WELCOME TO THE NUTRITION RESEARCH CENTRE

The Nutrition Research Centre was created in 2008 is to provide additional support to our clients, undertaking initial Health Screening and Health check up.

We use up to date equipments such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to identify the muscle mass and fat distribution in your body and evidence-based weight management approach to develop a plan tailored to your personal needs.

Changes in dietary behaviour and attitudes to food are a long term process.  To aid our understanding of individual patient’s diet/attitudes to food, we use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which is a psychological approach based on scientific principles. Research has shown that CBT is effective in managing nutrition related diseases, eating problems and conditions such as depression, fatigue and stress.

On you first consultation we will:

. Identify your Health status based on health check-up results  and  biochemical tests.  
. Discuss your current diet with you, analyse its nutrient contents and also the adequacy of your diet, according to your gender, occupation and lifestyle.
. Take your anthropometric measurements, by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This will give us the distribution of muscle mass and body fat, allowing us to make a comprehensive assessment of your health status.

The Nutrition Research Centre can also offer you a Health and Weight Management Programme tailored to your individual circumstances and needs. Our physical fitness team is managed by a qualified fitness instructor with experience in exercise prescription, who will design your fitness plan and provide on-going coaching to help you to get the exercise routine and the muscle strength needed for improving your condition and the general state of your health.

Lymphatic drainage is also offered. This is a therapeutic massage treatment that uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase lymphatic flow and get rid of toxins in your body. This can boost weight loss when applied in conjunction with the correct diet, and is considered an effective treatment for cellulite.
