Losing weight is an important thing for many urban female friends, but due to physical problems, different people are suitable for different ways to lose weight. Some people will lose weight through diet, some people will lose weight through exercise, and some people will try massage to lose weight. So is massage effective for losing weight?

Is massage useful for losing weight?

Massage to lose weight is to massage some acupoints to lose weight. This method can effectively promote the peristalsis of excess fat in the body and accelerate metabolism, thus making it in a soft and flammable state and reducing local fat accumulation. Long-term adherence to massage can burn fat and eliminate obesity. Even people who usually lack exercise, as long as they often use the correct massage techniques and accurately massage the acupoints, can also make the weight loss effect superimposed, thus achieving obvious weight loss and shaping effect.

Matters needing attention in massage to lose weight

First, avoid menstrual massage.

Women will have a lot of congestion in the pelvic cavity during menstruation, so it is not advisable to massage hard, otherwise it will aggravate the congestion in the pelvic cavity and lead to an increase in menstrual bleeding. Moreover, the whole body and local resistance of women during menstruation are very poor. At this time, massage will accelerate the blood circulation in the uterus, which is not conducive to the repair and healing of the endometrium after peeling, and it is easy to cause bacteria to invade the uterus and suffer from various gynecological diseases.

Second, avoid massage after meals 1 hour.

After meals 1 hour is the best time for the stomach to digest and absorb nutrients. If you massage at this time, it will interfere with the normal function of the stomach, so you must not sit on the sofa and massage in a hurry after meals, so as not to cause stomach discomfort. In addition, it is not appropriate to massage immediately if you have just taken a shower, are tired, have a fever, are sick, and drink too much. A better way is to let the body rest for about 2 hours before self-massage.

Third, avoid taking a bath immediately after massage.

Massage can raise local body temperature, open pores and dilate capillaries. If you take a bath at this time, it may cause your body to absorb the cold inadvertently, thus making the purpose of massage impossible.

I believe that after reading this article, female friends have a deeper understanding of massage, a novel way to lose weight. Although massage has a certain auxiliary effect on weight loss, it still takes some time to show the effect. If you want to lose weight quickly and healthily, you still need to combine diet and exercise with massage.
