Obesity may be an underlying reason for a large number of risks to a person's health. Among others, obesity is related to diseases of the heart and blood vessels, metabolic diseases (among which diabetes predominates), malignant diseases, diseases of the bone and joint system, etc. All these diseases are known also as chronic non-communicable diseases that are characterized by very high mortality (about 70% of all deaths per year in the world are caused by these diseases)!!!

Obesity is a disease that can be prevented by proper nutrition, which should be started from the earliest period of a child's development.

At the OPTIMA FORMULA center, we are successfully implementing a nutrition program for entire families, respecting all the diversity, cultural, religious and all other life values and beliefs of patients, as well as the degree of engaging in sports activities (professionally or recreationally), etc.

Start with a healthy diet for your family before obesity or obesity-related illnesses occur!
