Fluids, fat and heaviness in the legs

With the arrival of summer, and therefore the heat, not only do we experience the so-called "swimsuit test", but we also experience a feeling of heaviness in the legs that could even cause some pain.
This happens because the increased temperature of body fluids predisposes to vasodilation, which increases their stagnation in the spaces between cells. Circulation slows, and due to the force of gravity, fluids accumulate in the legs. Pain results from the edema compressing nerve endings.

The usefulness of massage

The massage It is useful for counteracting water retention through a manual mechanical action.
But be careful, massage doesn't make you lose weight, at least not directly.
If you have fat and water retention, you can first use massage to eliminate the edema and simultaneously lose weight with diet and physical activity.
After a massage you feel a sense of well-being and lightness, precisely because this pressure is manually released.

Massage promotes the elimination of fluids and toxins, stimulates biological processes, and draws greater blood and oxygen to the treated area.
Blood and oxygen are drawn to the more superficial areas and cause visible skin redness.
Biological processes are thus activated, forcing cells to increase their local metabolism. The body thus requires increased energy, stimulated by cellular movement.
The effect of oxygen allows the lipolytic action of fatty acids to be activated, resulting in a reduction in fat.

Massage is therefore an important support to a weight loss program and above all contributes to the health of our body.
Our well-being is a choice!
