Essential oils to help with physical exercise and recovery
Let's talk about oils with warming and cooling properties. For example, before any exercise or physical activity, you can apply the Deep Blue blend diluted properly or even the DeepBlue Rub ointment to your muscles before and after exercise, thus bringing that calm and muscle relaxation.
Another very good oil to use is Aromatouch, which will also help a lot with the circulatory system. I highly recommend using it as well.
There are other very good oils that I can recommend that have uplifting, energizing, invigorating and motivating properties. I will be mentioning some of them and you should definitely have them with you.
They are Bergamot, Cassia, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Grapefruit Helichrysum, Lemon, Lime, Myrrh, Peppermint, Hawaiian Sandalwood, Siberian Fir, Spearmint, Tangerine and Wild Orange. These are oils that will give you energy and invigorate you, thus stimulating the practice of exercise. Oils with calming and relaxing properties also have the function of making our body more resilient. They are great for helping you promote that feeling of freedom and strength during your workout. These oils are Cardamom, Douglas-Fir, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Melaleuca and Peppermint. They are the oils that are allies for your well-being routine.
Physical support with essential oils for weight control
I will mention the main ones. So let’s start talking about Grapefruit:
Grapefruit is extremely effective in supporting the breakdown of fat cells, thus reducing body fat. Do you know that volume that fat has? It will act as a sponge for these fats that have been accumulating and consequently our volume will decrease. It is an oil rich in D-limonene, thus supporting the metabolism. It also elevates the mood, minimizes the desire to eat sweets, helping with binge eating, being a perfect ally in healthy weight loss. It can be combined with Patchouli, which worked very well for me. When used topically, it will act as a lymphatic diuretic stimulant that will help burn fat and lose weight. For those unwanted localized fats, massage it. You can also combine it with Cypress, which is excellent for diuretics and circulation. Using it with oil or cream will help break down localized fat.
You can add a few drops to water and drink it throughout the day to eliminate anxiety and cravings for sweets and food. You can take it at times when you are hungry, when it will satisfy and calm that craving. It is also widely used in massages on the chest and wrists, and inhaling deeply will bring comfort to calm your anxiety and desire to eat.
Sublingual use can be done with just one drop, so be careful. And like all citrus oils, sun exposure should be avoided for a period of 12 hours, in case of topical use.
Lemon
This oil is a true natural astringent that promotes the breakdown of fat cells, reducing body fat. It is also rich in D-limonene, which is excellent for cleansing the lymphatic glands, supporting metabolism and also contributing to weight loss.
It improves digestive health, thus helping the body to function and also balancing the body's pH. It has a high content of monoterpenes that help detoxify and reduce swelling in the body. It has a purifying effect.
Lemon will improve concentration and focus, stimulating self-confidence. It is highly recommended for use in a diffuser. I love the combination with Peppermint in the diffuser for focus and to energize or use in water 2 to 3 times a day to support metabolism and also help you lose weight.
Cinnamon Bark
Cinnamon is one of the most effective oils for weight loss and for supporting weight loss and control.
This oil will help with healthy digestion, as it is rich and has many nutrients and stimulating properties. There are several studies that prove its effects on regulating blood glucose levels, as well as the GTF, which is the glucose tolerance factor, which is excellent for anyone with diabetes.
For those with diabetes, it is good because it will promote blood sugar balance and will also help with weight loss, because by controlling blood sugar fluctuations we will reduce the desire to eat sugar and consequently reduce weight gain. So don't forget to include cinnamon in your routine.
Ginger
This oil has a pleasant aroma and I really like it. It is a great support for inflammatory issues that occur in the body and a great support for weight loss.
When losing weight, it will help reduce the desire for sugar and the levels of inflammation in the body will decrease. It is an extremely powerful oil. It is composed of gingerols that are responsible for improving the absorption of vitamins and minerals that we have. And with this, we will increase the flow of cellular energy and consequently have a greater burning of fat. The benefits of ginger are incredible.
Peppermint
This oil will give you a boost of energy and will improve your performance when practicing physical exercise. So it stimulates the body and mind and there it will also clear the airways, giving us energy that will also improve our performance in physical activity. It is a true pre-workout, because using it this way will allow you to open the airways and consequently give you more energy and focus.
Peppermint is super invigorating, helping with depression, encouraging and helping people rediscover the joy of being alive. Another property it has, menthol, is that it takes away heat from the body. So if you exercise and feel very hot, apply it to the back of your neck and shoulders and you will love the refreshing sensation it will give you.
Meta PWR
A mix of essential oils that help increase your metabolism, helping with weight loss and reducing appetite. It was created especially to promote this increase in metabolism for you to use when you work out or even in your daily routine.
It will promote the breakdown of sugar and fat, regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation and improve nutrient absorption. It is a detoxifier, stimulant and energizer, but it is faster. Yes, it is stimulating and energizing. It is an oil and it seems to speed things up, it gives you that feeling of being faster. So for people who are more sensitive to caffeine or substances that accelerate at night and consequently disrupt sleep, I do not recommend using it in the late afternoon. I recommend using it earlier, like in the morning. So get to know your body and how it reacts and, if possible, make the necessary changes.
Meta Power will help with weight loss and appetite reduction. It has the essential oils that I already mentioned, so it is this Blend with all the oils: Peppermint, Cinnamon, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lemon.
Additional oils/ products to further aid weight loss:
Digestzen will provide wonderful support for both the digestive and intestinal tract. DDR Prime will help with endocrine support and aids in a healthy metabolism. These are two oils that I take daily. And finally, the supplements with dōTerra vitamins that will help your immune system stay healthy.
Trim Shake/ Protein Shake, after many studies, was developed to aid in the weight loss process and can be used to replace up to two meals. You can use it without worrying that you won't lose the micro and macro nutrients necessary for our body. It has a complex of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for a meal.
It can be used in two ways, which is to maintain a healthy weight, to compensate when you overeat a meal, it is a convenient way to eat less fat and calories, thus maintaining the levels of protein and carbohydrates that your body needs.
