Understanding the InfraRed Body
Wrap System
The first thing we need to establish is the understanding of what
a body wrap is and what it is supposed to do.
When we accumulate body fat tissue, most commonly in men, it is from
the waist upward. In women, it is from
the waist down. When we accumulate body fat anywhere in the body,
blood circulation becomes worse. As we
accumulate more and more body fat, our circulation decreases even
more. Because of a lack of blood
circulation, we cannot metabolize or burn body fat. In addition,
very little heat is being circulated to that part of
your body. This result is what we call “cold spots.” When we take
away the heat from that area of your body
and it cools, the fat then turns from subcutaneous fat into
cellulite.
Subcutaneous fat is very soft and easy to lose. Cellulite is
almost like hard muscle that is hardened from
the lack of blood circulation.
The purpose of the body wrap is to apply heat to the body in
order to get underneath the fat tissue and thin the
blood to allow it to get into the areas where fat tissue exists.
Bringing the blood back into the areas that have
had restricted blood flow causes the metabolism rates to rise. The
heat softens the fat tissue and it begins to
break up causing it to be released back into the blood stream in the
form of calories to be burned up as energy.
The body accumulates fat by a simple biological process. The food
we eat contains calories that are stored in
our blood stream. When we have an excess of calories, the body
stores them as fat. The InfraRed Body Wrap reverses this process
by breaking the fat down into calories and placing them back into
the blood stream to be
used as energy.
To reiterate, the purpose of the body wrap is to get heat into
the body, thin the blood, bring metabolism
back into the “cold spots” and melt the fat tissue down. It is
just like heating butter in a frying pan. It
liquefies the fat, converts it to calories and puts it back into the
blood stream so your body can convert it into
energy.
Looking at Other Body Wraps
Although clay, mud and seaweed body wraps try to achieve the same
results, there are major differences
between how the InfraRed Body Wrap and other body wraps work.
Clay bandages are heated in a pot. The problem with this is that
once they are removed, they quickly decrease
in temperature. Time is then spent wrapping the client, which takes
15 minutes or more. During the wrapping
process, the bandages continue to decrease in temperature. So once
the client is wrapped, the heat level has
gone so low that the system is only effective for the initial 10 to
20 minutes of the one-hour treatment. The heat
dissipates and becomes virtually inadequate. (Keep in mind that clay
wraps warm the body from the outside
in.)
Do understand that the argument, against other methods of
wrapping, does not claim that they do not work. The
claim is that they are not as effective. Following is another
example of how other wraps are not as effective.
A sauna warms the body from the outside in, which makes the body
release sweat within minutes. The body’s
natural function is to keep cool causing the body to merely
perspire. Therefore, any temporary reduction in
weight is generally from water that has been perspired.
The InfraRed Body Wrap, as opposed to the above methods, uses
infrared heat. Through the many years of its use,
infrared has come to be known as a treatment with many benefits. It
has been used in hospitals, chiropractic
centers, and is used by sports therapists.
The great thing about infrared heat is that it is able to
penetrate the body and go directly to the bone.
This is
why the Infrared Body Wrap is sometimes used for sports injuries.
When you damage a muscle, the heat goes right to the bone and
promotes blood circulation which helps alleviate the pain. In
addition, pain such as arthritis is relieved.
The InfraRed Body
Wrap does not warm the body from the outside in; it warms from the
inside out.
Once the heat has reached the bone, the heat rises. It gets right
underneath the fat cells, including cellulite. It
warms the body at a constant temperature because it is done with a
constant electric heating pad, and not
something that loses its heat like clay bandages. The temperature
remains constant from the first to the last
minute.
Does anyone ever go to the gym and do cardiovascular? During the
first 20 minutes of the workout, the body is
just warming up. Then from the 21st minute on, the body begins to
burn fat. The InfraRed Body Wrap increases your
metabolism for 50 minutes, which melts the fat away. The blood is
thinned with the heat and it comes back in
to the areas of the fat tissue. It jumpstarts metabolism, which
breaks down the body fat, and releases it back
into the bloodstream for the body to use up as energy. The InfraRed
Body Wrap can burn up to 1200-2500 calories per wrap. That is why
the system is so effective.
When using the InfraRed Body Wrap, you are wrapped right over
your clothes eliminating any awkwardness of wrapping naked as
required by other body wraps. We recommend coming in wearing
t-shirts and loose sweats or jeans.
We also recommend 6 to 10 sessions spread over 3 to 5 weeks with
a few days in-between sessions. We recommend that InfraRed Body Wrap
users drink half their weight in ounces of
spring water for two days before their visit and drink lots of water
during their session and after. Water is life
and will be what helps to waste out the fat. Walking after work when
at home is also a great exercise during
their 3-5 week program.
