The more I research and use the Power Plate personally the more impressed I become with what it has to offer.
Power Plate Training Results include:
- Increased bone mineral density which is a viable solution to reverse bone loss and to eliminate osteoporosis
- Neuromuscular stimulation and enhancement – muscles get stimulated in ways that traditional aerobic/cardio and weight lifting programs can not
- Pain reduction due to the dramatic increase in critical blood flow to muscles and joints throughout the body – enhanced blood circulation
- Improved flexibility, range of motion, balance and equilibrium
- Increased metabolic rate (critical to weight loss)
- Elevated HGH (human growth hormone), collagen (needed for healthy skin) and serotonin production (feel good hormone), while suppressing cortisol (hormone produced by stress)
While cortisol is an important and helpful part of the body’s response to stress, it’s important that the body’s relaxation response be activated so the body’s functions can return to normal. Unfortunately, in our current high-stress culture, the body’s stress response is activated too often, producing excess cortisol and a state of chronic stress. Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
- Impaired cognitive performance
- Suppressed thyroid function
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Decreased bone density
- Decrease in muscle tissue
- Higher blood pressure
- Lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the body, as well as other health consequences
- Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat is heart attacks, strokes, higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems!
By stepping on the Power Plate you are literally changing your blood chemistry profile, your state of stress, and the course of your day. To me, that is an amazing benefit worthy of keeping your appointments. I use it everyday. With benefits like these, why wouldn’t I take advantage of what it can do for me personally? As a member of this cutting edge healthcare facility, I strongly urge you to do the same.
The Power Plate is not like a “magic” pill, potion, or lotion… it has real benefits, and no side effects! I prescribe it because you need it, and deserve it.
