Dry kelp for weight loss

Dry kelp is actively used in the implementation of a set of measures aimed at reducing weight. Drying seaweed does not reduce the effectiveness of its effects on the human body. Apply laminaria externally (wraps, peelings, masks) and eat with food.

To reduce body volume, improve the condition of the skin and get rid of manifestations of cellulite, wraps with thalli of sea kale are effective. Conduct similar events, you can not only in the beauty salons or SPA. It is possible to carry out wraps at home. The use of kelp allows to remove excess moisture from the skin cells (eliminates swelling), strengthen the metabolic processes in the epidermis (the skin is cleansed, becomes more elastic and smooth), normalize trophic tissue in deep layers and activate blood circulation of the skin, which will reduce the manifestations of cellulite and more a slender silhouette.

To reduce the volume of cellulite formations, improve the tone of the skin using hot and cold wraps. They are carried out after thorough cleansing of the skin with the help of peeling. To conduct body wraps, 400-600 grams of dry seaweeder thallus impregnated with 3-5 liters of water will be needed. The standard course of algal wraps consists of 8-10 procedures that take place within 3-5 weeks.

Hot wraps. Before wrapping, the kelp is soaked for 30 minutes in water, the temperature of which should not exceed 60 ° C. The procedure is based on the creation of a "greenhouse effect" on the surface of the skin. After applying kelp to problem areas, wrap the body with a plastic wrap and wrap it around the blanket. To enhance the warming effect, you can use a thermo blanket or SPA capsule. This will cause the maximum expansion of blood vessels and increase the intensity of microcirculation in the deep layers of the skin. Active blood circulation will lead to a reduction of cellulite tubercles and smoothing of the skin relief, through the open pores the body will get rid of toxic substances. This method of treatment is contraindicated in people who have a history of superficial or deep varicose veins.

Cold wraps. Before the wrapping procedure, dried laminaria should be saturated with moisture. To do this, it is necessary to soak the algae for 1 hour in water at room temperature. After applying the kelp to the problem areas, the body is wrapped with a food film without wrapping it with a blanket. This procedure helps saturate the skin with useful mineral compounds, helps strengthen small blood vessels and capillaries, is effective in a complex of weight loss measures. Cold wraps are used in cellulite formations, skin flabbiness at a sharp weight loss, to improve metabolic processes and increase skin turgor. A good result is given by the procedure with chronic foot fatigue associated with a violation of microcirculation in the lower limbs. Contraindications cold algal wrap does not have, except for an individual allergic reaction to iodide compounds.

The duration of the procedures of hot and cold wraps varies from 0.5 to 1 hour. During the algal wrapping, you can include pleasant relaxing music. After the completion of the procedure will give a cool shower to the body.

Laminaria can be added to food. Sea cabbage effectively reduces the feeling of hunger, speeds up the process of processing fats, improves metabolism in tissues and promotes the saturation of the body with vitamin and mineral compounds. Due to the fact that kelp is low in calories, then it can be consumed in a fairly large amount. Adding sea kale to high-calorie foods, it will help reduce the amount of lipids that have entered the body.

Laminaria is a valuable product that is saturated with amino acids and trace elements. On the way to achieving the coveted weight and attractiveness of the forms of kelp is not the main means, but plays only a supporting role in the complex of measures. Just daily intake of the amount of kelp indicated in the diet will not lead to weight loss. It is necessary to know and execute the technique, thanks to which algae will start burning fat.

The drug helps reduce pressure, has a laxative effect, antisclerotic, antithyroid, hypocholesterolemic effect. The therapeutic effect of Evalar is determined by the content of iodide compounds. Iodine is needed for the synthesis of the thyroxine hormone. Thyroxine accumulates in the tissues of the thyroid gland. Its effect is the longest in comparison with other hormones. Thyroxin stimulates the growth and development of the entire body. The mechanism of the release of thyroxin from the thyroid gland into the blood is corrected by its amount in the blood. This hormone in normal concentrations helps to increase protein assimilation, activate enzymes, improve the assimilation of P, Fe, Ca. In connection with the acceleration of metabolic processes, weight loss occurs. Laxative effect of tablets promotes weight loss. The laxative effect is achieved due to the ability of laminar polysaccharides to irritate the receptors of the intestinal mucosa, which leads to increased intestinal motility and the elimination of stagnant phenomena.

Everything is good in moderation. When taking kelp in any form it is necessary to observe the regime of the day, a good sleep, walk in the fresh air, physical exercises are mandatory.

Doctor's comments

Doctors and nutritionists do not agree on the ability of kelp to reduce body weight. Most doctors believe that algae benefits the body in small quantities, as a food that must be regularly included in your diet. Disagreement is caused by a diet based on the use of a large amount of brown algae. Most doctors are inclined to believe that without reducing the caloric content of products, playing sports, the diet will not lead to the expected effect. Despite this, the dietary diet associated with the use of kelp will help to improve the well-being and mood.

Concerning bioactive additives, doctors hold the opinion that dietary supplements have a positive effect on the human body, but in solving problems with excess weight they are only an auxiliary.

The most positive is the doctors and phytotherapists evaluate laminaria wraps for weight loss. Wraps are uniquely recommended for use, in the presence of a desire to say goodbye to fat accumulations and get rid of manifestations of cellulite and stretch marks.

From deep antiquity to us came knowledge about the positive effect of sea kale for the improvement of the body.
