Xenical launches an avenue for a new you

MANILA, Philippines - Obesity has been a rising concern for people worldwide over the past few decades. Not only is it a major risk factor for a number of chronic ailments such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke, it also contributes to at least 2.8-million adult deaths around the world each year. The results of the 2008 National Nutrition and Health Survey on obesity show increasing trends across all age groups in the Philippines. In adults aged 20 and over, prevalence of obesity is 27 percent.

While these statistics may be alarming, there has been an overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to healthy living over the past few years. However, people sometimes need extra support to reach their health goals. Xenical (generic name: orlistat), the leader in weight loss pills which is marketed by Roche (Philippines) Inc., provides an effective weight management solution that helps its users achieve real results. Studies have shown that combining Xenical with the right diet can yield an important increase in results compared to diet alone. Xenical prevents the body from absorbing up to 30 percent of the fat consumed in each meal. A recent study shows that Xenical has the highest quality formulation and is purer compared to other orlistats.

To go hand in hand with this effective weight loss product, Xenical recently launched Club New You, a program designed to give weight watchers additional help to reach their weight goals. It provides the latest holistic weight loss plan for you through relevant content on www.newyou.com.ph, and health consultants who will check on your progress and motivate you to sustain achieved results. Your loved ones feel the perks of a healthy lifestyle as well. Members of Club New You will enjoy perks such as discounts and special promotions at various gyms, restaurants, and retail establishments around the country. And if you register and activate your membership before July 15, you get a free one-week Xenical pack.

To find the New You, simply fill out a registration form from participating doctors, upcoming Xenical events, leading drugstores, online (www.newyou.com.ph) or through the Xenical hotline at 553-XENI (9364). Complete the registration process by submitting 10 empty Xenical blister packs along with your name, address, contact details (e-mail address, cell phone number), and birth date to Club New You P.O.
