Body Wraps for Weight Loss
Introduction
Body
wraps are elastic-type bandages soaked in a variety of solutions: e.g. amino
acids, herbal extracts, and collagen solutions. When applied to certain parts
of the body, they are typically supposed to offer a range of benefits, including
weight loss, fat-reduction, skin tightening and skin toning. Prices range from
$50 to $200 per session. You'll see body wraps for weight loss advertised by local
health and wellness centers from time to time.
The
body wrap claims
There is no medical evidence that these body wraps
produce weight loss. Nor is there any evidence that they can reduce fat. Any apparent
benefits are likely to be both temporary and cosmetic. Indeed, if you read the
small print in the promotional literature, you will see that lasting weight loss
and fat reduction is possible only by pursuing more orthodox dietary and exercise
methods. The only scientifically-proven method of firming, tightening or lifting
areas of your body, is regular exercise. Any temporary reduction such as "reduce
2" with an herbal body wrap" are simply short term if it works at all.
Verdict on herbal body wraps
You may
enjoy the experience of body wrapping, but be aware that it does not produce any
lasting weight loss. Nor does it produce any fat reduction. Nor does it produce
any lasting difference to the firmness of your body.
