Healthpointe Success Story: Former Diabetes Patient – Thomas Kong
My name is Thomas Kong. I have been a diabetic patient for the past 10 years.
All these while, whenever someone tells me that there is a medication or health supplements that would help with my diabetic conditions, I would just pay at any price and consume without any questions asked. However, none of them actually works. A lot of money was spent and a lot of frustration too!
People often comment on my tired and haggard look, they even made jokes out of it without realizing my condition. My eyes were bloodshot and I looked stoned most of the time just like i have just been to the pubs for a few drinks.
As my condition deteriorates, my medication dosage increased. I continued to binge on unhealthy food such as red meat, carbonated drinks, ice-cream, etc, etc as I could not control myself. I started to get blurred vision, numbness in my toes and my wounds were unable to heal properly! All that resulted to a total lost of confidence in myself.
When Michael introduced me to the Health Pointe program, I immediately took it up. Before I even began the program, I could see my blood glucose level dropped from 14 to 5 just by going through the preparation phase.
After I completed the program, my blood glucose actually dropped to 3 from 12.9! My cholesterol level had dropped from 8 to 4, body fat from 24% to 21% and body weight from 80kg to 70kg. My vision improved, I felt lighter, more energetic and regained my self confidence. Even my sinus problem improved. Dr. Zuraimi, my physician, who did my blood test and monitored my progress throughout the program was so happy that she actually cried !
My greatest gratitude to all those who have helped and supported me, especially Michael, Robin, Kit and Haji Aman.
For those reading this message, please do not take your health for granted. Speak to your advisor as soon as possible.
Health is wealth !
Thomas.

Teaching Your Children About Healthy Eating
A healthy diet is essential for everyone – especially our children. As your child grows older and begins gaining more independence, it will become harder and harder for you to teach them about healthy eating. This is why it is so important to begin teaching your child healthy eating habits at a young age. By teaching your children about healthy eating, you can guide them on a healthy pathway to adulthood. Here are some tips to help you teach your children about healthy eating.

Also, try to eat meals as a family as often as possible. Remember – you are your child’s primary role model so it is important that you lead the way in healthy eating habits. If you are eating junky foods, they will want to eat junky foods too. So, be sure to set the example for your child at the dinner table, making healthy food choices for each your child, you, and the rest of your family.
Another great idea to help your child learn about healthy eating habits is to involve them in food shopping and the preparation of meals. This will give your child the opportunity to explore the world of food and learn which foods are healthy and which ones should stay on the shelf! It will also give your child a feeling of accomplishment, making them more willing to try new foods.

Finally, when teaching your children about eating healthy, remember that your child is still a child! While you want to encourage healthy eating and snacking, you do not need to deprive them completely of all the little goodies like chips and cookies. An occasional calorie filled snack will not harm your child, so allow them to be children and indulge every now and again.

Number of obese growing bigger, says Liow
By AUDREY EDWARDS
PETALING JAYA: About 50% of 13 million Malaysian adults could be overweight or obese, a worrying trend that seems to be on the rise.
Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said while the National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2006 revealed that 43.1% of Malaysian adults were overweight or obese, which was double the figure from a decade ago, the numbers could have already increased since then.

Liow blamed the disturbing situation on the lack of proper health knowledge, adding that Malaysians needed to be better informed and motivated to stay healthy, in terms of diet, physical activity, stress management and disease prevention.
He said Malaysians had also grown accustomed to an affluent lifestyle, and were more comfortable sitting at home and watching television or being in front of the computer, instead of enjoying the outdoors.
“For example, how many people know that losing even a modest five to 10% of their weight can result in better health?” he said in his speech yesterday when launching Nutrition Month Malaysia 2008.
Saying he himself was overweight, Liow said Malaysians took “eating right” lightly as they did not know what to eat, when to do so and how much they should consume.
“There is plenty to eat but unfortunately, many of us are not making wise decisions on what and how much to eat. Instead, we act on impulse,” he added.
“With our busy lifestyles, we would rather eat out than at home, opt for fast food rather than cook at home.
“And too often, we spare little thought about health and the nutritional value of what we put into our tummies.”
Malaysian Association for the Study of Obesity president Prof Dr Mohd Ismail Noor later said that about 90% of overweight and obese adults in the country were “very likely” to develop diabetes.
“What is worrying are younger people who have diabetes and are also overweight.
“You do not have to wait until you are 40 to have this disease. They are now as young as 25,” he said.
He also said if one of a person’s parents was overweight or obese, the chances of his being in a similar situation was 40%.
The chances increased to 80% if both parents were either overweight or obese, he added.
Genetic predisposition, he said, contributed to between 10% and 15% of those who faced the weight problems.

Welcome to Healthpointecoach
Welcome to Healthpointecoach.wordpress.com! My name is Shirlyn Lim, the webmaster of this site. I am a mother of two adorable girls Faith & Adira and would like to just share on how i got into wellness & weight management coaching with Healthpointe 2.0 program, a proven 45 Days lifestyle program that is backed by 30 years of scientific research.
After the birth of Adira, my weight was almost back to normal with the exception of not being able to get rid of the stubborn belly fat (2 kgs worth of it)! How irritating!!! It was about that time, we got to know about this program from our dear friend and Coach -Terry Low. After 45 days of the program, i managed to lose those unwanted fat and the rest they says is history.
I hope you will find some useful materials and info from this site and we would love to hear from you.
