There are several methods to achieve fat loss like dieting, workouts, supplements, natural therapies as well as surgeries. Surgeries for shedding extra fat are not very popular due to their high cost and complications. Fat again get deposited after some duration of time. So people prefer natural therapies as compared to surgeries. These natural therapies are not only safe but cost effective too. Here we will discuss two common natural therapies that are beneficially used for fat loss.

Magnet therapy for fat loss

In this therapy, magnets are used for curing a patient's disease. Every magnet has two poles: North Pole and South Pole. When a magnet is tied to a string and suspended in the air, the end that points to the north is called the North Pole and the end that points to the south called South Pole. This is a universally accepted convention. Each pole has its own distinct characteristics. The South Pole is cold and it slow down various processes of the body. The North Pole is hot and it stimulates various processes of the body.

In the treatment of obesity, the characteristic of the North Pole, that it stimulates the processes of the body, is very useful. As we know, in a fat person's body, metabolism is slow and consequently the food, instead of being burnt away, gets transformed into fat. If the process of burning away the food can be stimulated in some way, the obesity can be prevented or removed.

Metabolism of the body is directly related to the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of the throat, is stimulated with a North Pole, the basal metabolic rate goes up and the food is burnt in a larger quantity and that too faster. For this purpose, a fat person should keep the North Pole of a medium powered (1500 to 2000 gauss) magnet at the base of the throat for about 15 minutes. This should be done twice or thrice a day after meals.

Besides this, he should drink 3 to 4 times during the day, the water treated with the North Pole of the magnet. Each time the quantity of the water should be about half a cup.

Note: If a glass or a bottle filled with water is kept in constant contact with the North Pole of a magnet, at least for twelve hours, it becomes properly magnetized.

Massage therapy for fat loss

Massage is extensively used in the treatment of obesity and for removing the excess fat from particular parts of the body. It increases heat in the body and causes profuse perspiration. As a result of this, the basal metabolic rate goes up and health of the skin also improves.

A person who massages his body himself gets enough exercise and consequently his excess calories are consumed. Besides this, massage improves the health of the skin. While massaging, care should be taken to ensure that the flow of the blood going towards the heart should be assisted and not vice versa. For instance, while massaging the arm, pressure should be applied in the direction from wrist to the elbow, but not from the elbow to the wrist.
