Pharmaceutical Care in Obesity. Medicinal Plants in Obesity Treatment
Abstract
Obesity is defined as a multifactorial chronic disease, characterised for the increase of fat mass and corporal weight, as consequence of a positive energetic balance. It is related to hypercaloric diets, with high content in saturated fats and simple carbon hydrates, innadecuated life-styles like sedentarism. It is a cardiovascular risk factor and it has a high prevalence. The goals of this study are: analyse the derivated risk factors from obesity, a review of the physiotherapeutic possibilities for obesity and analyse the results from the intervention made in a community pharmacy. From this study we concluded that women are more interested in loose weight than men. By the intervention made in the community pharmacy, more than 63% of the cases lost weight in a moderated way, and between 5 and 10% in a sustained way.
By changing diets, doing moderate exercise, and with medicinal plants the weight loss can be 800-900g and even 1 kg per week- Referencias
