Everyone was talking about Jinkee Pacquiao last year, and mind you, it didn’t have anything to do with Manny. The buzz was about the dramatic transformation that she underwent and how she became sexier and more beautiful by the day.

Armed with a new outlook in life, Jinkee has been very happy with her body ever since she did the Belo SmartLipo. A year has passed and yet, people are still wondering, “What is her secret?” and “How does her knockout body keep getting better and better?”

Jinkee loves BodyTite
There’s more to Jinkee that meets the eye. She loves her body and she knows what’s best for her. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Jinkee knocks us out again with an even sexier figure. BodyTite gave her more contour and accentuated her curves.

BodyTite is a safe and effective minimally-invasive body contouring procedure. It makes use of a Radio Frequency Assisted LipoTightening (RFALT) device used for assisted liposuction and simultaneous skin tightening. As it tightens skin, it will define curves and tone the body.

Now wouldn’t you want a knockout body like Jinkee’s?

Dieting, exercise and surgery are just some of the many ways for people to prevent obesity which has been growing at an alarming rate worldwide. Despite the many options out there, people are hindered either by lack of time, resources, or just simply not wanting to give the extra effort. Experts continue to find ways to search for a fast and easy solution to the epidemic. Our featured blogger Rachelle Holmes of MetropolitanMD talks about a remarkable research on the possibility of shutting down the fat gene or FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) and what it can do to prevent obesity.

Cosmetic practices performed by top surgeons like Dr. Lack of MetropolitanMD, a specialist, may not be the only answer to our world’s weight problem. With buzz around obesity, it’s difficult to miss information congruent to weight loss, dieting, surgery, and exercise; although, gastric bypass and pills are amongst the least favorable options.

Scientists have actually been looking into developing a molecule that will effectively shut down the fat gene that is creating this monster of a problem. In other words, by providing an active inhibitor to the FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated gene), these experts can work toward a therapy for individuals already 1]”>suffering.

According to the “>World Health Organization;, the commonness of obesity is growing at alarming rates – This is based on data collected for both developed and underdeveloped countries. This includes overweight numbers close to 1.6 for adults over the age of 15, along with obese in the range of somewhere near 400 million. With such large figures, it’s difficult to think that obesity isn’t an epidemic of mass proportion.

Obesity creates many health problems; it increases the risk of premature death, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension and cancer. These are among the most severe of cases; obesity also comes with its own short term shortcomings. It’s true that most overweight people have sore bones, muscles, and suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue. It’s also natural that most people who are overweight suffer from depression or depressive symptoms. With this fantastic new developments and studies in China, we can certainly have more hope for this rising problem. Scientists are just beginning to learn how the fat gene actually works, but have tested and seen it’s affects on all different ethnicities.

It’s important that we all work towards avoiding the problem of obesity. The only way to spread this message is through education regarding fitness, exercise, and healthy eating habits. Although with these recent studies, Chinese scientists have made great strides in the search for a solution towards our already unhealthy planet.

BEFORE LIPOSCULPTURE BY BELO

For veteran perfomer Bing Loyzaga, a lot has changed since she entered show business. She’s had her share of teen stardom, hosting gigs and of course, young love. As a versatile actress, she has portrayed a wide range of characters. She can act kind and innocent, yet she can also play a very convincing kontrabida.

Like the ups and downs of her showbiz career, Bing’s body went through a lot of changes, especially after she became a mother. Before she knew it, her thighs weren’t as slim as they used to be, and her arms didn’t allow her to be as flexible with her wardrobe. She knew that she needed to get her old figure back to keep her confident as she plays the most challenging roles as an actress, a mother and as a woman.

Being Bing Loyzaga, she didn’t want just any kind of change. She wanted it to be dramatic, for people to see her in a different light. That’s why Bing went for LipoSculpting by Belo. LipoSculpting of her arms and thighs instantly made her look slimmer, and voila, a whole new Bing Loyzaga.

SmartLipo is a state-of-the-art procedure that makes use of a laser that comes in direct contact with the fat layer, allowing fat cells to burst and melt. As opposed to regular liposuction, SmartLipo allows easier, less painful removal of fat, better skin contraction, less bruising and swelling and a much shorter recovery time. After a few days, you will be seeing results. However, the real changes become more evident six weeks after the procedure, when most of the swelling will be gone.

For that dramatic change and that instantly sexy figure, it’s actually as simple as LipoSculpting with SmartLipo by Belo.
