Massage Therapy: Relaxing Way to Effective Weight Loss



Who would not want to don revealing swimsuits at the beach? Most people love attention! However, if you have a problem with the bulge, you would think twice, right? This is primarily the reason why many weight loss pills and crash diets are peddled on the internet like candies; there is just high demand.

However, health professionals don't share this excitement. They want to caution people with underlying health problems to seek medical advice first before they commit to any weight loss program as the risk may be higher than they thought. If you want a safe, all-natural weight loss program that does not put your life on the line, get a massage!
That's not typo error. Massage therapy is the new buzz word for weight loss.

Yes, it is. However, massage therapy cannot work independently of exercise and a balanced diet. Unlike other weight loss programs that will suppress your appetite, massage therapy does not require you to skip meals, or wolf down diet pills to stay in shape.How Does it Work?

Massage Therapy offers good relaxation, which calms the mind and has therapeutic effect on the body. On top of this, a good massage delivers five benefits that are directly related to weight loss:
1. Gets rid of water weight. An adult human body is composed of water, averaging between 55 and 60%, depending on gender and age. Excess water compounds the body's water weight. To gain back your ideal weight, excess water should be eliminated from your body. Exercise does this; regular massage aids in the proper elimination of excess water from your system.

2. Kicks off metabolism. Massage Therapy increases blood flow throughout the body. This hastens the body's metabolic rate, which in turn accelerates the speed at which the body burns calories.

3. Dissolves body's fat. As muscles and tissues receive regular massage, fat deposits disintegrate and get easily absorbed by the body for proper elimination.

4. Improves the bulk of muscle vs. fat. Regular massage penetrates the muscle and improves its tone. Toned muscles churn up calories faster, and eliminate fat build-up in the body.

5. Eliminates toxins from the body. Weight loss is hastened by getting rid of toxic buildup caused by the precursors of obesity: excessive consumption of junk food and a lethargic lifestyle. Regular exercise, balanced diet and regular massage tone the body inside and out; fat build-up is minimized, if not at all eliminated.

Massage Therapy combines relaxation and weight loss in a manner that you will not even notice. There are no hunger pangs, no side effects to worry about - just potent combination of good health and good looks.
