Over one in five adults in the UK are now classified as obese, with 40% of adults classified as overweight. And it is estimated that in adults over 45 years of age, two-thirds are now overweight or obese. This has huge ramifications on the health and well-being of the population, and these sorts of statistics are repeated in nations throughout the world.
The best way we can help maintain a healthy weight, or loss weight if we are over-weight, is to eat a low glycemic diet, and to restrict the number of calories that we eat. This can be helped by taking certain nutritional supplements and using healthy alternative sweeteners such as xylitol. |
This high-quality Xylitol is extracted from Birch trees and tastes identical to sugar. It has a very low gylcaemic index, is actually good for your teeth and has none of the dangers of many artificial sweeteners.
