Weight Loss Massage |
There are no doubts that having a massage makes you feel great. Even
having a deep-tissue, sports massage makes you feel wonderful
afterwords. Massage
benefits
are fabulous: it can relieve stress, help you to recover from hard
physical activity or injury and even reduce anxiety, but can it help
you to achieve your weight loss goals?
Recent researches show that massage can have a positive effect on your
muscle-building capabilities and fitness levels, which in turn
increases your capacity to control or loose weight.
Firstly, massage therapy has been shown to improve circulation and the
supply of nutrition to the muscles. Massage increases the interchange
of vital substances between the blood and tissue cells, which increases
tissue metabolism. After muscles are exercised, vital nutrients must be
supplied to them so that they can recover and rebuild themselves.
Massage maximizes the supply of these nutrients and oxygen though
increased blood flow, which helps the muscles to grow and burn more
calories as a result. Secondly, as we have already touched upon,
massage helps prevent and heal injuries. By stretching connective
tissue, massage improves circulation to help prevent or break down
adhesions and scar tissue that result from muscle tears and other
common muscle injuries. Massage also influences the excretion of
certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) that aid in tissue
repair. Fast and effective recovery from injuries means that you can
begin exercising sooner after suffering an injury and getting your
weight loss progress back on track.
To a word, there are special acupressure weight loss massage, but I am
not sure, whether it's effective.
A good way to lose weight is to buy a massage oil and to start learning
to do this yourself. It's a pretty good sense of physical
activity.
