Shiatsu and weight loss

Shiatsu could help you to lose weight and is the ideal partner for a programme of weight loss (reducing the intake of fatty acids) and/or gentle aerobic exercise. Shiatsu could help by:

Stimulating your lymph and immune systems. This will help to remove toxins, excess water and mucus deposits from your body, which can build up in fatty tissue and add to body weight.

Activate your digestive system. This will help the digestive system to work more efficiently and allow you to achieve maximum potential from your food.

Balance your hormonal system. By improving the balance and regulation of your hormonal system, Shiatsu can reduce stress on your kidneys and lead to a more effective bodily functioning.

Calming your nervous system. Shiatsu calms the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion, blood purification, waste control and hormonal regulation.

Toning your muscular system. Shiatsu can improve the tone, elasticity and lubrication of your muscles leaving you looking and feeling better.

In addition Shiatsu can enhance skin tone, improve posture, increase stamina and build the immune system. Credited to Mike Day
