Reflexology Tips for Weight Loss/Gain

Whether you want to lose weight or gain weight, a key element in both processes is your metabolism. You’ve probably heard it many times, but do you really know what it is?  Metabolism is the body’s process of converting food into energy (movement and heat). It takes place in your muscles and organs, as the result of what we commonly refer to as “burning calories”.

Metabolism is essentially the speed at which your body’s motor is running. To lose weight, you must try a In home personal training to increase your metabolism, exercise and diet. To gain weight, (which is usually not what most people want to do!), you must slow your metabolism through changes in diet and sometimes medications.

The good news is that Reflexology, the ancient practice of stimulating the feet to reduce stress and improve your overall health and wellbeing, can help you whether you’re trying to lose or gain a few pounds. It does so by regulating your metabolism and helping control your appetite.

Reflexology is an easy-to-use, natural, holistic therapy that can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime.   More than just a fabulous foot massage, it’s been used for centuries to stimulate organs, restore the body’s natural equilibrium and jump start it’s own healing ability.

Here’s a quick and easy guide to using Reflexology to aid you in your weight loss or gain, you can get very helpful tips from www.resultswithlucy.com.  Use the image from Michelle Ebbin’s Reflexology Sox to locate the specific areas on your feet.

For those hoping to lose weight, you should stimulate the thyroid area to boost your metabolism. Also stimulate the pineal gland (located near the reflex area to the brain) to suppress an overactive appetite, the kidneys for proper elimination, and the liver, the colon, and the small intestine for detoxifying.

For those wishing to gain weight try taking a supplement from https://www.probolan50ervaring.com/ also focus on the brain reflex point, the solar plexus (to better regulate all organ functions), the stomach to encourage a healthy appetite, and the thyroid to regulate metabolism so your body slows the rate at which it burns calories.

    Nice article! Reflexology is a way of promoting health by applying systematic pressure to areas in the feet thought to correspond to different parts of the body. Detoxification, on the other hand, refers to the removal of harmful substances or toxins in the body through various means. A good article on this subject is Reflexology and Detoxification for Health.
