. the most popular sildenafil, may, if overdosed, pose a serious threat to health.
As in many other herbs, also here the composition directly affects health properties, making it worthwhile to introduce preparations containing mace into the daily male diet. The positive effects of this will be felt almost immediately, not only in terms of greater sexual fitness, but also in terms of improving overall health. We will find many such supplements on the market, and the most important effects that we can achieve thanks to them are:

Long-lasting and strong erection is one of the foundations of a successful male sex life. However, it is not always possible to achieve it at the so-called proverbial demand, i.e. to simply stand up to the task. Potential problems can happen at the least expected time, usually at the most important moment, and how much shame every guy knows about it. The solution that we immediately use in such a situation are various types of tablets supporting our unstable masculinity, but often we do not pay attention to their composition, not knowing that the results of the action may be far from what we expected.
Before we reach for any of the “miraculous”, widely advertised drugs for potency, we should be aware that its disturbances may be the result of an illness that develops in the body. Most often we are not able to diagnose this type of disease ourselves, but a visit to a specialist seems to be a cause for shame to some people, although there is absolutely no reason to say so. If, however, we decided to treat ourselves, it is worthwhile to learn the most important information about the commonly available tablets, which differ not only in their composition, but also in the way they affect the male body, differentiated according to the causes of the problem with erection. In the vast majority of cases, especially in men between 20 and 40 years of age, although this is not the rule, the lack of proper erection is caused by:
Mensil is intended for use only by people over 18 years of age, demonstrating high effectiveness only in case of neurological potency problems, which are inherent in our psyche and not those caused by physical defects of the penis. Dosage is simple, just one tablet, which we remind you once again, do not swallow, only should be chewed and chewed thoroughly, preferably about 30 – 60 minutes before intercourse. After this time, Mensil, or more precisely the sildenafil contained in it, starts to act with full force and thanks to that not only can you quickly achieve and maintain an erection for a long time, but also increases the feeling of all the sensations of sex, allowing you to achieve complete satisfaction and satisfaction of both partners.

Slimming is a complex, multi-stage process that requires regularity, high self-denial and even a scientific approach, without which there can be no question of achieving fully satisfactory results. There is no denying that we work alone for overweight, and in many cases for morbid obesity, not eating, but sometimes eating without being consumed, the consequences of which we see in the form of ever-increasing folds of fat. Unrestrained appetite is difficult to control, but when we use the right preparations, it will certainly succeed, and the best are those that help in rapid weight loss. One of them, widely advertised and recommended is Moring Slim Formula, a supplement based on the increasingly popular Moringa leaves, but if it is fully effective, it will prove our test.








Fat deposits in different parts of the body are only one of the signs of overweight, but the most visible and unsightly. Burning it in the shortest possible time should be a priority for any slimming treatment, which is not as simple as it may initially seem. Contrary to popular belief, fat burning is better handled by people with high obesity than those who want to lose weight just a few pounds.

Anyone who has ever had to lose weight before knows how difficult the weight loss process is. Let’s face it, this is hard work, denying ourselves many things we’ve enjoyed eating so far, and often all laboriously achieved results are irretrievably lost as a result of the yoyo effect. According to conservative estimates, more than half of all overweight people return to their former weight. There are also other similarly unpleasant situations when, despite our efforts, weight does not want to move, and the amount of fat in the body, instead of falling, is constantly increasing.
extract from cola nitida, a shiny cola plant from Africa, belonging to the family of mucous membranes. These evergreen tree nuts, containing caffeine, are used to naturally improve digestion by increasing gastric juice secretion and accelerating fatty acid metabolism, resulting in better fat burning. The Cola nitida also has a proven appetite suppressant effect, which also helps to speed up weight loss;
Paraguay holly, from which dried stems and leaves are made the infusion of yerba, steamed in a special mate dish. This is where the popular name yerba mate comes from, which you can drink instead of tea or coffee, valued for its health properties. The Paraguay holly contains vitamins: A, B, C and E, carotene, biotin, pantothenic acid and minerals: iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulphur, silicon and zinc. It lowers LDL cholesterol level, increases HDL, regulates blood sugar level, inhibits not only appetite, but also pancreatic lipase activity, thus reducing the absorption of fats by our body;
According to the manufacturer, Liporedium is supposed to work in two ways: on the one hand, it is supposed to accelerate fat burning and on the other hand, it is supposed to prevent the accumulation of new layers of fat. The body therefore does not accumulate calorie reserves, and the first effects of such treatment can be observed already after about 4 weeks, when the weight begins to drop by as much as 2 kg per week. The recommended dose is only 2 tablets a day, which should not be taken by people under 12 years of age.
Slim, slender and muscular figure really lies within the reach of the dreams of anyone who is able to radically change their lifestyle, following a diet and remembering about the daily portion of physical activity. These seemingly simple rules, but unfortunately, there are situations when, despite strict adherence to them, our body does not want to burn fat tissue at the right pace. One of the most effective substances recommended by specialists is synephrine, i.e. an extract from bitter orange fruits.
Synephrine belongs to the group of alkaloids, stimulants with a similar effect to ephedrine, which also has a slightly similar chemical structure. It is found in nature in bitter orange and grapefruit and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It is classified as a thermogenic substance, i.e. accelerating fat burning, so it is used as an important component of many slimming preparations.
As we have already mentioned, the main source of synephrine are bitter oranges, which, however, as fruit are not very suitable for consumption in their natural form. Moreover, they are relatively rare in our country, so it is better to take this substance through dietary supplements containing it. You can also try jams or other preserves made of citrus fruit peel, because you will also get such in stores with healthy food, not only exceptionally tasty, but also containing some amounts of synephrine.
