The year is nearing to its
end and I am still 3kgs away from my target weight and instead of reducing the
gap, it might increase due to holiday season. Still, I am glad because I shed
about 2 kilos since I started hitting my goal last June.
Minsan, medyo tinatamad kasi mag-exercise lalo na kapag weekends. LOL
Recently, I am searching
ways or exercises while at the office to help facilitate weight-loss and I
found something about reflexology that can also help achieving my goal just by
stimulating some reflex points in our hands. This will only take 5 minutes
every day and better if you can do this longer during breaks.
I am not saying that you
are guaranteed to lose weight just by massaging the different reflex points. You
still need to exert efforts on exercising and dieting too.
Here are the key reflexes
that can help you achieve your goal. Refer to illustration above regarding the
position of different reflexes. Stimulation of the following reflexes will:
Spleen – helps reducing
hunger.
Stomach and pancreas – support
maximum nutrient absorption even you are taking less food.
Gall bladder – the bile
secreted by the gall bladder aids in emulsifying fats which is essential in
weight-loss.
Endocrine glands –
stimulating the endocrine glands (thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands) facilitate
emotional and physiological balances. The lesser you are stressed, the better you
got focus on your diet.
Relaxation responses – this
helps you get a good night sleep.
How about you, what can you
share about weight-loss?
