Understanding the Obesity Crisis
Indeed, obesity is not merely a matter of physical appearance; it’s deeply intertwined with severe health risks such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
Obesity – a state of your body being overweight and Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 25 or when men’s body fat is over 25% and women’s body fat is over 35%.
In Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, the problem has reached alarming proportions. According to the 2019 NHMS, a staggering 50% of Malaysia’s population is reported to be overweight or obese [1] [2] [3].
Importance of Healthy Weight Management
Given these concerning statistics, it’s paramount to emphasize the significance of maintaining a healthy weight. The MyPlate dietary guidelines offer a structured approach to achieving this goal. By prioritizing balanced meals and dedicating just 30 minutes to regular exercise, individuals can significantly improve their health outcomes.

Proportion and choices using MyPlate tool
Some asked; what if I have no time to cook for myself, I always dine out, I have no time to exercise, I like to eat pastries and cakes?
So, for those with time constraints or a preference for dining out, managing dietary choices becomes essential.
In such cases, incorporating diabetes management ingredients can be highly beneficial. These ingredients, when combined with healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle, can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels, managing metabolism, and controlling appetite.
Harvest Group offers expertly crafted diabetic management products with premium patented ingredients. Why patented ingredients are more valuable?
Exploring Active Ingredients
Let’s delve into some of the active ingredients used in diabetic management products:
White Kidney Bean: Firstly, white kidney bean extract contains phaseolin, an inhibitor of the alpha-amylase enzyme responsible for breaking down carbohydrates. By inhibiting carbohydrate digestion, white kidney bean extract may help reduce the absorption of glucose, potentially contributing to improved blood sugar control.

Bitter Melon Peptide: Next, bitter melon contains bioactive compounds such as charantin, polypeptide-p, and vicine, which are believed to contribute to its potential hypoglycemic effects. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)
Cinnamon Extract: Generally, cinnamon is rich in bioactive compounds. It includes cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate, which have been evidently shown to enhance insulin signaling, improve glucose metabolism, and increase the uptake of glucose by cells. Additionally, cinnamon may inhibit certain enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, leading to improved glycemic control. (Source: Journal of Medicinal Food)
Salacia Extract: Research on Salacia extract indicates its undoubtedly potential to reduce postprandial glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Moreover, salacia extract contains various phytochemicals, including salacinol and kotalanol, which may inhibit the activity of alpha-glucosidase enzymes responsible for carbohydrate digestion. By slowing down carbohydrate absorption, Salacia extract can help reduce postprandial glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. (Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology)
