How Massages are Anti-Aging

Massages have been used for centuries for relaxing and therapeutic purpose. However, modern age has changed our perception and now most of us consider massages as a luxury only dedicated to rich only.

But, this perception has to be changed as massages are rich in health benefits as must be used as preventative medicine technique.  Many recent studies have shown that these massages are bundle of benefits that must be for everyone and not only left for rich people.

Massages are anti-aging too, do you know that? I am sure that most of you have no idea about this that is why I am sharing this in detail with all of you.

Massages can decrease stress:

We all know that a stress is one of the prime factors of aging that not only age your skin, but also damage your health. So, it must be controlled and this can be done using massages, I know it is bit surprising for people like us, but this is absolutely possible.

Stress can cause an increase in cortisol and insulin levels (this leaves our body tense, heart rate and blood pressure high and puts lot of pressure on our organs to work harder).  This increased demand on higher on all our body to work more and can cause cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke.

Chronic insulin release can lead to insensitivity in the body’s insulin receptors and therefore higher risk for diabetes which means once your body starts to suffer from tension, fluctuating heart rate and extreme variants in glucose levels, and the list goes on.

So, now everyone has realized the downside of stress and this is the point where massages come to work.

According to Intensive and Critical Care Nursing Journal report, during first massage session critical patients receive remarkable heart-beat slowdown.

How does massage therapy decrease stress?

There are several ways massages can decrease stress such as:

• Massages can decrease cortisol and insulin levels while boost production of calming serotonin and dopamine.
• Massages boost oxytocin release (Oxytocin is a stress reducing, a bonding hormone). It helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system to slow down heart rate and breathing, relax musculature and improve digestion.
• Massages increases endorphin levels as endorphins are pain-reducing neurotransmitters.  Anxiety created by stress can cause increase sensitivity to pain. Endorphins help stop transmission of pain signals.
• Decrease Beta Brainwave activity (which leads to increase stimulated release of relaxing neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, as well as decreased release of cortisol levels.
• Increase sleep by stimulating Delta Brainwave activity as it is one which facilitates deep sleep induction…. explaining the natural tendency to dose off during your session!

I hope everyone is motivated enough to have at least one massage session in a month, massages in Dubai can do wonders to your body and help you stay fit and healthy.
