The importance of the metabolism for figure shaping
In our body, permanent processes for the production of energy take place, which transform the stored sugar and the fat reserves. There arises the question of how these processes can be used to decrease fat deposits.
Two comments first: in order to simplify the described metabolic processes certain interrelations were slightly shortened. Also, we would like to put this topic in a lively manner and avoid that our own bodyfat and sugar reserves* are classified as some soulless energy suppliers. Instead we imagine them as small annoying troublemakers which give us a real hard time. Let’s just call them “Fatty” and ”Sweety”. At first glance Fatty seems to be primarily responsible for our figure problems. On closer inspection we notice that Sweety is a sly old dog and is just as bad as Fatty!
The basics about the Duo Infernale
Both fat and sugar are converted to energy by our metabolism. In part this is done directly with food intake, this process also continues when we are not eating. During this time Fatty and Sweety are put aside and used again when necessary for the production of energy. In order that the body quickly has access to its two energy suppliers at first the liver and the muscles are filled up. Once the muscles are saturated and there is still more fat and sugar in the blood stream, it comes to something that might be called “energy storage”. This is were the fat deposits will be enriched. The hormone insulin plays a critical role in this context. As soon as Sweety “rushes around” in large quantities in our blood stream our body distributes to much insulin. This messenger substance has the task to “open the fat cells” among others. Fatty has waited for this moment: he takes this opportunity to slip in quickly and makes himself comfortable there. But it gets worse! During this entire process the excess sugar is transformed into fat and then stored in the cells. Metaphorically speaking this means: If we eat dry bread our fat deposits grow!
Right move!
The key question of course is how to get the fat out of the deposits again? The answer: by the correct movement. To understand why the right kind of movement is so crucial, one must know the following backgrounds. Sugar and fat are in principle also metabolized for energy. However there are some factors determining the ratio in which the body utilizes both of them. Fatty specifically is decreased when training in low intensity. With increased intensity (higher heart rate) the sugar quantity which is burnt grows. The consequence: the fat consumption is reduced. So, to activate the fat metabolism, it is best to train in low intensity. Ideally three times per week, approximately 30 minutes each time. For example, the HYPOXI-Training sessions are based on this principle.
* Sugar in this context represents all carbohydrates. Also manifestations such as glucose or glycogen are classified under the term “sugar”.
Food myth revealed
Is dinner making us fat?
It is a myth that calories absorbed in the evening store as fat more easily. In the Mediterranean countries people eat extensively in the evening and yet the population, on an average are not more overweight compared to other European countries. In addition there is a comprehensive nutritional study with 7000 participants who have been observed over a period of more than 10 years. Here, there is no difference, that has been determined between the ”late eaters” and all others. The message is clear: only the daily consumed total calorie quantity is responsible for weight increase or weight reduction, but not the time of food intake. However, metabolic processes form part of the bio-rhythm and important regeneration processes take place during sleep. That is why it is advisable to renounce from high carbohydrates and high-fat meals, so not to impede the night time cell regeneration.
HYPOXI against cardio vascular diseases
Fat deposits may not only undermine your figure but also your health whereas in this context fat is not equal to fat. The female problem areas in the lower half of the body have only a minor impact on health. Quite in contrast to the “male”pattern with its significant stomach that can bear major negative health risks. A waist circumference of 102 cm for men and of 88 cm for women significantly increases the risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. A flat stomach is not only an aesthetical question. For those who want to fight it, HYPOXI has developed a special training device. With the Vacunaut the stomach can be shaped specifically. The typical female problem areas, thighs, hips and buttocks are less dangerous to health but pose a problem of another kind. They are extremely persistent because in the concerned fat deposits the cell metabolism is extremely sluggish. But even for these fat deposits, there are special HYPOXI-Training devices. Targeted pressure changes increase the blood circulation and stimulate the metabolism exactly in the affected areas. Thus, a targeted fat loss is possible even on stubborn areas.
Break the cellulite vicious circle
Metabolic processes not only influence the increase and decrease of fat deposits but also the occurrence of cellulite. A sluggish metabolism hinders the disposal of waste products which are also deposited in the fat cells. The bulging fat cells can no longer be kept in position by the subcutaneous tissue and push themselves to the surface. The unpleasant effect: Cellulite, once it has developed the vicious circle starts as the metabolic disorders increase. Inflated fat cells interfere with the flow of lymph fluid and blood whereby tissue fluid is pressed into the surrounding areas. Counter acting is possible by local fat loss on the one hand and on the other hand by the movement of the skin and the connective tissue. The HYPOXI-Dermology with its 400 small pressure chambers which gently massage the body with a permanent change in intervals of under and over pressure. This treatment activates the lymph flow, tightens the skin and optimally prepares the subcutaneous fat tissue for the subsequent HYPOXI-Training. Therefore this combination represents the most effective cellulite treatment.
Optimum effect
Tangible difference by HYPOXI
Activation of problem zones: In a simple test, the difference between conventional training and the HYPOXI-Method can be tested: Check your body temperature after 30 minutes of exercise. You will notice that certain parts of the body feel warm, however, your problem areas remain cold. The poor blood supply is the reason for a lower temperature in these areas. The HYPOXI-Method works exactly here! During the treatment these body areas are precisely being supplied with blood.
The HD Comfort lounger and the PressureSuit provide gentle pressure changes for strengthening the connective tissue of the abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs on a large scale. The result: The skin looks firmer, more beautiful and younger. For those who yearn for a slim waist or flat stomach, the HYPOXI-Vacunaut was developed. Along with moderate exercise it enables a reduction of the abdominal circumference of more than one dress size within five weeks on average.
