Here’s a thought from the UK Obesity statistics: About 46 per cent of men in England and 32 percent of women are overweight – meaning the have a body mass index of 25-30 kg/m2. An additional 17 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women are obese - a body mass index of more than 30 kg/m2. Recently the obesity problem in the UK has been called: The disease of our time. This comes as the latest government figures show no drop in the number of children who are obese, despite an array of strategies to tackle the problem.

Numerous studies have revealed a link between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It was previously thought that it was the caffeine in coffee which was responsible for this effect. However, a recent US study of 28,000 women found that drinking more than six cups of decaffeinated coffee a day was associated with a 33 per cent lower risk of diabetes compared with no coffee. Further research pointed to substances called chlorogenic acids (polyphenols with antioxidant activity) in coffee as being responsible for its beneficial action on glucose metabolism. However, some studies showed that it was necessary to consume copious amounts of coffee for it to have this effect. Consequently this led researchers to develop a coffee bean extract rich in chlorogenic acids which has now been adapted into a natural food supplement.

Worse still, 12 million people in England alone are predicted to be obese by 2010. While diet and lifestyle changes are the obvious first ports of call in any weight management programme, sometimes a little extra help may be necessary. This is where a new plant-based product called Slimaluma which contains a cactus-like herb called Caralluma fimbriata from the Asclepiadaceae family comes in. It has been clinically proven to stave off hunger and benefit those trying to shed a few pounds.
