The main topic for me is blood pressure
HealthPointe helps us live healthily
I started HealthPointe a few months ago and have been implementing it as a lifestyle ever since. It works very well for me. I have been able to maintain my weight and have never gained even a single gram back. The main issue for me is blood pressure, which has dropped to a normal level with HealthPointe, and which I also have to check every day. My blood pressure remains super stable. My attitude towards exercise has also completely changed. Now I have to go out running every day. If I can’t do it, I immediately feel restless all over my body.
My shopping behaviour has also changed dramatically; I now ignore the sweets aisle and walk past it. My family now eats much more vegetables and fish, less meat, and all white flour products have completely disappeared from our diet.
I also notice a big change in my boys. They are 15, 17, and 19 years old, do a lot of sports, and live in an environment where people eat very differently. I notice this, for example, with their packed lunches. I include fresh vegetables like peppers and fruit like apples. They also get whole-grain rolls with cheese or sausage. It often happens that other children come over and want some, especially those whose parents only give them sweets.
Setting an example for an alternative diet is very important to me; for instance, at the elementary school where I supervise children, I notice that sweets are often packed, and vegetables are very rarely included. This shocks me, because what you model for children has a very significant influence. HealthPointe supports us in implementing an alternative lifestyle together with our children.
