As we age, our body loses muscle mass therefore contributes to a slower metabolism, with weight gain to follow. There are many causes of weight gain, with excessive caloric intake being one of the most commonly known. However, this is not always the cause because weight gain may due to medical condition such as hormonal disorder which is usually not identified.

As long as the cause remains unidentified therefore not treated, any attempt to lose weight will render ineffective if not futile. This explains why many weight loss programs which are usually based on caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and exercise do not work, or they decrease in effectiveness over time. Although these programs may help reduce bodyweight initially, they usually lose effectiveness over time, and bodyweight rebounds to higher levels than the levels prior to the start of the program.

This is because the body maintains Homeostasis. Hypothetically, the brain has a “PRESET” bodyweight. Any attempt to deviate the bodyweight from this “PRESET” bodyweight will result in Auto-compensation by the body. For instance, reducing caloric input through fasting will cause the body to decrease its resting metabolism. Sustainable weight lose and weight management program require careful: Study, Interpretation, Planning, Execution, and Control with periodic program adjustments.

The FIT Ace+ PROGRAM is a slimming and weight management program using the latest scientific methodologies to reduce your bodyweight, body fat, and enhancing body contour lines. This program is currently made available to clients at age 18 or above only.

As we age our blood vessels become stiffer and narrower. Stiffer and narrower blood vessels reduce blood flow to vital organs such as the kidneys and brain. When the kidneys or brain detects a drop in blood flow, the body increases blood flow by activating the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS).

The active compound produced by the RAAS is a peptide hormone known as Angiotensin 2 (AG2). AG2 increases systemic blood pressure by constricting the capillaries network in the body, as well as induces anxiety through activating the Sympathetic Nervous System. Chronically high levels of AG2 are associated with vascular remodelling, endothelial dysfunction, cancer, and diabetes.

AG2 also induces the kidneys to produce mineralocorticoid hormone known as Aldosterone (ALD), which causes sodium retention in the body. Sodium retention leads to water retention hence increases blood volume in the body. With constricted capillaries network and increased blood volume, blood pressure can spike to dangerous levels causing irreversible damages to the kidneys, eyes, brain, and the heart, often without symptoms until severe damages have taken place. Heart attack and stroke are the leading causes of death worldwide, and both are associated with high blood pressure.

The BP Ace+ PROGRAM is a natural blood pressure management program using the latest scientific findings and methodologies to normalise your blood pressure, improve blood circulation, support blood vessels health, and helps reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. The BP Ace+ PROGRAM aims to attenuate an overactive RAAS and hyperactive Sympathetic Nervous System through dietary, nutritional, and healthy lifestyle approach – without drugs. This program is currently made available to clients with age at or above 18 only.

Ultrasonography (Sonography)

ULTRASOUND SCAN

Ultrasonography is a test that utilises high-frequency sound waves to capture live images such as organs, blood vessels, and tissues located inside the human body. Unlike other imaging technologies such as radiology, ultrasound does not use radiation. Ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves. They are the identical type of sound waves that doctors use to construct and record images of a baby inside a mother’s womb. Ultrasound is same as “normal“ (audible) sound in its physical properties, except that humans cannot hear it.

Ultrasound is the preferred method of viewing live images such as organs and blood vessels such as Thyroid, Liver, Heart, Kidneys, Carotid Artery, Brachial Artery, Femoral Artery for evaluating organ condition, blood flow, and impending risks of stroke. Other objectives include identifying ballooning (aneurysm) of blood vessels, and detecting blockages (stenosis) inside blood vessels. The presence of carotid plaque alone is associated with cardiovascular risks including stroke and heart attack.

The goal of Ultrasound Scan is to minimise the risks of organ failure, stroke, and heart attack through early detection and intervention.

Carotid Scan

Carotid ultrasound is performed to detect and quantify plaque buildup in one or both of the carotid arteries in the neck and to visualise whether the plaque buildup is narrowing the carotid arteries and obstructing blood flow to the brain. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel on your neck where your carotid arteries are found. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your carotid arteries. The ultrasound technician will then glide the transducer along different areas on your neck.

The transducer will detect the sound waves after they have reflected off your carotid arterial walls and blood cells. A computer will use the sound waves to construct and record images of the inside of your carotid arteries and to display how blood is flowing in your carotid arteries. Carotid ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves.

Aorta Scan

Abdominal aorta ultrasound is performed to detect and identify an abdominal aorta that has became weakened, that it may balloon outward. If the abdominal aorta reaches over 3 centimeters in diameter, it is then called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As the aneurysm gets larger, the risk of rupture increases and can be life threatening. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel on your abdomen where your abdominal aorta is found below it. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your abdominal aorta. The ultrasound technician will then glide the transducer along your abdomen.

The transducer will detect the sound waves after they have reflected off your abdominal aorta and blood cells. A computer will use the sound waves to construct and record images of your abdominal aorta and to display how blood is flowing in your abdominal aorta. Abdominal aorta ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves.

Thyroid Scan

Thyroid ultrasound is performed to detect and identify thyroid disorders. It is to identify presence of a thyroid nodule when physical examination is equivocal. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel below your chin where your thyroid gland is found. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your thyroid gland. The ultrasound technician will then glide the transducer along different areas below your chin.

The transducer will detect the sound waves after they have reflected off your thyroid gland and blood cells. A computer will use the sound waves to construct and record images of your thyroid gland and to display how blood is flowing in your thyroid gland. Thyroid ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves.

Liver Scan

Liver ultrasound is performed to detect and identify fatty liver disease (FLD). FLD is a condition where normal liver tissue is replaced by more than 5-6 percent fat. In FLD, the accumulation of fat can cause inflammation, cell death, and scarring – a condition known as steatohepatitis. Steatohepatitis can lead to liver fibrosis which leads to reduced blood flow throughout the liver and a buildup of scar tissue. Liver fibrosis may lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel on your upper abdomen where your liver is found below it. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your liver. The ultrasound technician will then glide the transducer across your upper abdomen.

The transducer will detect the sound waves after they have reflected off your liver and blood cells. A computer will use the sound waves to construct and record images of your liver and to display how blood is flowing in your liver. Liver ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves.

Brachial Artery Scan

Brachial artery ultrasound is performed to detect endothelial dysfunction by measuring the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery during reactive hyperemia. Endothelial dysfunction has been acknowledged as an early feature of atherosclerosis. A variety of factors associated with atherosclerosis also impair endothelial function. Some of these factors include lipoproteins such as various forms of low-density lipoproteins, postprandial chylomicron remnants, fasting triglyceride-rich particles, and free fatty acids. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel on your arm where your brachial artery is found below it. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your brachial artery. The ultrasound technician will then place the transducer on your arm.

The transducer will detect the sound waves after they have reflected off your brachial artery and blood cells. A computer will use the sound waves to construct and record images of the inside of your brachial artery and to display how blood is flowing in your brachial artery. Brachial artery ultrasound has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves. They are the identical type of sound waves that doctors use to construct and record images of a baby inside a mother’s womb.

Kidney Scan

Renal ultrasound is performed to detect and identify mass, cyst, obstruction in the kidney, kidney stone, and visualise blood flow to the kidneys. Impaired blood flow to the kidneys caused by renal artery stenosis can cause resistant hypertension. The ultrasound technician will place ultrasound gel on your upper abdominal area against the back muscles on both the left and right side of the body where your kidneys are found below them. The ultrasound gel helps the ultrasound waves reach your kidneys. The ultrasound technician will then glide the transducer across the upper abdominal area against the back muscles on both the left and right side of the body, where your kidneys are found below them

Sleeping Disorders & Daytime Sleepiness

INSOMNIA

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, early awakening, or a sensation of insufficient sleep. You may still feel sleepy and unrest when you wake up. Insomnia not only take a toll on your energy level and mood but also your overall health, work performance and life quality. How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night. Insomnia can impair mental focus therefore increases the risks of accidents.

Insomnia usually accompanies with excessive daytime sleepiness. Short term (acute) insomnia usually lasts for days or weeks, usually associated with stress or a traumatic event. Long term (chronic) insomnia may last for a month and beyond, which may be associated with other medical conditions or medications. The U.S. National Institutes of Health estimates that around 30 percent of the U.S. population complains of sleep disruption, with around 10 percent having symptoms of daytime functional impairment.

Treatment includes lifestyle modification (diet, nutrition, exercise, and behaviour), and medications.

Insufficient Sleep Hygiene

Factors that can contribute to sleeping disorders include consumption of neuroexcitatory substances such as but not limited to caffeine commonly found in tea, coffee, glutamic acid (E620), monosodium glutamate (E621), wheat, barley, or other stimulant drugs near bedtime, or even in the morning for people who are hypersensitive to them. Other factors include elevated sympathetic nervous system due to late evening exercise, anticipation of an event, irregular sleep-wake hours, and afternoon napping.

Drug Related Insomnia

Insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness can cause by repetitive use of CNS stimulants such as caffeine, amphetamines, hypnotics such as benzodiazepines, other sedatives, oral contraceptives, antimetabolite chemotherapy, anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, methyldopa, propranolol, alcohol, and thyroid hormone preparations. Most psychoactive drugs can induce abnormal movements during sleep.

Insomnia can develop upon withdrawal of CNS depressants such as sedatives, opioids, barbiturates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or illicit drugs such as marijuana, phencyclidine, cocaine, and heroin. Abrupt withdrawal of sedatives or hypnotics can induce nervousness, tremors, and seizures.
