Health Talk from Different Health Gurus

The 4th HSBC Coffee Talk was held at Makati Shangri-La had invited a mix of different health gurus which shared their experiences in staying fit and healthy, as well as their experiences in shaving a lot of weight and how to do this properly.

According to latest Wellness Philippines news, one of those invited in the event was the co-owner of the all-natural just fast Juju Cleanse where she imparted a quote she loves which goes, “Work Hard, Party Hard, Cleanse, and repeat”.

Health Talk from Different Health Gurus Born out of the idea that good conversation and coffee are inseparable, the HSBC Coffee Talk this year invited an interesting mix of guests.

There’s the advocate of the traditional diet-and-exercise regimen, “Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition” runner-up Art Mendoza and CrossFit devotee Lala Agregado; writer/columnist Jessica Zafra; fad dieter JL Martinez, who has already lost 120 lbs on the HCG diet; “big spender” Rescina Bhagwani, whose big investment in the Cohen diet program (more than P50,000) is already giving her huge returns (lost 65 lbs so far, and counting); and the no-nonsense straight talk from the Juju Cleanse guru Azanza.

The Best way of Losing Weight “If you have a craving, you have to have it,” said Martinez, who endured 40 days on a highly restrictive, 500-calorie-a-day diet of the controversial HCG diet.

According to latest Philippines Lifestyle news, Martinez said the trick is in the portion size. You want chips, you’ll get chips—but not the entire bag, please. The first mouthful, he said, is to tell your brain you’re eating all right; the second is to satisfy the taste buds. Succeeding servings after will merely be stored, useless calories.

Mendoza, who lost 129 lbs during the “Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition” reality show competition, is now a staunch devotee of exercise. While he was able to put in hours of exercise while on the show (up to six hours a day, he confessed), returning to the daily grind of the real world does not allow him that luxury. That’s how the intense CrossFit training came into the picture.

Keeping the Fire Burning “Metabolism is like a fire. If you keep on putting small twigs the fire will keep on burning and even gets larger and larger. But if you throw in large logs, you will put out the fire,” Mendoza said. Keep the fires burning, he continued, by consuming leafy greens and veggies and good sources of protein like fish.
Since we live in a world where giving in to temptation is inevitable, and even essential for you to control your cravings, cleansing has become a regular part of some people’s health regimen.

“You need to find that balance. It’s like tuning up your car. Make it a part of your regimen,” said Azanza.
A Juju Cleanse is a doctor-approved detoxification process. Each drink is packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs to function. Cleansing your digestive system takes only three to five days.
