Weight Watchers SA
Your employees who are Vitality members have a special opportunity to get to their recommended weight with the help of Weight Watchers SA. Read more.
Obesity is a widespread issue that has increased dramatically over the past decade, especially in children and teenagers. Carrying extra weight affects our bodies negatively, with an increased risk for health conditions.
Improving diet and lifestyle can lower the risk for heart disease
Exercising and maintaining a healthy body weight helps heart health. Even 15 to 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, every day, can prevent weight gain and lower the chance of other health risks. Protect heart health by:
- Eating an overall healthy diet high in fibre, controlling fat intake (limit saturated and trans fats in favour of unsaturated fats), limiting sugar and sugary foods , and eating a wide selection of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and oily, omega-3-rich fish.
- Exercising and maintaining a healthy body weight.
- Aiming for the recommended blood levels of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
- Lowering salt intake to avoid high blood pressure.
- Avoiding tobacco, and drinking only in moderation.
Your employees can check out and share these nutritional facts on heart health.
