Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a natural, safe, rapid, non-addictive and legal way to increase serotonin levels: What is serotonin? A critical neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you calm and happy and helps you to sleep. This is the same neurotransmitter that prescription antidepressant drugs effect, as well as illegal drugs such as Ecstasy. Research studies measuring increased serotonin levels have only been done in animals because brain tissue samples must be taken. Anecdotal evidence for humans is very strong. Hundreds of my clients report very rapid and dramatic improvements in mood, energy, and sleep within days of beginning regular vibration sessions. Thousands more report immediate mood improvement (as well as pain reduction which will be covered in a future blog post) after free demos at health shows where I exhibit Body Vibes. How to get the best… [Read More]
Increasing Bone Density
Whole body vibration has been proven in numerous research studies to increase bone density: Studies on mice, sheep and turkeys have shown dramatic results increasing bone density up to 30% from 6 months of daily vibration (with simultaneous corresponding decreases in fat). Studies with people have shown slower but steady rates of bone density increases. A likely reason for this difference in results is that the animals are usually young and healthy (able to respond and heal faster) and eating controlled diets with all the proper nutrients and minerals included. Human studies focus on older people where there is a high incidence of osteoporosis or osteopenia, and people often do not eat optimum diets. How vibration works to increase bone density: It is the contraction of muscle fibers where they attach to bone… [Read More]
