How Stress Causes Weight Gain & How to Get Rid of It?

Have you found that despite all your efforts to improve your health and fitness, your goals are still not being successfully met? The close link between stress and weight gain could be the underlying reason for this. With today’s demanding lifestyle, we tend to get stressed out so frequently that our body starts functioning in a heightened state of stress. Excess stress can disrupt nearly every system in our body. Depression, insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, chronic headaches and obesity are all connected with untreated stress. For many, stress has a diabolical effect on their metabolism. It can either lead to extreme weight loss or serious weight gain, depending on the situation.

Cortisol is a hormone that our body releases when we feel psychological or physical stress. The hormone causes increased blood pressure and blood sugar and suppresses the immune system. A high level of cortisol has also been shown to increase appetite and trigger cravings for junk food. Our body is designed to store energy during stress, as a protective measure. This energy is stored mainly in the form of visceral fat around the abdomen. So, when stress peaks, our body thinks we need to replenish those calories, even when we don’t. In addition to weight loss struggles, cortisol also slows down the metabolism. As a result, getting a grip on stress is a priority to outsmart serious weight-related issues.

How does LPG massage help in weight loss?

Our lymphatic system is made up of different glands and lymph nodes. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to get rid of toxins from the body tissues, which are then flushed out by the kidneys. These toxins also accumulate fat or cellulite in the body over time. While the body is capable of naturally flushing out toxins, sometimes, the lymphatic system needs a boost to function at its optimal state.

LPG, also known as LipoMassage or Endermologie, is a natural, non-invasive boost for the lymphatic system. It is the next generation of Endermologie and a top choice of treatment for women in Dubai. In essence, lymphatic massage helps to stimulate fat cells in the body, targeting the most problematic areas like fats around the belly, thighs, and arms. It also helps in unclogging the system and disposing of body wastes, all of which majorly contribute to the weight our body carries.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses rhythmic circular movements and well-calculated pressure to enhance the lymphatic flow in the body. It directs the movement of the lymph towards the heart, allowing fluids and wastes to easily drain out. Clearing out toxins from the system helps to decrease its impairment. Overall, a healthy lymph system promotes a higher metabolic rate. LPG massage is especially recommended for women who suffer from fatigue and stress.
