Description

Specification

瘦 Personal health band and its use Technical field

The present invention relates to a body health band suitable for reducing subcutaneous fat and suppressing adhesion of subcutaneous fat, particularly a body health band suitable for reducing subcutaneous fat and suppressing fat adhesion around the abdomen, flanks, and waist. And how to use it

Background art

In recent years, the removal of subcutaneous fat and the suppression of adhesion have become common demands of young and old men, not only in terms of health, but also in terms of improving and maintaining style, especially with the increase in aesthetic consciousness.

As diet types, dietary restrictions, exercise, beauty gymnastics, and esthetics are common.

Dieting with dietary restriction generally involves the order of muscle loss and then fat loss, so reducing subcutaneous fat requires significant time and hunger efforts. And, after achieving their goals, their muscles are lost, so they can't burn calories even with a relatively small amount of food, causing so-called rebound.

Exercise diet is effective in preventing rebound because muscle strength does not decrease, but it also requires time and great effort to reduce subcutaneous fat (especially abdomen and waist circumference).

Dieting with esthetics has problems that are time-consuming and expensive, and it is especially difficult for middle-aged and older men who are older to go to esthetics. There are conditions.

Above all, in the slimming belt described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-2343477 (WO98Z5767), subcutaneous fat in the abdomen is subcutaneously sandwiched between a number of adjacent ridges. Fat is being dissipated, and the body effect is increasing. However, in this body belt, it can be assumed that the portion of the subcutaneous fat sandwiched between many adjacent ridges does not have sufficient compression force. For this reason, in order to increase the body effect in a short period of time, the emergence of a body belt that exerts a more effective compression action or rubbing action is expected.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to relatively easily and effectively reduce subcutaneous fat and suppress adhesion, to perform walking, golf, jogging, play, and daily use. An object of the present invention is to provide a personal health band and a method of using the same, which can provide a synergistic effect when used in combination with light exercise, sports or work-related exercise, or stretch exercise. In particular, these exercises strengthen muscles, stimulate the sympathetic nerves with compression, and metabolize and degrade fatty acids (approximately 90% in terms of energy) decomposed by noradrenaline by the muscles that have been enhanced. Reduce. In addition, when worn on the abdomen, the fat layer is sandwiched between the upper and lower parts in the center, so unlike the method applied directly to the center of the abdomen, it is lightweight and helps to fit the body easily, reducing discomfort due to wearing Is done. Disclosure of the invention

Since then, obesity, which causes lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, refers to abnormal accumulation of fat in lipoprotective cells. Above all, subcutaneous in the abdomen In order to reduce fat, it is necessary to break down abnormal fat components in fat cells into fatty acids and glycerol. This fatty acid (approximately 90% in terms of energy) and glycerol are broken down by a hormone called noradrenaline secreted from sympathetic nerve terminals distributed along blood vessels, and glycerol is metabolized in the liver. Fatty acids are eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water in muscle.

For this reason, in the present invention, in order to reduce subcutaneous fat in the abdomen, it is important to decompose fats and fatty acids, so that the subcutaneous fat layer around the abdomen is not moved to other areas, and the middle abdomen is compressed. By doing so, the principle of stimulating the sympathetic nerve and promoting the secretion of noradrenaline was applied.

The fatty acids generated by the lipolytic action of norepinephrine are converted to carbon dioxide by muscles strengthened by walking, golfing, jogging, playing, easy daily exercise, sports and work-related exercise, or stretching exercise. Decomposed into carbon and water and emitted to the outside. In other words, the decomposition of fats and fatty acids is promoted, and the subcutaneous fat layer in the abdomen is reduced.

The present invention is based on this principle. A health band for slimming is worn on the abdomen, and the skin with subcutaneous fat (or the skin that suppresses the adhesion of subcutaneous fat) (up and down, left and right, front and rear, Press the surrounding area) with the upper and lower pads. Perform daily activities or exercise in this state. Movements such as up, down, left, right, and torsion that originally occurred over a wide area of the skin due to body movements are concentrated in the mid-abdomen sandwiched between the upper and lower pads. In other words, in the mid-abdomen between the upper and lower pads, the body moves more actively than usual due to the movement of the body. In addition, when the upper and lower pads are moved by the movement of the body, the fat layer of the mid-abdomen sandwiched between the upper and lower pads is effectively pressed or rubbed and extracted. Act like

In this way, the mid-abdomen, which is sandwiched between the upper and lower pads, moves more actively than usual due to the movement of the body, and stimulates the sympathetic nerves due to compression, etc., and secretes noradrenaline more. Promotes and is broken down into fatty acids. With exercise, the reduction of subcutaneous fat (or the suppression of subcutaneous fat adhesion) is effectively performed through the breakdown of fatty acids in muscles. In other words, by wearing a body health band on the abdomen and performing daily activities such as walking, or by exercising, the reduction of subcutaneous fat (or suppression of subcutaneous fat adhesion) is effectively performed. However, it is possible to easily reduce the subcutaneous fat (or to suppress the adhesion of the subcutaneous fat) more easily than the conventional diet means.

In particular, the use of the health band for slimming according to the present invention in combination with walking, golfing, jogging, playing, daily easy exercise, sports and work-related exercise, or stretching exercise, etc., enables the decomposition of fatty acids. The source muscle is strengthened and a synergistic reduction effect of the subcutaneous fat layer is obtained. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The body health band according to the first embodiment is used for assisting forced combustion of subcutaneous fat on the abdomen, flank and hip. The following is an example that is suitable for use, particularly for those who have abundant subcutaneous fat. In this embodiment, the body health band presses the skin with subcutaneous fat, or both sides of the skin that suppresses the adhesion of subcutaneous fat, by a skin pressing part that regulates the movement of the skin. An upper health device 1 is mounted on the upper side of the body, and a lower health device 2 is mounted on the lower side of the abdomen.

The upper health device 1 is a belt-shaped device provided with an upper skin compression portion 1A that presses the upper side of the abdomen and suppresses the movement of the upper skin of the abdomen and waist. It exerts moderate pressure and acts to suppress the movement of the skin above the abdomen and lower back. This implementation In the example, the entire belt-shaped upper health device 1 acts as the upper skin compression portion 1A, and the wide portion above the abdomen suppresses the movement of the extravagant meat above the abdomen, and the other width. The narrow part of the upper part suppresses the movement of the luxurious meat on the flank and upper side of the back.

The lower health device 2 is basically the same as the upper health device 1 and includes a lower skin compression portion 2A that presses the lower side of the abdomen and suppresses movement of the skin under the abdomen and lower back. It is a belt-like material that acts to compress the lower part of the abdomen moderately by elastic means such as rubber, thereby suppressing the movement of the skin under the abdomen and waist. Note that, in this embodiment, the entire belt-shaped lower health device 2 acts as the lower skin compression portion 2A, and the wide portion above the abdomen suppresses the movement of the thick meat below the abdomen. However, other narrow portions restrict the movement of extravagant meat on the flanks and lower back.

The upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 shown in this embodiment are as shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 are provided in a belt shape by cutting out a rubber plate having a thickness of several millimeters. The upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 made of rubber are provided with a buckle or a velcro (not shown) at the end, and the upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 are properly tightened to the body. It can be installed while keeping it.

Reference numeral 3 shown in FIG. 2 is a through hole formed to reduce stuffiness. The upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 may be attached directly to the body, but the upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 are used to prevent inflammation and sweat rash caused by misalignment of the upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2. A cloth or the like may be wrapped around the lower health device 2 or mounted on underwear or the like. In the above configuration, as shown in Fig. 1, upper health device 1 and lower health device 2 are attached to the upper and lower parts of the abdomen to carry out daily living in this prone state, or to exercise moderately (particularly in the case of bending the hips). Stretching, twisting, etc. are effective).

Movements such as up, down, left, right, and torsion that originally occurred in a wide area of the stomach and waist due to body movements are concentrated in the area between the upper skin compression section 1A and the lower skin compression section 2A. (See arrow in Figure 1). In other words, the abdomen, flank, and back between the upper skin compression part 1A and the lower skin compression part 2A move more actively than usual due to body movement. In addition, the movement of the body compresses the skin compressing portion, thereby acting to rub the body part sandwiched between the upper skin compressing portion 1A and the lower skin compressing portion 2A.

As described above, the portion sandwiched between the upper skin compression part 1A and the lower skin compression part 2A moves more actively than usual due to the movement of the body, and the upper skin compression part 1A and the lower skin compression part The kneading action of the 2A movement stimulates the secretion of noradrenaline from the sympathetic nerve, breaks down the fatty acids produced in the muscles, and effectively reduces subcutaneous fat.

In addition, the hardness, expansion and contraction rate, etc. of the personal health band may be changed according to the use condition. For example, if the subcutaneous fat protection on the abdomen or the like is hard, wear a soft (high elasticity) body health band, and if the subcutaneous fat becomes softer, harden (low elasticity). It is advisable to wear a personal health band. As a specific example, in the early stage of use, wear a soft material with a high elasticity ratio created with an upper and lower rubber thickness of about 3 mm and when the subcutaneous fat becomes softer (for example, one month after use) ) The lower side is approximately the thickness of the harder rubber with a small expansion rate If the subcutaneous fat becomes softer (for example, two months after use) after changing to the one made with 4 mm or 5 mm and the subcutaneous fat becomes softer, the elasticity on the upper side is made with a rubber thickness of about 4 mm or 5 mm. It is better to change to a harder one with a smaller size. This is an example of a means of reducing the discomfort in the initial use and reducing the burden on the internal organs. . [Effects of the first embodiment]

As shown above, the upper health device 1 and the lower health device 2 can be worn on the body for walking, jogging, golfing, playing, daily easy exercise, sports or work-related exercise, or exercise. By performing retching exercises, etc., stimulation of the abdomen stimulates the secretion of noradrenaline from the sympathetic nerves. Since the reduction is performed effectively, it is possible to easily reduce the subcutaneous fat in the abdomen, the flank, etc., as compared with the conventional diet means.

(Second to fifth embodiments)

5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the body health band 10 according to the second embodiment, a non-stretchable, semi-moon-shaped upper pad 13 applied to the upper abdominal region 12 of the body 11 is formed of a woven cloth or the like. At the left and right ends of the upper pad 13, an elastic upper ribbon band formed of an elastic material such as rubber is wound around an upper region behind a waist 14, connected to each other by a buckle 15, and formed of an elastic material such as rubber. 16 and 16 are connected. Further, a non-stretchable, semi-moon-shaped lower pad 18 corresponding to the lower abdominal region 17 of the body 11 is formed of a woven cloth or the like. The lower pad 18 has a lower area behind the waist 14 on both left and right ends. A stretchable lower ribbon band 20 formed by an elastic body such as rubber is provided, which is wound around the region and interconnected by a buckle 19. The area of the upper pad 13 is set to be substantially the same as the area of the lower pad 18, and the width (W 1) of the upper ribbon band 16 is set to the width of the lower ribbon band 20. It is larger than the dimension (W2).

When the body health band 10 is worn on the abdomen, it is sandwiched between the upper pad 13 and the lower pad 18, and the upper abdominal region 12 centering on the navel 21 and the lower abdomen The subcutaneous fat layer 24 surrounded by the area 17, the left abdomen 22, and the right abdomen 23 is pressed so as to entirely and integrally extract the outside with the movement of the body 11.

In this way, the upper pad 13 and the lower pad 18 applied to the abdomen are formed of a non-elastic material, and the upper ribbon bands 16 and 16 and the lower ribbon bands 20 and 20 are connected by the waist. Is made of an elastic material (for example, a rubber member), so that the abdomen is effectively compressed as the body 11 moves.

This compression stimulates the sympathetic nerves and stimulates the secretion of noradrenaline. The fatty acids produced by the fat-degrading action of noruadrenaline produce muscles that have been strengthened by walking, golfing, jogging, playing, daily easy exercise, interlocking with sporting work, or stretching. Decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and discharged to the outside. In other words, the decomposition of fat and fatty acid is promoted, and the subcutaneous fat layer 24 in the abdomen is effectively reduced.

Therefore, by using the body health band 10 together with stretching exercise, the muscles that are the source of fatty acid decomposition are strengthened, and a synergistic reduction effect of the subcutaneous fat layer 24 is obtained. FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.

The difference between the present embodiment and the second embodiment is that in the body health band 25 according to the present embodiment, the upper pad 26 and the upper ribbon band 28 are integrally formed in a belt shape, and the lower band 26 is formed integrally.

Statements under Article 19 of the Convention Claim 3 adds all of the components described in paragraphs 4 and 10 and, as clearly shown in Figure 9 of the present application, The shape of the contact part 32 and the upper and lower pads 33, 34 are rectangular, and it has been clarified that the length dimensions of the upper and lower pads 33, 34 are almost the same. This makes it easy to mold and, when not in use, compactly foldable and easy to store.

In addition, since the upper and lower pads 33, 34 have almost the same length, the tightening force applied to the middle and lower abdomen is adjusted according to these parts.

In addition, a new claim has been added as claim 13. In this new item 13, a single or multiple oblong holes 35 are formed in the contact part 32 as shown in Figs. 10 and 11 of the present application. This has the effect of reducing the elastic force of the contact part 32 and making it easier to expand and contract.
