Bob LeMendola, a staff writer for the Sun-Sentinel, reported that first-generation Hispanics are much more likely to develop cancer than people in the home countries. The big jump in cancer happens after Hispanics move to Florida and is due to adopting unhealthy U.S. behaviors such as overeating, fatty meals, and stress. Dr. Paulo Pinheiro, a public health researcher at the University of Miami, School of Medicine, offered South Floridian Hispanics practical advice, eat and live healthily.
According to Maria Herrera, a Broward Country massage therapist for almost ten years, “Regular massage is just as important a component as regular workouts and correct nutrition in any comprehensive fitness and weight loss program, which is great news for those of us who thought that exercising and loosing weight was all hard work! Remember, weight loss is all about leading a balanced lifestyle and massage is an essential part of any balanced lifestyle. This is precisely why I’ve developed the Broward Weight Loss Massage.”
Massage has a positive effect on muscle-building capabilities and fitness levels, which increases the capacity to lose weight. Healthy strong muscles burn calories and provide the freedom to participate in activities; more activities can help burn excess calories and improve overall fitness and well-being.
Massage improves circulation and the supply of nutrition to the muscles. Massage increases the interchange of vital substances between the blood and tissue cells, which increases tissue metabolism. After muscles are exercised, vital nutrients must be supplied to them so that they can recover and rebuild themselves. Massage maximizes the supply of these nutrients and oxygen though increased blood flow, which helps the muscles to grow and burn more calories as a result.
Massage improves range of motion and flexibility. This allows for the ability to maintain maximum power and performance while active, and burn the maximum number of calories in the process. Improved range of motion and flexibility also reduces muscle soreness during periods of recovery and muscle repair. Having a wide range of motion and maximum muscle flexibility also reduces the danger of experiencing injuries during exercise which can severely limit activity, exercise and weight loss progress.
Massage can also help reduce the chance of you over-training. Massage has a relaxing effect on the muscles and a sedative effect on the nervous system. By helping rest, which is a very important element of any exercise program, massage can reduce the likelihood of over-training syndrome, which is known to limit the ability to build strong healthy muscles and therefore lose weight with maximum efficiency.
Massage directly aids in fat loss. Massage is thought to be able to burst the fat capsule in subcutaneous tissue so that the fat exudes and becomes absorbed. When combined with proper nutrition and exercise, massage actually assists in weight loss.
