Release Endorphins for Weight Loss!

Stress can cause weight gain as it causes an acidic environment within your body. So we need to find easy and fun ways to help us lose weight.

I’m looking after my niece for a few days and she asked me what I was righting about. When I had told her, she asked me how do dolphins make you lose weight. She’s only five!

It got me thinking about how many questions I had to answer over the last few days, compared to normal. If we, as adults acted a bit more like children and kept asking question until we had our answers, wouldn’t we be closer to what we want?

Ok that was of topic, but something to think about. RIGHT, back to dolphins, I mean endorphins!

Endorphins are produced in the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus gland and release an opioid like secretion that masks pain with a natural analgesic and tells the body that all is fine with the world.

Endorphins are natural hormones that your brain releases when it senses happiness. These endorphins give you a sense of happiness, satisfaction and well-being; they tell you all is well with your body.

It’s that relaxed sense after a good meal, a good workout, a good laugh or great sex.

Acupuncture has been found to have the ability to release these compounds and relieve pain, at least for the short term, and to leave you with a wonderful sense of wellbeing.

Exercise, extreme happiness, good food and orgasm releases natural endorphins, and endorphins make you feel happy and satisfied with life.

The more often you can stimulate your brain to release these natural hormones, the better you will feel, and the easier it will be to put yourself into this happy state of being.

Endorphins cannot be bought; only through your own effort can you bring them into being.

There is no downside to putting yourself into the position of happiness, either through laughter, sex, food or exercise.

Happy creates happy; it’s a cycle that you should never break and you should take every chance to spur these hormones on. Let them do what they do naturally; light their fire and reap the benefits!

Now as you can see there are many ways to release endorphins but I’m only officially qualified to talk about exercise !!!

Find the happiness in your life and lose the weight along the way.

Relax for Beauty & Weight Loss

Ok, this is not directly about weight loss but it is about you and what’s more important than that? Nothing!

When were relaxed we help to restore a balance called the PH balance or the acid alkaline balance so keep that in mind when you read this post.

Natural Beauty Secrets 

Women everywhere around the world are literally dying to know natural beauty secrets.  As women go under the knife for one plastic surgery after another, they risk their lives and their bodies in an attempt to appear naturally beautiful. 

Little thought is given to how a botched surgery can affect them or their loved ones down the road.  All they can think of is this unrealistic image of what’s considered beautiful that they have in the heads thanks to the media and advertising.

The truth is, natural beauty secrets are not really all that secret.  Everywhere a woman looks, she can find all natural ways to become someone that is truly beautiful instead of trying to imitate a digitally airbrushed and otherwise changed photograph from an ad in a magazine.  A couple of the biggest secrets entail nothing more than loving yourself for precisely who you are, perceived imperfections and all.

There are so many benefits of natural beauty secrets.  If you make the decision to love yourself for exactly who you are and make an effort to do so daily, your self-confidence will soar.  If you are happy with who you are, you will be a happier person. 

If you’re a happier person, your interactions with others will be more pleasant.  If you treat others more kindly, they will also be happier.  The world could literally be a better place if women decided to love themselves; instead of aspiring to be something no normal woman could ever be.

Everyone wants a better quality of life.  For some women, they feel that if they just looked like that model or such-and-such celebrity, they would have everything they could possibly want and more. 

They feel that sort of beauty will open doors for them.  In reality, while beauty might open a few doors, those doors will quickly be shut if you’re ugly on the inside.  A woman who is dedicated to getting what she wants and feels she deserves will go much farther in this world than one who relies on her good looks alone. 

Another benefit of natural beauty secrets is of being happy with who you are, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, you only have yourself.  If you don’t like yourself as a person, you can’t expect anyone else to like you, either.  While some may immediately be drawn to you because of your perceived beauty, they will quickly leave once they realize how poisonous your personality is.  You’ll wind up alone, with only a mirror for company.

Stop letting others dictate what you should wear, how you should look, or how you should act!  Don’t let people who don’t even know you tell you what to do with your life and body!  The media and advertising executives don’t know who you are.  They don’t even know you exist.  Make the choice to do what’s best for you.  That is the real natural beauty secret.

You are WORTH IT

Weight Loss & Acupuncture

There are a lot of people who are overweight. For those who are obese, acupuncture can be used with dietary change and exercise to help reduce the excess weight.

Acupuncture is a form of holistic healthcare that uses needles to help treat a patient.  Unlike the cartoon where the balloon will pop and all the air will go out, the needles that are inserted into the vital points will stimulate the body to release endorphins thus helping the person control their appetite.

But before needles are inserted, the specialist will first ask the patient some questions and perform an examination. This is needed to understand the main cause for the person to be overweight.

Part of examination is to help the acupuncturist figure out where the needles will be inserted. Your pulse will give the person an idea on your general state of energy and the general health of your stomach.

You will also have to open your mouth and show your tongue to check for cracks, peelings or puffiness on the stomach area as this provides clues to why you are overweight.

Once he or she knows the reason, this is the time that the needles are inserted into different parts of the body. One way is called the multi-targeted approach which is designed to lower the body’s weight by increasing the output of the pituitary gland.

The areas where the needles will be inserted will be in the ear and in two of three body points.  These areas could also include the mouth, the stomach, the lung, the endocrine, the spleen, kidney or thyroid.

During the initial treatment, the “Four Gate” points would be used to circulate energy throughout the entire body. It is also possible that electro simulation will also be done to increase endorphin release and stimulate metabolism.

These needles will be kept in place for 30 to 45 minutes depending on how much support is needed. These are then removed and replaced with ear tacs with adhesives to make sure they are in the same spot as the needles.

These ear tacs work by applying mild pressure whenever he or she feels hungry. It causes a mild endorphin release and helps the patient relax making it possible to use their willpower and resist the temptation to eat.

The patient will also have to reduce cravings on certain food by cutting down the intake. Some studies suggest that this can also lower insulin levels or lipid levels in the blood.

The best part about acupuncture is that there are no harmful side effects and no chance for an addiction to occur. The patient will have to come back for regular treatment and have to pay attention to one’s diet and exercise regularly as needles can only do so much to control one’s weight.

The number of treatments for someone who is overweight varies depending on how many pounds they want to lose, the speed at which they want to lose it and their commitment to sticking to the plan. 

As the apache said there are many roads to the same place! As long as you’re on the road and moving that’s all that matters. Watch our FREE WEIGHT LOSS Video for WOMEN for more roads to the same place, a slim, toned and sexy you.
