By Armon Perez Tolentino
The Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP), a powerful educational lifestyle intervention curriculum from the United States of America, will be launched in the Philippines at Club Filipino, Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila on February 20, 2010, markedly defying threats of the country's top killer diseases simply through moving more and eating better.
The program arrives to benefit Filipinos as it proves that diseases, 70% of which are attributed to lifestyle choices, are largely reversible through simple lifestyle changes.
As bad habits cause people to acquire diseases, the CHIP is determined to change an entire lifetime of unhealthy choices in just 30 days. Here in the Philippines, the program will be presented in two-hour sessions that meet four times a week for four weeks.Heart disease and stroke, cancer, type II diabetes, and high blood pressure, which are responsible for three out of four deaths, will be prevented and reversed along all kinds of diseases as the CHIP targets to lower blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels by reducing excess weight, lower high blood pressure, enhance daily exercise, improve dietary choices, and eliminate smoking. This means avoidance of prescription and medication requirements; dialyses, angioplasties and bypasses; thus, lowered medical bills.
Another important target of the CHIP which may concern many Filipinos is obesity. With the CHIP prescription for health clogged arteries begin to open up, blood pressures come down, diabetes turns around, people eat more and weigh less, high cholesterol level drop more than 20%, and extra pounds come off in just 30 days by making safe, simple, painless and deliberate lifestyle choices.
The features of the CHIP that make it work are education, motivation, and supportive community that lead participants to make smarter choices. In the CHIP program, each participant will receive attractive and easy-to-use materials targeting important health and lifestyle issues. New behaviors are reinforced by the CHIP support team-staff, alumni and current members.
The CHIP program was founded by Dr. Hans Diehl, the director of the Lifestyle Medicine Institute and a clinical professor of preventive medicine in Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California. Along with his esteemed group of medical researchers, Dr. Diehl has been liberating people from a life of obesity and diseases around the world.
Some 50, 000 CHIP graduates from around the globe are living proof that CHIP works.
"I was on seven pills and oxygen and [with] one year to live; then, I found CHIP, " said CHIP graduate Verna Nuland. "I've lost 85 pounds, my doctor gradually took me off all meds and I'm now doing my gardening again, riding my bike, and living the best life ever."
The CHIP as a credible program has been recognized and endorsed by refutable institutions like the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in the United States.
The CHIP Clinical results, based on ‘before' and ‘after' clinical and lifestyle evaluations have been published in close to 20 medical journals which include the American Journal of Cardiology, Journal of American Dietetic Association, Journal of Preventive Medicine, and Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine as medical professionals around the world take notice of it.
Corporations reduce their medical costs to their workers by bringing in CHIP. Progressive companies are able to reduce their medical costs and improve their productivity. The long list includes CIGNA Health Care, Swedish American Health System, ThedaCare, and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
And in Asia, this first CHIP program as the tool that can help Filipinos to get the healthy life they dreamed of, is introduced to the country by Lourdes Barbero-Ramos, as a diabetic for 31 years and as a woman passionate about improving the quality of life, co-founded the LL7 Sola Scriptura Ministry with her friend, Lou Almendras, and Dr. BlecendaVarona, who maintains with her husband David Varona the NeedHealth Ministries, Inc., a non-stock and non-profit association that targets to provide free health and nutrition education programs to churches, communities and schools.
The CHIP, which will happen in the country from February 28 to March 28 this year, is expected to help people ‘kick the old habits of the so-called "good life" and step confidently into the best life' by choice and not by chance.
