Bath Anti-Ageing & Weight Loss

If you would like a younger body & Anti-ageing management continue reading!

Healthy eating - varieties of squashAll of us desire a younger-looking, healthier body

The current world we live in expects youth and assumes that we do not age. There is a cheap, easy and a safe way to stay young and that is by exercise. Researchers have stated that by being physically active you could reduce your biological age by anything from 10 to 20 years. Physically active 60 and 70 year olds were found to have the same cardiopulmonary fitness as sedentary 20 year olds. Those active elders were found to be twice as fit as sedentary people of the same age. And what makes this so appealing is how little exercise it takes to realize the benefits. A recreational one hour a day was all it took.

Adding healthy years to your life span

Being biologically younger also means that you may live longer. This is backed up by research which showed that subjects who burnt 2,000 calories a week (this is equivalent to running or walking 3 miles a day) were up to a third lower than sedentary counterparts. Using innovative analysis of computer data led researchers to conclude that a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise starting at the age of 30, may potentially add 15 years to life expectancy. Another study showed that when subjects were asked to stay in bed for 3 weeks their aerobic capacity aged by the equivalent of 20 years. Exercising however needs to be regular with a frequency of at least 3 times a week. Such a commitment will make you feel younger, work harder and enjoy life more. Research has demonstrated that aerobic exercises such as swimming, running, cycling and walking are the most effective anti-ageing weapons. This is because of their demand for more oxygen which fuels the body cells and allows them to perform at their best. It will also allow you to think and move faster.

Nutrition and Wellness Centre - leavesWise nutrition choices enhance the anti-aging effect

The anti-aging effects of exercise may be enhanced by other healthy lifestyle changes such as making wise nutrition choices. As we age we lose lean muscle and to rebuild it we need both exercise and nutrition. For exercise to be effective, you need to re-generate your body cells, repair the damaged ones and feed the healthy ones to keep them healthy. All of this should be done at the cellular level and can be achieved by cellular nutrition.  Furthermore, there are medical indicators for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol that have a tendency to deteriorate as we age. Reversing such a tendency which effectively means turning the clock back will require a nutritional intervention. Medical advice is paramount in these cases and I can work with you on monitoring progress. As we age, our bodies create higher levels of homocysteine. These raised levels can significantly increase vulnerability to cardiovascular disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and certain forms of cancer. Again, to reverse this particular ageing effect we need a diet rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and folic acid. Also, when cells age their telomeres shorten, to reverse this ageing effect a diet rich in Omega-3 is needed. Cooking choices such as types of cooking oil and cooking methods can dramatically improve the nutritional value of your meal. All of these choices and many more are covered in the various topics of the WLC that I run.

To summarize

Physical activity beats aging and will make you feel younger. It will also add years of quality living to your life. So make it part of your life and learn to enjoy it for the good it will do you. With that you need to make healthy nutrition choices to enhance the benefits of physical activity for a younger looking body and spirit.

Actions available to you.

If you are not active yet, my advice to you is to start now and start slow. Do not let the lifestyle change daunt you. Start with a weekly brisk walk then slowly increase the frequency to daily. It is an effective start that will give you anti-aging benefits and put you in a good condition for more rigorous activities such as swimming and running.

Nutrition is my passion and your results are my commitment- Bath


Nutrition and Wellness Centre Bath
Welcome to the  Bath Nutrition and Wellness Centre where I believe you are what you eat and that wellness is a way of life.
Many people don’t understand the miracle of nutrition and its impact on their minds and bodies. Nutritionists believe that when the body heals it heals all its diseases.
I work with people on very simple changes to their lifestyle that create enormous long term positive changes in their lives. An active, healthy lifestyle means doing all you can to keep your body and mind in optimum shape. This involves making wise choices in your daily diet, performing the right amount of physical activity, coping well with stress and controlling your weight. The end results will have you feeling your best, looking your best and living your best life for a long time.
Whether you need help with weight loss, weight gain, digestive difficulties or targeted nutrition for athletic performance, I can help.
My one-to-one consultations, short nutrition courses and Weight Loss Challenges can teach you so much, including how to make lifestyle choices which lead to better health, increased energy and greater happiness.
It’s not rocket science, it’s simply getting information you can use, everyday, for the rest of your life, to keep your body strong and working well.
Take a browse through my website which gives you a taste of what I do and the way I like to work. You can also watch my first YouTube video for the centre. It shows testimonials of happy clients of different age groups (72, 60 and 40 years of age) their experiences with me and the services offered at my centre.
If you think I can help you or someone you know, please feel free to let me know by calling me on 01225 571 361. Don’t wait, contact me today, and begin your journey to a healthier future.

Bath Nutrition

‘All disease begins in the gut’
Hippocrates (460 BC-370 BC)

Whatever your health goals are, good nutrition is key. Hippocrates knew it centuries ago and we know it today – you are what you eat. We’d not expect our cars to run on substandard fuel yet we regularly expect our bodies to … and then we’re surprised when they ‘break down’.
It’s not easy when we’re surrounded by fast food and snacks (with their double whammy of being high in calories and low in nutritional value) but it’s simply a matter of making the right choices.
At the Nutrition & Wellness Centre we can teach you how to make those choices with our one-to-one Nutrition Consultations. Initial consultations last 1hour 45mins and include a full wellness evaluation with all measurements – height, weight, fat%, muscle%, water%, metabolic age, resting metabolic rate and BMI taken. A personal nutritional programme will be created, information on foods provided and personal goals set within an agreed time-scale.
Once you understand the effect of certain foods on your body you’ll be able to make dietary choices which will have a positive impact on your particular health issues – we call this Targeted Nutrition.
Whether you’re an athlete wishing to optimise performance, come from a family with a history of heart disease and want to protect yourself or are desperate to tackle the problems of IBS, Targeted Nutrition can help. Ultimately, many medical conditions can be treated or effectively managed with correct food and diet as well as nutritional supplements with far fewer complications and side effects than conventional medicine. In fact, it can support and improve:

  •  Heart Health
  • Immune Health
  • Digestive Health
  • Women’s Health
  • Sport, Energy & Fitness
  • Weight Management

Bath Happy Healthy Cookery Classes

Happy Healthy Cookery Classes

March 2014 sees the launch of my brand new Nutrition and Wellness Centre Cookery School in Bath, offering fun, friendly, healthy cookery classes.
Since opening my centre two years ago, I’ve helped a huge number of clients lose weight and learn the benefits of good nutrition. However, my motivation for starting the Cookery School is that time and again clients tell me they want to eat well but simply don’t know what to cook. When faced with a list of the individual healthy foods they should be eating they cannot combine them to make a nutritious, and more importantly, tasty meal. They get discouraged, they get bored … they give up!
In my Happy Healthy Cookery Classes, I’ll show you that eating well is easy and can be just as tasty and exciting as eating badly. Classes will comprise a maximum of 10 students, will last 4 hours and will include the demonstration and preparation of a three course healthy meal. We will then sit down together and share the meal. My kitchen is bright and cheerful and you will be assured of a very warm welcome.
The classes will not only cover the cookery demonstration but will also include information about the tools needed to stock a ‘healthy kitchen’. In my home country of Saudi the food is all about exciting taste, so we will learn about simple ingredients which add delicious flavour to any dish. We will cover store cupboard and freezer ingredients – items to always have in stock so you can quickly prepare a simple nutritious meal.
Students will leave the class armed with full tummies, recipe sheets and healthy cooking know how they can use every day for the rest of their lives to keep their weight down and their bodies strong and working well.
And once you’ve learned how to cook I’ll help you put it into practice too. Every student will be individually invited to join me for a cup of tea at my centre where we can discuss your health, your lifestyle and how improving your nutrition could benefit you.

How to book

Classes cost £35 per person. For full details and dates of the next class contact Heba on:

DNA Testing For Tailored Weight Loss in Bath

Genetic Nutrition Testing
DNA Testing For Tailored Weight Loss

Many of my clients tell me they’ve tried every diet going and they simply don’t work. They lose
some weight, they put some back on, they lose a little more, they plateau… sometimes they can’t lose an ounce no matter what they do.
Well, as a lover of science, I’ve been looking into this and the answer to the problem could be in our genes.
New research shows there is a strong correlation between DNA and the way the human body responds to nutrition and physical exercise. In other words your body could be genuinely resistant to losing weight in certain ways.
Respected scientists, nutritionists and exercise experts have developed a completely new and science-based weight loss programme, which includes a DNA Test and literally asks your body how it would like to lose weight.
The programme examines a sample of your DNA and can tell by the results what foods you should eat and what exercise will be most beneficial to you for weight loss, fitness training or athletic performance.
This information is then combined with details of your lifestyle, to create a completely personalised Diet and Exercise Plan which will help you achieve your weight loss goals AND keep the weight off for good.
I’ve been so impressed by the science behind the Genetic Nutrition Testing programme I’ve decided to offer it at my Nutrition and Wellness Centre in Bath. I’m also on the programme myself … updates to follow!
Now in the world of Genetic Nutrition DNA Testing not all labs are equal. The laboratory I use is of the highest possible quality and ensures your sample remains anonymous at all times and is destroyed after the information is extracted.
Once the results are in we book an appointment at the centre and I will talk you through the findings and discuss the personal Diet and Exercise Plan recommended for you.
If you’d like a chat with me about the Genetic Nutrition Testing Programme and how it could help you finally achieve your optimal body weight, then I’d love to hear from you.
