subject: Break up Abdominal Fats with Massage! [print this page] Author: Constance Seng Author: Constance Seng
Did you know that cells need oxygen to survive? On the other side of the spectrum, unhealthy cells bode ill for the human body and might even cause cancer. Can you really break up abdominal fat by massage? Yes you can, and you will be most happy to know that there are reassuring, scientifically proven reasons. Massage works by helping blood flow increase. By using massage, your body's systems including cardiovascular, lymphatic and digestive systems are stimulated through the process of massage. Massage creates heats which melt the adipose tissue (a.k.a. fat tissue). Massage stimulates and warms your body and the light motion on the abdominal area can assist in getting the oxygen going. The skin will be fed by oxygen from the cardiovascular system. Toxins will be encouraged out through the lymphatic system. The fascia, which is the sticky-like layer between skin, fat and muscle, will be encouraged to relax. This will enable toxins to be flushed out, and oxygen, which nourishes, to get in. Oxygen is a key factor in fat elimination; the more oxygen you have in your body, the easier it is for you to lose weight. If you're still skeptical about whether or not your abdominal fat can be eliminated by massage, just ponder a minute about how your body feels when you have been given a massage. Massage warms up the muscles - that's the main reason sportsmen get massages before major sports events. This type of warmth causes the fat to soften so that it can be eradicated through exercise. The massage itself may not help you to lose weight; you'll still have to do some work. But with massage, your job is now so much easier when the fat is already fully geared to be worked away through regular exercise and a sensible diet. Yes, not only can massage therapy break up fats itself, it can prevent more fat from forming when accompanied by exercise and a diet plan. It accomplishes this by reducing the levels of cortisol released by the body; this hormone is directly related to weight gain, causing the body to turn any unused calories to fats. Obviously, the less you have of this hormone, the less fat your body will produce. After you have enjoyed 1- 2 hours of massage, remember to drink plenty of water. This will help to flush out of toxins, as well as to hydrate your tissues. Last but not least, drink your water slowly and not to gulp it down with one go.About the Author:
