XENICAL LAUNCHES AN AVENUE FOR A NEW YOU

Alarming facts on obesity
Obesity has been a rising concern for people worldwide over the past few decades. Not only is it a major risk factor for a number of chronic ailments such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke, but it also contributes to at least 300,000 deaths around the world each year. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths everywhere and while once considered a problem only in developed countries, this epidemic has found its way the Philippines. In 2008, 27% or 11.2 million of all Filipino adults were considered overweight and 4.1% or 1.7 million were categorized as obese. These totals resulted to a more than 150% increase versus 1998 figures.

A big help from Xenical
While these statistics may be alarming, there has been an overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to healthy living over the past few years. However, people sometimes need the extra push to reach their health goals. Xenical (generic name: orlistat), the leader in weight loss pills which is marketed by Roche Philippines Inc., provides an effective weight management solution that helps its users achieve real results. Studies have shown that combining Xenical with the right diet can yield an increase in results compared to diet alone. Xenical prevents the body from absorbing up to 30% of the fat consumed in each meal. A recent study shows that Xenical has the highest quality formulation and is purer compared to other orlistats.
This alone can work wonders in terms of helping in weight loss. However, one must also be sure to take Xenical properly in order to fully maximize its potential. Xenical is taken during each meal or up to 1 hour after the meal. If a meal is missed or a meal contains no fat content, Xenical need not be taken. In order for Xenical to be effective, it should be taken every day. Individuals can take Xenical up to 2 to 4 years although noticeable signs of weight loss begin within two weeks and continues on for 6 to 12 months on the Xenical treatment. This will help not only lower weight but to prevent it from being regained.

Xenical creates an avenue for a new you
To go hand in hand with this effective weight loss product, Xenical recently launched Club New You, a program designed to give weight watchers additional help to reach their weight goals!
