imperfections of cellulite…

“Health is the most important thing we have.”

The creator of the Italiano diet, Gianluca Mech — a world-renowned diet expert from Italy and nutritionist who has helped millions of people across the world to lose weight—and to discover natural products to counteract the annoying imperfections of cellulite…


Cellulite, clinically known as Edematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy, is a real pathology. Its onset is closely linked to the production of estrogen, typically female hormones that increase after menarche (first menstruation). Cellulite comes with a slowdown of the lymphatic system and consequent stagnation of fluids: in this situation, the blood vessels of microcirculation are no longer able to ensure adequate functionality.
At the epidermal level, the skin takes the “orange peel” look, accompanied by pain to the touch due to inflammatory phenomena caused by the stagnation of liquids. 
Cellulite has a strictly hormonal origin, and for this reason its onset could get worse when taking hormonal contraceptives and by the physiological hormonal pattern. Other factors that contribute to the development of this pathology are poor circulation, sedentary lifestyle, incorrect postures, tight clothing, standing activities and unbalanced diet.



The added value of our products
To be effective, products against cellulite must therefore carry out various actions, targeted on circulation problems, the drainage of excess fluids, detoxification, reduction of fat deposits as well as on skin tone and firming up. A balanced diet and a proper water intake represent the basic ingredients when taking specific supplements for the fight against cellulite and water retention.


A complete action takes place with an in&out treatment: the cellulite line includes food supplements in liquid form, in tablets and in sachets, in addition to the specific cream for a local action.

Clean COVID-19 Virus & Germs

People with horrible coughs, fevers and trouble breathing aren’t driving the coronavirus pandemic. It’s people with mild symptoms or no symptoms at all who are responsible for the majority of new COVID-19 cases, according to research published earlier this week. 

People who work in essential jobs have an especially high chance of being exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the technical name for the virus that causes COVID-19, and bringing it home. Since it’s so hard to tell who’s carrying the virus before symptoms show, essential workers’ families, partners, and roommates are at an increased risk of being exposed in shared spaces, where it can

CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC 2020

The new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the coronavirus infectious disease COVID-19, as named by the World Health Organization, is disrupting life as usual and is exacting a visible human and economic toll. IDEA members and fitness professionals across the globe can continue promoting health and minimize business disruption with common-sense precautions and attention to public health developments. This advisory contains information on what we currently know about the virus, suggested preventive measures and resource links to stay updated.

What You Should Know

COVID-19 comes from the coronavirus family, which includes the common cold. COVID-19 appears to be an animal coronavirus, unseen before in humans, that first appeared in Wuhan City, China, and is spreading globally through human-to-human transmission. Fitness pros can remind others that the best defense against viruses, in addition to specific preventive measures, is to maintain a healthy overall lifestyle that includes regular physical activity.

The good news—so far—is that sweat cannot transmit the virus, and there’s a lower risk of picking up coronavirus at a gym or health club than at a church service, according to David Thomas, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (The New York Times, March 8, 2020). Furthermore, as of this article’s publication date, experts have not determined precise transmission, infection or mortality rates for this new illness.

Preventive Measures

Since no vaccine exists to protect against COVID-19, public health experts recommend the following personal preventive measures:

  • Wash hands frequently. Wash hands thoroughly and often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or with a 60% alcohol-based rub, to kill any viruses on your hands. Hand dryers alone are not effective at killing COVID-19. For effective hand-washing practices, check out this video.
  • Avoid touching your face. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, as any virus on hands from a touched surface can enter the body through the eyes, nose or mouth, according to current information.
  • Maintain social distance. Keep a distance of at least 3 feet between you and apparently healthy persons and stay 6 feet away if a person is coughing or sneezing (WHO 2020).
  • Limit contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you’re sick with respiratory symptoms like a fever, runny nose and/or cough, stay home. Seek medical advice if your condition worsens with a high fever and/or difficulty breathing.
  • Cough into an elbow or a tissue. Cover coughs with a tissue or cough into an elbow. Dispose of tissues immediately in a covered bin and wash hands with warm, soapy water. Wash clothing into which you cough. It is unknown how long the virus can live on hard and soft surfaces. According to the WHO, coronaviruses may survive on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. The best way to ensure that surfaces you touch are germ-free is to clean them with a disinfectant.

If you’re wondering about wearing a face mask, public health experts advise that it’s not currently recommended for the general public in the United States. For more information about masks, go here.

Based on best public health practices, include the following:

  • Actively encourage sick staff and/or members to stay home. Make announcements and hang posters about staying home when sick and about following cough and sneeze etiquette.
  • Instruct staff and members to clean their hands frequently. Provide hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol at the entrance and throughout the facility. Encourage frequent use.
  • Advise staff and members on hygienic use and disposal of tissues. Provide tissues and no-touch disposal receptacles in easily visible and accessible places.
  • Provide disposable disinfectant cleaning wipes near all commonly used surfaces. Include instructions to wipe down surfaces before and after use with a disinfectant that is at least 70% alcohol. Wiping surfaces clean can reduce germs, but only disinfectant that is at least 70% alcohol kills germs. Products with EPA-approved claims against viral pathogens are listed here.
  • Avoid hands-on contact with clients. Avoid handshakes or other close-contact greetings.
