☕️ studies het getoon dat koffie voordele inhou vir jou ❤️ - nie net die kaffeiene nie, maar spesifiek die koffie-self!

❌️ onthou, metabolisme verskil, en 'n gesondheidsprobleem soos hoë bloeddruk of nierprobleme, se koffie-inname gaan moet anders wees - one size does not fit all,
👊🏻MAAR hierdie is goeie nuus en daar is oplossings en alternatiewe😅☕️

How many cups of coffee are safe to drink in a day? For some people, up to 5, according to a new scientific statement on caffeine and cardiovascular disease.

Next time you’re wondering if another cup is a good idea, keep these things in mind:

☕There’s no “right” amount of coffee. We all tolerate caffeine differently. Listen to your body about how much you should consume.
☕ Very high amounts of caffeine, such as levels found in energy drinks, may increase risks to the heart. ☕Consuming no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day is not linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
☕ Drinking regular black coffee without added sugar, cream or flavors may lower risks of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, heart failure and some irregular heart rhythms.
☕ Unfiltered coffees including espresso, French press, Turkish coffee and boiled coffee contain cafestol, a compound associated with higher levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Cafestol is not present in paper-filtered or instant coffee.

Dietitians Australia acknowledges today’s announcement to list Wegovy on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for people living with established cardiovascular disease and obesity.

The PBAC has recommended that semaglutide be subsidised through the PBS for people who have already experienced a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack, stroke or have symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

The recommendation determined that PBS funded access to the medicine will be limited to people with a BMI of 35 kg/m² or higher, or 32.5 kg/m² or higher for people of Asian, Aboriginal, or Torres Strait Islander ethnicity.

We welcome the acknowledgement by the PBAC on the need to improve access to non-pharmacological interventions, such as diet and physical activity support.

We know people can benefit significantly from GLP-1 medicines when they are appropriately prescribed and supported by a dietitian.

Wherever a prescription is given, access to evidence-based nutrition care must come with it before, during and after treatment to protect health and support sustainable outcomes.

Dietitians Australia continues to call for fair and equitable access to comprehensive multidisciplinary care for anyone prescribed weight loss medicines.
