Home Massage Treatments Could Be the Missing Ingredient from a Healthy Lifestyle and Balanced Diet

A recent edition of the Harvard Medical School Journal might hold the key to maintaining a healthy diet for longer, with the news that elevated stress levels could result in fatty food binges.
 
The news suggests that regular massage therapy could do more than relieve tension; but could even help you to maintain a balanced diet.
 
In an article entitled ‘Why Stress Causes People to Overeat’, an analysis of the physical and biological effects of stress suggests that anxiety could be hindering best laid diet plans; and regular massage treatments in the comfort of your own home could be the answer.
 
Many believe that stress reduces their appetite. In some cases this is true. Bouts of stress release a hormone known as corticotrophin, and this actually suppresses the appetite. In these instances the brain also alerts the adrenal glands to pump adrenaline which triggers the body’s fight or flight response.
 
So during periods of heightened tension, the body does not crave food, but periods of prolonged stress are a completely different matter. When stress continues the adrenal glands release another hormone called cortisol. Unlike corticotrophin, cortisol is actually proven to increase the appetite. As if that wasn’t enough, a number of studies have proven that the intake of foods high in fat and sugar increases.
 
Regularly relieving stress reduces appetite and in particular the craving for fatty foods, and one of the best ways to incorporate much needed R&R into a busy lifestyle is with mobile massage therapy from companies like Return to Glory, London’s leading provider of home massage, office wellbeing and mobile beauty treatments.
