Vision
An ever increasing number of adults, children and adolescents cope with eating disorders and obesity. In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of people who suffer from obesity in the State of Israel, and the current statistics stand at about two thirds of the adult population and a fifth of the child population. Concomitantly, there is also a sharp rise in the prevalence of eating disorders, both in the high-risk group of young girls and women, as well as among men and male and female children.
We believe that there is a way of breaking the frustrating and endless vicious cycle of the struggle against obesity and its ramifications, namely severe health problems, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. The way to achieve this is to provide an overall solution to all aspects and difficulties related to eating disorders and obesity, through a comprehensive program that combines nutritional consulting, physical activity and emotional support tailored to each specific individual and to each particular problem.
We believe that in order to adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle and to stick to it over time, one must choose a program that takes his/her personal preferences and lifestyle into account, to define short-term and long-term goals and to update them respective of changes that occur in life, and to understand the emotional and behavioral mechanisms leading to eating disorders and obesity and how these may be modified.
We believe that the way people cope with eating disorders and obesity is not only influenced by genetics, but also by environmental factors such as social pressures, emotional distress and effects of low self-esteem. In order to create a real change, it is important for you to find a warm, protective and supportive haven where you can feel safe, be yourselves, and receive professional consulting services and accompaniment as well as personal and strengthening support.
We believe that obesity and eating disorders have an impact on a vast portion of the population and that it is important to act within the community to increase awareness of the importance of these issues, and to educate towards a healthy and active lifestyle, to support the population suffering from obesity and negative social attitudes and to provide parents with tools to support their children in order to prevent the development of obesity problems and eating disorders, right from the get-go.
