There are many theories
as to when and how fat cells develop. Some scientists say it happens during
fetal development. Some say fat cells develop until the age 12 or pre-puberty.
In either case, after they have fully reproduced, what fat cells you have
are the ones you will have for the rest of your life. After that, they
grow in size, but they no longer reproduce. This could explain why some
people gain weight faster than others, or gain more weight, for that matter.
The debate and research will still rage on.
The minerals used in “The Fat Melting Body Wrap”, magnesium,
potassium, and MSM (Methylsulfonymethane), have reputations as detoxifying
agents. Magnesium is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially those
that are involved with energy production. It also assists in calcium and
potassium absorption. Potassium aids in proper muscle contractions, and
works with sodium to control the body’s water balance. Potassium
also regulates the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. MSM is
an organic sulfur compound that has a powerful healing and detoxifying
effect, especially on a cellular level. It is primarily used as a supplement
to relieve inflammation due to injury.
"The Fat Melting Body Wrap" works on the principal that the
major cause of weight gain is attributed to a build-up of toxins in fat
cells and lack of balance between salt and water in the body. The wrap
works by using elastic bandages soaked in a mineral solution. The mineral
solution opens pores and shrinks fat cells. That’s right, shrinks
them! It draws out impurities from the fat cells, in turn reducing their
actual size. The act of firmly wrapping your body helps to draw excess
water from it, as well. The key to getting the most from the wrap is to
do some form of light physical activity during the 1 hour period suggested
by the developers of the wrap. Some testimonial activity suggestions include:
house-cleaning, walking, light-weight training or using a treadmill, elliptical
trainer, or trampoline. Exercising helps circulation and helps to burn
calories. The more active you are, the better the results. Physical activity
will help release more water, as well.
If you are able to sustain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, the
pounds stay off well after doing the body wrap. The wrap developers recommend
avoiding alcohol and caffeine for the first 48 hours after finishing the
process. This makes the fat cells more resilient to toxins and helps sustain
results. The wrap can be performed once a week for 8 weeks. When doing
subsequent wraps, you may not loose as many inches as the first time,
but it will help sustain a long-term effect.
Whether you are trying to manage those few extra pounds or trying to jump
start a positive lifestyle change, the "Fat Melting Body Wrap"
may provide just the boost you’re looking for!
