Managing your Weight
Having a healthy weight for your height is very important for your health. If you're overweight, you're at risk of developing health problems that include:
- type 2 diabetes
- high blood pressure and stroke
- coronary heart disease
- some types of cancer
- sleeping problems, such as snoring and sleep apnea
- back pain
The best way to lose excess weight is to increase your activity and to eat smaller portions. It’s recommended that you do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five or more days a week, which can include playing your favorite sport, or dancing to your choice of music.
Groundbreaking Spinal Treatment from Sanitas*
Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital, part of the leading Private Medical insurance in Spain, Sanitas, became the first hospital in Spain to practice the Daytona technique, a revolutionary new system for the treatment of scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a medical condition that causes a person’s spine to bend from side to side. Around three percent of people are estimated to have some degree of the disease. The Daytona system applies a block style method to the vertebrae, allowing
the spinal components to move together as a whole by evenly disturbing the forces and tensions applied to the spine.
