Nature’s Pharmacy

Because I am in the body wrap business and always getting asked questions about weight and controlling it and what we can do to help with not packing the pounds on and currently taking the pounds and inches off, I thought you all might find this interesting….”food for though and health!”

It has been circling around for quite a while, but in case you missed it…it’s worth a gander!

It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… All before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We’re such slow learners…

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges , Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Home Body Wrap Recipe in Womans World Magazine

Andrea — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:41:53 +0000

If you are looking for the Home Body Wrap Recipe that was seen in Woman’s World Magazine in the December 5, 2011 issue, you can check it out here. As a professional body wrap tech and trainer and the Corporate Trainer for LA SlimWrap, body wraps ARE my business! I have used many products over the past 15 years and have even created one for my clients before finding a professional wrap that delivers the outstanding results that my clients were asking for. LA SlimWrap is the only professional mineral body that I recommend; not only for its great inch loss results, but for its overall toning and tightening effect as well as its detoxifying qualities.

LA SlimWrap’s highly concentrated formula is by far the best route to go when seeking body wraps, but if you are not in the Los Angeles area or near one of the many spas offering LA SlimWrap, you may want to try this recipe for your very own at home body wrap. Remember, the results will not be as great as being wrapped professionally in a compacting professional LA SlimWrap, but you will see a bit of inch loss and some toning and tightening.

I am very proud that Women’s World Magazine contacted LA SlimWrap about their fabulous results the celebrities receive getting LA SlimWrap mineral body wrap. And since they like to keep their readers happy and give them alternatives if there is no LA SlimWrap location near them, am very happy to share the recipe I use to use so you too can use on my clients. Now you must know, that wrapping yourselft is time consuming and you will not receive the same results as having a professionally trained body wrap technician wrap you, but you will get some of the tightening and skin detoxifying results that you may be looking for. Click on the link below to check it out.

If you have any questions or would like to share your results, please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.

For at home body wrap recipe.

One more quick note! Please understand that a body wrap is a quick fix to help you feel toned and tighter and may even help your clothes feel a bit less snug in only one wrap….BUT for outstanding, longer lasting results, you must continue to get one. My recommendation for the best results possible is to receive a body wrap 3 times the first week, 2 times the second week and then once a week for at least 5 weeks. Then you can taper off to a maintenance of once a month. And remember you must drink lots of water to help flush your system (at least a half ounce per every pound you way, i.e. if you weigh 150 lbs. then 75 ounces of water a day).

Infrared Body Wraps – Top Five Benefits

Andrea — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 13:34:41 +0000

Infrared Body Wraps – Top Five Benefits of Infrared Body Wraps

I received a call yesterday from a client of mine who happened to see an article I had written, which I am posting below. She questioned me as to why I have in the Infrared Body Wraps for Weight Loss section I stated in “30 minutes you can expend up to 600 calories” when, in fact, I have her staying in the infrared wrap for 50 minutes! Go ahead read the article below, then we can discuss the 30 vs. 50 minute controversy!

What is an Infrared body wrap?

An infrared body wrap is a body treatment that involves an infrared blanket and may or may not consist of a product application.

An infrared blanket allows the client to relax while enjoying the benefits of infrared. When applying certain products to the body prior to the treatment, can accelerate the of the benefits.

First let’s talk about the benefits for a few moments of an Infrared Body Wrap.

Detoxification. Sweating is the natural way for the body to heal and stay healthy. Infrared provides a person with a deep sweat and cleansing of the skin because it penetrates the about 1 – 2 inches and pushes the toxins out through the sweating process.

Skin Rejuvenation. Infrared body wraps and infrared saunas can actually help restore skin to a more youthful appearance. There was a study done by the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy that showed a significant difference in just 12 weeks with the reduction of wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet as well as a toning of the skin such as firmness, elasticity and clarity.

Pain Relief. Many people experience infrared heat works by penetrating joint, muscles and tissues, speeding up oxygen flow and promoting better circulation.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction. It has been studied that infrared helps the body to maintain healthy levels or cortisol. We have all heard about cortisol and how it the number one cause of belly fat. Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the body and raises when we are stressed out and raises the heart rate and blood pressure leading to the deposit of excessive fat and weight in the midsection. So taking a 30 minute session 3 times a week can help you to relax and reduce the effects of excess cortisol.

Weight Loss. If you are looking to lose weight, then an infrared body wraps may be the key to your success. It has been shown that a 30 minute session can actually burn up to 600 calories. When the body temperature is raised by heat of any kind, our bodies need to cool itself down. In doing so our heart rate increases as well as our metabolic rate, which causes the body to burn calories. Using infrared is a simple and relaxing treatment to help with those extra pounds many of us are carrying around.

Infrared body wraps are becoming a popular service at spas and salons around the world, and with good reason.

The benefits from infrared wraps are many. Here were just five of the benefits people enjoy when receiving an infrared body wrap treatment.

I urge you to do some research and find out for yourself how this simple and affordable treatment can benefit how you look and feel.

For more information on infrared body wraps and the possibility of using them to look and feel your best you can check out more information about the Infrared Wrap.

OK, now let’s talk about the 30 minutes vs. 50 minutes in the infrared body wrap for weight loss benefits. Although infrared is great for pain relief (in fact, infrared was invented by a doctor in Germany for patients with rheumatoid arthritis), relaxation and even a bit of skin rejuvenation in a 30 minute infrared treatment, to expend the calories by raising the bodies temperature and increase the metabolic rate by getting your heart to pump faster, you will need to stay in the infrared treatment for 30 minutes after your body warms up and begins to sweat. For most people that is about 15 – 25 minutes! Then you will add the 30 minutes. So a total infrared body wrap treatment should last 45 – 60 minutes…average 50 minutes and never more than the 60 minutes!

If you are using or would like to use infrared body wraps as part of your healthy lifestyle and have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to help you. If you would like to share your infrared body wrap experience, go ahead and leave a comment below.

Body Wrap Seen on The Doctors

Andrea — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:55:57 +0000

The Body Wrap seen on The Doctors TV yesterday is the latest from LA Slim Wrap in helping women achieve a better body image.

For some of us no matter how hard we try; we eat right and we exercise and still nothing seems to budge around the hips and thighs! A whole body is great for overall toning and tightening and detox, but sometimes we just need that extra push in those troublesome areas; hence the LA SlimWrap spot treatment named “The Triple B.” This partial body wrap targets the belly, butt and ‘saddle’ bag areas with great results. The results are so good that some one told the producers of The Doctors TV and the next thing you know, we are featured on the show. (I will post the video as soon as I get a copy!)

Until then, check out LA Slim Wrap and the salons and spas using this awesome product!

Why Use an Infrared Body Wrap

Andrea — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:31:28 +0000

Infrared body wrap heat can penetrate up to about 2 inches and can actually reach the bone. It is because of this deep penetration why an infrared body wrap can be so effective for sore muscles, sports injuries and even the aches and pains from arthritis as well as for the reduction of cellulite and weight loss.

It is has been said that a 60 minute session can actually burn about 1500 hundred calories.

Now let it be noted this really depends on the person’s particular body type and how well they can handle the heat. With keeping your caloric intake to a reasonable level based on your particular active or non-active lifestyle, over the years I have seen client’s lose up to 25 pounds per month using an infrared body wrap at least three times a week.

Main Function of Infrared

Let’s discuss for a moment the main function of infrared and how a infrared benefit your body to function at a more optimal level, shall we? Yes, we shall!

When our body accumulates fat, circulation can slow down. In fact, when most of us gain weight we begin to slow down because of that excess weight and instead of moving more we tend to move less and then a vicious cycle begins to develop.

Good circulation is vital to helping keep our bodies warm and give it the ability to also burn fat. When fat begins to accumulate in such places as hips, thighs and tummies, circulation slows and fat just stays. With infrared and the ability to penetrate so deeply, it helps to heat up the area, in turn creates better circulation and fat can be loosened and moved into the blood stream and can be now used as energy and our metabolism rate will rise.

With circulation moving better and your metabolic rate raised the body is able to also detoxify and help rid itself of toxins, wastes and impurities not only through the blood stream, but also through our largest organ; the skin.

Traditional Wraps vs. Infrared Body Wrap

Most of us have had body treatment wraps that use clay, seaweed, aloe, minerals and mud with great results, but are really only used for toning and tightening the skin. Inch loss can be achieved through the compression of the body wraps and cellulite can be diminished through the particular products being used, but none of those wraps are used and can actually claim weight loss results.

These body wraps are applied warm. The elastic bandages or gauze-type wraps are soaked in a warm solution and then applied to the body. The heat from these applications only last for a few minutes. Although after the body wrap is applied, you will most likely covered with a poncho or blankets to keep warm. This warmth is really from your own body heat.

These particular body wrap products (clay, seaweed, aloe, minerals and mud) are very effective, but cannot achieve the level of penetration or results that can be obtained from an infrared body wrap treatment.

The Best of Both Worlds

Alone each type of body wrap can provide fabulous results. However, an infrared body wrap which helps to promote circulation, raises metabolism, promotes detoxification and weight loss when combined with a more traditional mineral compression wrap for inch loss, for example, can help you to look and feel your best.

Because of their effectiveness, ease of use and very little attention is required to set up and get the client ready, an infrared body wrap is becoming a very popular choice at spas, salons and massage businesses.

To learn more about why you should be using an infrared body wrap as part of your healthy lifestyle and the best one to use then contact Andrea Pekarik Welch for all the latest information.
