| The
BIB method: New hopes to battle the bulge
For many of us, it's a constant battle every day to
fight fat and stay away from being obese. One in ten
Americans fight it daily and now nearly half of the
population in Philippines is trying to wrestle it out.
The Philippine Lipid Society is alarmed over the data
that 23 percent of adults are over weight and 20.1,
obese.
The more overweight an individual is the more likely
he will have health
problems. Premature death or disabilities like diabetes,
sleep disorders, breathing problems, types of cancer,
elevated cholesterol, and strain on the back, leg and
feet are common problems that affect obese people.
Genetic influences play a major role in Obesity. If
you belong to a family of obese people, naturally your
body will show the tendency to put on weight. There
are other factors like unrestricted food intake, unhealthy
lifestyle and no exercise, which can introduce you to
obesity. For all those people who have tried various
diet programs, pills, exercises and creams but without
any success, a new method has come into the market,
which is non- surgical and effective.
The BIB method: All about a balloon in the stomach
The BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon system is a non-surgical
non-pharmaceutical procedure, which treats obesity and
has a better method of losing weight. The balloon is
deflated while inserted. When it reaches inside the
stomach, a filling tube fills sterile saline solution
in it. The balloon will float freely in the stomach.
The procedure takes half an hour and the patient doesn't
feel the presence of the balloon. It makes you feel
full and you eat less. The balloon remains in place
for good six months. You can replace it after that.
This treatment is most effective in obese people.
The BIB method is safe. And its success rate is high.
For those of you who simply can't follow any particular
diet
programs, this method is well suited for weight
loss.
