Acupuncture Without Needles And Other Cool Stuff

By Marie Baker


There are so many things the body does simultaneously that it overwhelms us to even think about it. There are also a multiple ways to influence how well our body works and how it behaves. Discussions on this topic can be infinite.

You have more control of your body than you know and you can do things you never even thought was possible. From sensory deprivation to relieve stress, cold thermogenesis in a cryogenic chamber to improve metabolism, and acupuncture without needless making the practice easier for the lay person. Lets discuss some simple ways to influence your biology.

To start off let us talk about diet, the body fat set point in particular. The vast majority is unaware that our bodies actually determine a healthy level of stored body fat for us, whether that corresponds to our goals for body image will depend on the signals we give it. That is why there are cases of people who try to cut calories to lose weight but end up getting obsessed over food and bringing their weight back to the starting point.

The fix for this however, is quite easy. The hormone responsible for this phenomena is Leptin. A master hormone in metabolism, leptin usually determines how effective other metabolic hormones can be. Trying to control your insulin with medication will be useless if one is not sensitive to leptin. Like other metabolic hormones, Insulin answers to leptin.

Re calibrating leptin sensitivity is fairly easy though, just consume around thirty grams of protein and large amounts of quality animal sourced saturated fats thirty minutes upon waking. Sources like eggs, butter, coconut oil, and beef have shown good effects. One must strive for highest quality sources of these foods.

Within a period of two to six weeks only making this adjustment, individuals experience rapid fat loss, increased libido, and more energy. Once you start to experience this, experts advise to go on a low carbohydrate, high fat diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fermented vegetables, and resistant starch to get the best results. This diet has also been found to be the best way to maintain long term results.

Our control over our body does not end with diet. There are also skills we can develop that seem very implausible. Learning to stimulate acupressure points by yourself without needles using a special apparatus designed to penetrate deep into skin is a basic one. Other skills include training your stress response with heart rate variability so that you consciously know how to stop being nervous, and focus brain training to give yourself the ability to focus on anything you want at will.

Heart rate variability refers to the volume of blood the heart pumps out on every individual beat. Having a hear beat that is less constant and more variable is healthier. Machines that track heart rate variability are now available and most link with smartphones. Using this software you are given feedback that shows you whenever you are stressed and relaxed so that you become aware of it, you can then use this feedback to know exactly when to make changes in your demeanor to remove stress.

Focus brain training is similar to HRV. Individuals need to purchase a computer program along with special electrodes to be stuck on your skull in the area of the prefrontal cortex, you then view a screen with a jet that move backwards if you are out of focus or forward when you are in focus. This and the other examples are just a few obscure ways people can be more in control of their bodies.
