What if Weight Loss isn’t your Biggest Issue?

Beyond Weight Loss: The Positive Effects of Far Infrared Rays on Metabolism

• Obesity is at an all time high.
• Our food sources are polluted with GMO’s, are high in sodium and other toxins.  
• Most most American’s eat processed food and even family dinners are “fast food”. 

 So, it’s no surprise that for many, their number one goal and concern is to LOSE WEIGHT!  It begs the question of, "Which came first...the chicken or the egg?"  I mean... there are health issues causing us to gain weight and we are gaining weight which is causing health issues.  

It’s enough to make make even the sanest person crazy!  

So, it’s safe to say that for most of us, we want to boost our metabolism so we can lose weight.

You probably know that your metabolism is a complex process. For instance, metabolism is made up of of thousands of biochemical reactions that are vital to our health and survival.  Metabolism does more than just break down “matter” (i.e. fat) to derive energy...did you know it is also responsible for the utilization of energy to create new “matter” (i.e. hair, skin, nails, organ tissue, cells, etc).

Metabolic functions depend on the health of the organs responsible for their maintenance. Hormones primarily determine our metabolic rate, which are secreted by endocrine organs such as the pancreas, thyroid, and adrenals.

Some of the ways these organs and their respective hormones affect metabolism are as follows:

• Diabetes:  Insulin resistance is a metabolic disorder characterized by the cells’ inability to use sugar, often worsening into the chronic degenerative condition known as diabetes. Most people with insulin resistance or diabetes are overweight due to the cellular inability to metabolize carbohydrates and fat effectively.  When the cells do not use sugar, it is converted into fat.
  
  

• Thyroid:  The thyroid gland, more than any other organ in the endocrine system, is considered the master gland that regulates metabolism. Hypothyroidism, a common thyroid disorder among women, results in weight gain due to the insufficient production of hormones T3 and T4 that control metabolism.  
  
  

• Stress:  Unmanaged chronic stress can lead to adrenal insufficiency. The hormone cortisol is manufactured by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol affects the metabolism of the macronutrients fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Fat storage of a person suffering from adrenal fatigue is usually found in the midsection.
  

The Amethyst BioMat with Far Infrared and Negative Ions Reduced Stress by 78% (study results released 2011).

Dr. George Grant, Ph.D., I.M.D., M.Sc., M.Ed., C. Chem., R.M., a former Consultant for Health Canada, found that by using the BioMat, not only were cortisol levels were reduced on a group average by 25.15% and stress levels were reduced by 78%.  

*Subjects were tested before and after using the BioMat for one hour daily over a 3-month period using 3 different biofeedback devices and blood cortisol levels to measure stress reduction. These results were validated by Pre and Post Biofeedback Brain Scans as well as fasting blood test to measure the stress hormone cortisol.  

Benefits of Far Infrared Heat Therapy

As we all know, eating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, exercising, reducing stress levels, and supplementing help us reduce stress, but these aren’t the only natural solutions for the treatment of metabolic disorders. Far infrared heat therapy, a non-pharmacological intervention that penetrates each cell with its long-wave healing rays, is a potent protocol that can dramatically reverse metabolic problems in a short period of time.

Far infrared heat has the ability to:

• detoxify and revitalize various organ systems such as the endocrine system
  
• support and activate the body’s natural healing powers
  

When it comes to quality delivery of FIR heat the BioMat is a the gold standard.  BioMat is the highly recognized wellness choice, delivering the healing benefits of both far infrared heat therapy and negative ion treatment. 

Negative ions trigger detoxification by attracting positive ions, which are always in excess in a sick body. They are also responsible for cellular rejuvenation, resulting in an efficient metabolism.

The infrared heat generated by the BioMat burns calories while your body is lying on the device. The remarkable thing is that FIR heat also stimulates your body to continue burning calories even after you’re done using the BioMat. That’s because the physiological changes that far infrared rays affect are so profound they work overtime. Frequent exposure to far infrared heat also results in higher energy levels resulting in weight loss.

Even though weight gain might be the biggest concern for many individuals...weight gain isn’t usually the worst symptom of a metabolic disorder. These more serious, potentially life-threatening symptoms and conditions require medical practitioners normally focus on resolving these issues before address weight.

The remarkable thing about the far infrared heat's ability to normalize endocrine function with each session with the BioMat is that other health issues related to the above-mentioned organ dysfunctions/hormonal imbalances may improve as well. 

Increasing insulin sensitivity wards off common diabetes complications such as hypertension, heart disease, obesity, glaucoma, and gangrene. A diabetic is also more prone to cancer since his body already has the environment that will enable malignant cells to thrive and multiply. 

Someone suffering from adrenal exhaustion that is concerned about belly fat may also find relief from muscle weakness, depression, fatigue, hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, and headaches as well.

Lose weight and reverse metabolic disorders with the BioMat today.
