New Way to Build Muscle May Help Those with Chronic Disease
Too much fat is commonly the root of
many chronic diseases like diabetes or prediabetes, high blood pressure and
high cholesterol, the same way lack of lean muscle mass is at the root of
chronic arthritis, fatigue and aches and pain. This is why the therapeutic
lifestyle changes diet (TLC), created by the National Institute of Health and
National Cholesterol Education Program, is such a powerful tool to help
patients with chronic disease.
TLC consists of eating and exercising based upon body
type. Nourishing the body with whole foods based on type helps lose fat, and
exercising based on body type helps build muscle. EMSCULPT is an innovative,
nonsurgical U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared device that uses
high-intensity, focused, electromagnetic technology to eliminate unwanted fat
and build muscle by creating powerful contractions in the treatment area.
This non-invasive technique has no downtime. These
contractions are stronger than what is possible to do voluntarily, making this
treatment extremely effective. The EMSCULPT system is able to activate 100
percent of the muscles in the treatment area versus voluntary exercise, which
only activates about 5 percent of muscles. Thus, one treatment has the same
effect as doing 20,000 repetitions.
