I don't know if this works, but no harm in trying... ________________________________ > >Did You Know... >>> >>>... that you can rub your stomach away effortlessly using nothing but your >>>hand -- for only 2 minutes a day? >>> >>> This may sound hard to believe, but Dr. Stephen Chang, an M.D. and >>> Ph.D. >>>who's trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, states that this simple >>>2-minute internal exercise, which does not come from Western medicine, but >>>rather from the wisdom of ancient Chinese sages -- has been used >>>successfully as >>>a self-healing mechanism for over 6,000 years. >>> >>> Whatever you do, don't confuse this internal exercise with the external >>>exercises of the Western world, such as sit-ups, crunches and other >>>movements >>>that only firm up the underlying stomach muscles ... but do nothing to melt >>>the >>>fat surrounding those muscles. >>> >>> According to Dr. Chang, losing weight is a simple matter of increasing >>> the >>>efficiency of the digestive system. If you've ever wondered why you fail to >>>shed pounds even when you reduce your food and/or caloric intake -- the >>>reason >>>is because your digestive and eliminatory systems are not functioning >>>efficiently. >>> >>> The following 2-minute exercise works like a gentle colonic >>>irrigation that helps speed up a sluggish digestive system (which usually >>>carries at least 5 pounds of fecal matter within it), and this elimination >>>of >>>useless sludge has the effect of burning off excess fat. The exercise >>>effectively metabolizes the fatty tissues around the stomach and intestines, >>>and >>>flushes them out of your body through blood, sweat, urine, and feces. >>> >>> Here's how to do the stomach-rubbing exercise: >>1) Lie flat on your back on your bed or on the floor. T ake your top off or >>pull it up so that your abdominal area is bare. >> >>2) Rub your hands together vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until they >>feel >>hot. >> >>3) Place one of your hands directly on your belly button and begin to rub >>in small circles around your belly button, and gradually make the circles >>larger >>(as shown in the diagram). Use fairly firm but comfortable pressure and rub >>at >>a slow, even pace, approximately 1 circle per second. >> >>4) Concentrate on the heat building up in, around and throughout your stomach. >> >>5) Do about 40 to 50 circles, or for an approximate duration of 2 minutes or >>more. >> >>Note: It is important to keep the abdominal area warm while doing the >>exercise, >>especially during winter months when even heated indoor air tends to be cool. >> >>For best results, do this routine twice a day for 2 minutes -- first thing in >>the morning (before breakfast) and just before you go to bed.
