How to Maximize Massage Sessions
With proper supplementation, adequate clean water intake and dietary adjustments you can maximize your massage sessions.

A sluggish lymphatic system contributes to cellulite. The lymph system is interactive with every organ, and is directly related to immune function and efficiency. It is a protector and a defense mechanism against infection, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and disease. It is comprised of fluid, vessels, ducts and various other organs and structures. It clears toxins, wastes, excess fluids, and infection from all tissues of the body through proper flow and drainage, but only if this essential system is functioning at its peak efficiency.

The lymphatic system is also connected to every cell and organ of the body. It is the garbage collector that sucks up metabolic garbage, toxins, and excess intracellular and extracellular fluid from every organ. If this flow is impaired, the fluid becomes toxic.

The parts of the body that rely on it for elimination become less efficient and sluggish as they fill with their own waste. This otherwise life sustaining system now becomes a breeding ground for infection. When the fluid enters the bloodstream, as is part of the normal process, infection can now spread to any organ or part of the body.

Many viruses, bacteria, and parasites stay locked within the lymphatic system when these conditions are present. The result: physical ailments, degenerative disease, hastening of the aging process and of course cellulite. The lymphatic system is not connected to the heart, so it has to rely upon some other activity to create the necessary pumping action it needs to circulate. The three most important methods of lymphatic circulation are external massage, muscle activity, and vigorous exercise.

Detoxing with Cellulite Massage

A cellulite massage will release toxins trapped within the fat cells. After a cellulite massage you must help flush the newly released toxins out of your body.

The following recommendations will help:

• Drink plenty of clean water - rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal ½ your body weight in ounces.
  For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
  Purified, spring or distilled with added minerals - no tap water!
• Adopt a dietary program that won't contribute to toxic build-up in your body.
• Certain supplements can help flush toxins out of your body and may lessen the severity of detox symptoms.
• Flax meal is an excellent source of fiber that will sweep toxins from your body without absorbing the much needed water from your colon.
• Daily skin brushing will help stimulate and release toxins trapped under the skin. You can purchase a brush specifically for this use at your local health food store. Don't wet the brush or use for anything else.
• Epsom salt baths are another relaxing way to help with detox.
• Saunas will help you sweat out the toxins.

Detox diet and nutritional information:

Did you know that eating carbs is the single MOST important action you can take to both lose weight and optimize your health?
Sounds unbelievable, but it's true. Mark Hyman, M.D., author of the NY Times best-seller UltraMetabolism, has just come out with a follow-on book named The UltraSimple Diet -- Kick-start Your Metabolism and Safely Lose up to 10 Pounds in 7 Days in which he describes exactly why this is the case.

The two primary causes of being sick and overweight are inflammation and toxicity. Special chemical compounds called phytonutrients that are found in plants help the body to detoxify and minimize inflammation. People forget that "carbs" include vegetables, which are plants, and not just white bread, flour and sugar, which is what people typically think of. By focusing on these two underlying causes -- toxicity and inflammation -- the body automatically takes care of everything else from there, leading to weight loss, clearer skin, more energy, better sleep and improved health.
