AROMATHERAPY

BALANCE

ARE YOU MAKING IT EASY

TO STAY LEAN?

TEXT CÉCILE ELLERT //

For a lot of athletes, being lean is very important. Some are working very hard for that…

I recently met a former male model who had to workout three hours each day to keep his body the way people like Armani and Versace were asking for it.

On the other hand, he was having fun each night, abusing alcohol and recreational drugs. So, where is the logic? You want to look good and healthy but what if it is just an illusion?

So many factors can easily make things just more complicated to lose weight…

Knowing them and keeping them under control can change your life and give you some healthy quality time.

1. Less sleep means more pounds Some research show that less than 5 hours sleep per night for an adult increases the obesity risks of 80%, mainly because of hormonal activity.

• On one side, the Ghreline (produced in the GI tract) stimulates hunger. Its level rises when you lack sleep.

• On the other hand, the Leptine, (produced by fat cells), tells us we can stop eating. When we lack sleep, this hormone is not secreted.

So, the lack of sleep explains why some people meet in front of the fridge in the middle of the night…and have a hard time to keep their weight down. Further more, the lack of sleep incites us to make bad choices such as grabbing the chocolate cake instead of the bowl of fruit.

04 // AUGUST 2013 // WEEKLY NEWS AROMATHERAPY BALANCE

It is vital that you have proper sleep, in quantity and quality.

Almonds

How can you help?

Whole grains (rice, quinoa, millet)

Have the proper food.

Pumpkin seeds

Not the hot milk, but:

Turkey meat

www.compressport.com

All contain sleep inducers that not only satisfy you but also help you not to get fat.

2. Food reactivity Intolerances and food sensitivity create a chain of reactions that feeds weight gain : • Indigestion symptoms (not easy to sleep when you cannot digest) • Decreased immunity (along with lack of energy, sugar consumption, peak of insulin and more fat cells) • Chronic candidosis (any fungal infection, local or spread out, is a source of inflammation for fat cells, lack of sleep, moodiness and a tendency to crave chocolate) • Increased risks of infection (which means eventual antibiotics and more candidosis) • Impaired communication between the brain and nervous system (increases risks of negativity, anxiety, depression, sweets cravings) To give you an example, consider the very common lactose intolerance.

The lack of lactase enzyme prevents the milk’s sugar, lactose, to be properly digested. Abdominal bloating and gas are the main symptoms of lactose intolerance.

But even if it is uncomfortable, this is not a real cause of weight gain

sugar cravings in response to a larger cortisol production.

any negative energy, have a hot bath with

Cortisol is the hormone that regulates the insulin, le level of sugar in the blood, the way the fat is located around the waist.

• 3 drops of Geranium (pelargonium asperum) EO and 2 drops of Juniperberry (juniperus communis) EO blended in a glass of milk. Poor the blend in the water and shake well before you enter the bath.

Wheat on the other hand contains a protein that triggers weight gain.

More stress means more cortisol, more insulin, more fat cells on the hips.

White or whole wheat…it still contains some amylopectine A.

So, what to do?

This protein not only becomes sugar in the blood, but also triggers a hormonal secretion that increases appetite and the number of fat cells in the abdomen.

By simply avoiding wheat you make it easier to control the fat in your body.

This is easy to change…

What is more complicated to avoid is your stress, and stress can make you fat.

Your body reaction to stress contributes to increase your body fat: chronic stress can increase your appetite, especially your

www.compressport.com

Holistic aromatherapy has a lot of answers for stress management.

HERE ARE SOME ANTI-STRESS ESSENTIAL OILS AND HOW TO USE THEM: Before a competition, at night or a few yours in advance, to dissolve your tension and increase your concentration • Blend 3 drops of Rosemary (rosmarinus officinal) EO and 2 drops of Vetiver (vetivera zizanoid) EO in a tablespoon of massage oil and massage the soft side of your arms, especially your wrists, with this oil.

After the competition, to dissolve

For a nice night of sleep • vaporize some Pine (pinus sylvestris) EO and May chang (litsea cubeba) EO in your bedroom.

Finally, if you are especially anxious • massage your solar plexus with two drops of Frankincense (boswellia thurifera) EO. Controlling your weight and being lean can depend on much more that simply exercising.

Remember, we are all different, so make sure you do what works for you, add your own touch, accept that sometimes a little extra help can change everything.

Essential oils can make a difference….

SPRINT TRIATHLON

IN SNÆFELLSNES

It is obvious which compression brand is by far the most popular one in the triathlete society in Iceland. About half of the competetors in the sprint triathlon were using R2 in various colors.

Ebba Særún Brynjarsdóttir took third and Steinn Jóhannsson took first in AG 40+ and 6th overall.

Close to 400 runners participated and Elísabet got second place in the women´s divison, 1st in AG and 19th overall.

Truly a great result for Team Compressport Iceland. The race is very popular among foreigners and about 1/3 of the runners came from abroad.

The Herbalife Half Iron Distance

The Icelandic Championship in Half Iron Distance took place recently. Due to cold tempurature of the sea, the swim takes place in a 10 lane 50 m pool.

The bike course is surrounded with lava just like in Hawaii and the run takes place in the town Hafnarfjörður. The weather condition can be a challenge and the this year the temperature was 12°C with some wind blowing from all directions on the bike course. As usual, Birna Björnsdóttir Team Compressport Iceland won the women´s division and was crowned the Icelandic champion in the distance. Birna broke the Icelandic record in the distance.

The Sunset Race at Ubaté, Colombia, is a 13 Km or 21 Km trail challenge in altitudes ranging between 2590 and 3150 meters above sea level. The catch: the race starts at sunset, so you better take a flashlight along…and some warm garments too. It can get pretty cold up in the mountains!
