Download or read book Massage The Feel Good Medicine Without All the Bad Side Effects written by Ron Kness and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you suffer from one or more of the following problems: - Stress and anxiety - High blood pressure - Poor sleep quality - Exhaustion - Headaches or migraines - Muscle tension and pain - Back pain - A lack of focus and mental clarity - Weak immune system, you are sick all the time - Poor circulation and low energy reserves - General poor health These are just a few of the top concerns expressed by many people in modern society. Because of high-stress and hectic lifestyles many of us lead, it is easy to look at the problems above as being -normal, - or acceptable. Some people have been living with those types of health problems, and others, for so long that they just accept them as a part of life, but the above along with a less than healthy diet, and poorly managed physical and mental stress can create many health problems. Sound familiar? What if there was a simple, drug-free treatment for all of the above conditions, and many others? What if this healing therapy dates back thousands of years, involves no doctors or medications? Would you believe it if I told you this natural healing practice had proven effective for treating serious conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, arthritis and emotional disorders? How would you feel about enjoying a healing therapy free of side effects (unlike many medications), that delivers immediate and long-lasting benefits, while improving the health of both your mind and body? The incredible head to toe healing treatment we are talking about is... MASSAGE! You have probably heard massage proponents speak of the incredible stress-relieving properties of this natural, centuries-old healing technique. However, stress-relief is far from the only health benefit massage offers. A study released in 2012 showed that the act of massage actually reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. This helps lower blood pressure, boost your mood, and increase your emotional control. Massage also increases production of -feel good- neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, both of which support positive mood, sound emotional health, and lower risks for depression. Massage boosts brain wave activity and has a positive effect on your Delta waves, brain waves that are related to a healthy sleep process. Research released in 2010 shows that massage actually increases the number of white blood cells in your body, leading to a powerful immune system that resists disease and infection. One particularly enlightening piece of research for women shows massage as excellent for conquering PMS symptoms, like bloating and mood swings. A massage session as short as 15 to 30 minutes can improve your mental clarity and focus, raise your alertness and decrease headache symptoms. Because of the increase in blood flow and circulation, massage even offers benefits to your skin and hair. The physical rejuvenation your body undergoes during massage -plumps up- slack, flabby skin, and pulls toxins and other poisons away from your cells so your hair and skin become young and healthy looking and feeling. Massage has also been shown to be effective for numerous other medical conditions. Let our comprehensive book be your guide! You now have at your fingertips the opportunity to learn all about massage, and how it can benefit your health... Get your copy today and start enjoying better health tomorrow!
