An active lifestyle is crucial to attaining and maintaining wellness,
but 90% of people are not pursuing any extra physical activity.

This revolutionary product makes it very convenient and effortless for individuals to pursue personal wellness. A simple, low-tech product that helps us lose inches and weight, reduce our risk of hip fracture due to osteoporosis, reduce our risk of coronary heart disease as well as lower our blood pressure and cholesterol. It can also instantly remove chronic back pain in almost all cases.

These achievements represent remarkable improvements in quality of life. It is a perfect “wellness” product.

It is a line of weighted designer belts. Basically it is a weighted article of clothing. When you are wearing it, no one looking at you knows that you have something special on. This product lets a person “wear” from 5 to 14 pounds of weight. It forces your leg and trunk muscles to exert more while you do your normal everyday activities such as standing and walking and stairs. It corrects your posture - like we all do when we think we are being watched - which removes chronic back conditions for nearly everyone! Health Canada has assigned a Class 1 Medical Device License to this product for some very common physiological conditions.

With this unique product, “wellness” becomes an easy lifestyle choice. You simply use this product instead of an ordinary belt. Just put it on when getting dressed each morning, do your normal day’s activities, then take it off at bedtime. Actually, many wear it to bed to eliminate back pain so they can sleep! You will automatically accumulate significant benefits as each day goes by. Everyone wearing this product should notice an improvement in leg and trunk muscle tone, strength and endurance as well as improved stability. They should also experience more energy, as well as less tension, stress and fatigue. If s/he is overweight, there should be noticeable loss of inches of body fat as well. It’s the world’s easiest slim and trim program! One you can actually stick to! Overweight individuals can lose fat inches and underweight individuals can gain muscle weight from the same product!

By making the simple decision to replace your ordinary belt with a Wellness Belt™, you can make a big difference in your life. The cool part is that you don’t even notice the product’s weight while wearing it. Plus, it is so beautiful men and women can wear it to any social situation.

Too busy to go to the gym? Not fond of working out? Are dietary weight loss plans or exercise equipment too expensive? All of these objections are things of the past with the Wellness Belt. Now you can obtain significant amounts of healthy weight-bearing exercise and the benefits – and more - without any investment of your valuable time.

Loss of Body Fat, but Not Muscle

Unlike dietary weight loss methods that result in loss of pounds by losing fat and muscle which worsens physical fitness, the Wellness Belt helps cause loss of body fat by building up muscle, burning fat for fuel, and improving physical fitness. So we are encouraging loss of inches rather than pounds as a healthier goal. Want to fit into that new dress or fit into those old clothes?

Posture Correction and Chronic Back Pain

The product also corrects pelvic tilt which helps eliminate chronic back pain and menstrual cramping by forcing proper posture and eliminating slouching. The overwhelming majority of chronic back pain sufferers who have tried this product report immediate total elimination of their pain!

Plus, we simply look more attractive when we are standing erect. Most of the belt’s weight is towards the rear of the wearer, which lifts up the front of the pelvis, straightening the spine. This actually relieves or eliminates chronic back pain for many people. Many report reduced migraines and headaches. Rarely does this device irritate the back.

Improves Physical Conditioning

People who use this product will experience better stamina and general fitness overall, along with extra energy and reduced stress, tension, and fatigue.

Every step is a partial leg press. A typical individual doing 5,000 to 10,000 steps per day is actually performing that many partial leg presses with the extra external weight loading the leg and trunk muscles. The longer the belt is worn, the more one’s level of physical conditioning will improve, because one is performing more sustained weight-bearing exercise. The beauty of this approach is that sustained, low-level work is being performed over a long time, and rarely, if ever will a person experience exhaustion. This is unlike a workout at the gym, which is comprised of short bursts of heavy activity. A person wearing a Wellness Belt for only 4 hours a day while on their feet will actually perform more of a workout over a week than if s/he went to the gym three times that week and performed leg presses for 30 minutes each time! Try doing leg presses for 30 minutes at a gym, if you can!

Reduce Your Risk of Osteoporosis, Osteopenia and Hip Fracture

Many studies have shown that weight-bearing exercise helps increase bone calcium by pulling on and compressing the bones. It is currently considered to be the most effective method available to increase bone mineral density, and there are no negative medical side effects as it is perfectly natural. The Wellness Belt exists as a result of several studies by Dr. Christine Snow at the University of Oregon showing increased BMD for all ages by simply wearing external weights.

To use this belt, you simply put it on and forget about it. So, whenever you are standing, the extra weight is causing increased downward pressure on the bones in the legs. The bones strengthen in response to the constant load of the weighted belt (Wolff’s Law).

First of all, stronger leg bones means less likelihood of hip fracture. The weighted belt causes sustained, increased compressive forces to be placed on the femurs whenever the wearer is standing, walking, or running. The pressure is transmitted through the head and neck of the femur and the normal physiological response of the body is to increase bone density – at the exact anatomical location of primary risk of fracture due to the decreased bone density of osteoporosis – the hip. One of the effects of wearing the Belt is to strengthen that location, thus reducing the risk of hip fracture. A person on their feet for 4 hours a day while wearing a Wellness Belt is heavier, strengthening the necks of their femurs for over 120 hours a month! This is a significant amount of extra compressive forces for bone building.

A Stylish Fashion Accessory

This product is so attractive that one can wear it in every normal work and social situation. The Wellness Belt actually holds up one’s pants, shorts or skirt. It could be worn, for example, to work, going for a walk, doing housework, gardening and yard work, shopping or during sporting and fitness activities. People are wearing them with jeans shorts, business suits, dresses and even tuxedos.

Most people can start wearing the Wellness Belt full time but there may be certain people who must start slowly. They can choose to start wearing the belt for a short time each day and slowly increase the hours worn. This allows usage to be “ramped up” at a comfortable rate. If knee or foot pain ensues, just reduce the time worn until the discomfort stops. Then try to “ramp up” again, but at a slower pace. This allows anyone to tailor the effects that this device puts on one’s own body to what their body can tolerate. That means that one can increase one’s health at one’s personal best achievable rate. It also allows maximum physical conditioning to be achieved.

For individuals with desk jobs, it is vital to make best use of the little time spent on their feet. These people are able to make efficient use of their weight bearing time by simply wearing the belt to work. Whenever they rise from their seat, the Wellness Belt’s effects on their body begin. Simply “working” the body may reduce the rate at which bodily degeneration takes place during rising, walking, and seating again, as a result of the extra weight and resistance provided by the belt.

What we’ve covered is an extensive list of health benefits, especially for such a simple device, but that’s still not all it does.

Reduce Risk of Heart Attack

Typical activity levels should help most belt wearers’ hearts to generate increased oxygen carrying capacity to be able to meet the increased demands of those leg and trunk muscles. Therefore their cardiovascular systems will adapt to the new level of demand by strengthening so that the new, higher level of activity becomes normal for them.

The greater muscle usage puts increased demand on the heart and forces it to work harder. This sustained gentle workout results in several benefits to the heart and circulation. As we gradually extend the number of hours worn, our heart condition improves and our risk of heart attack actually lowers. Strong hearts are less likely to develop heart disease.

As an additional side benefit of the extra heart and muscle conditioning and fat loss, blood pressure should reduce or normalize in many people with hypertension.

Weight-bearing exercise is also known to lower blood cholesterol. To muscles, blood cholesterol is like “room service” for fuel. The cholesterol is located in the blood vessels adjacent to the muscles. Muscles will burn that readily available cholesterol, and then the body will mobilize fat for more fuel.
Every young lady so far has reported total relief from menstrual cramping within a few minutes of putting on the belt. This allows them to perform their physically demanding jobs. Discomfort often prevents them from performing their normal daily activities.

The extra energy demanded by the muscles pulls more glucose out of the bloodstream. This may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

One study has strongly suggested that weight-bearing exercise be used as an “effective, safe and feasible antidepressant” in females age 40 and over.

We recommend against usage during pregnancy, however we do recommend that new moms use this product to help slim back down to where they used to be.

Risks

If a person is concerned that they may already have severe advanced osteoporosis, adding weight might actually be too much for their existing bone density. That person should check with their medical doctor to determine if they are at risk. The person in danger of fracture by adding 6 to 12 pounds will make up an extremely small portion of the population, however we believe that it would be wise to seek a medical opinion if in doubt. Many who are on medication for osteoporosis may be delighted to find that the belt’s extra weight will actually enhance the medication’s effect. There is no reason to suspect that the belt’s added weight might interfere with the medication.

These benefits alone make the Wellness Belt a product most people should seriously consider using well before they begin to lose bone density. According to Dr. Snow’s research, anyone from about age 8 and older can benefit by “banking up” BMD during the younger years. They may begin to lose bone mass in later life, but they will have more bone to lose. This means that they will stand a reduced likelihood of ever suffering from a hip fracture.

Additionally, the stronger muscles help with gait stability, and reduced likelihood of falling and breaking a hip. This means that people are protected from hip fracture both ways – from osteoporosis and from leg muscle weakness.

Knee Pain

Want to be able to ambulate and enjoy your later years? Wear a Wellness Belt every day to strengthen your leg muscles and knees. You shouldn’t need a cane, walker or scooter! For people who have lost the ability to walk, obviously this product will not provide any benefit. However, many people using canes and walkers have used this product for a brief time before discarding their assistance devices because of their resulting improved gait stability.

We have used this product to assist in post-operative rehab for hip and knee replacement to shorten the time needed to strengthen the muscles of the legs and hips and get patients up and around more quickly.

Many people experience knee pain and arthritis as a direct result of weakness of the muscles of the thigh and calf. This weakness allows undesirable knee slack and can allow the knee joint to move beyond its normal limits, disrupting the tissues of the joint. The proper approach for this problem is muscle strengthening. The added weight of the Wellness Belt makes your leg muscles work harder very step you take. Automatically it helps strengthen and stabilize your knees. Many people have reported complete elimination of knee pain just by using this product.

In an age where many are looking for “high tech” medical solutions to continue to be the trend, many others are seeking wellness alternatives. The line of Wellness Belt products is “low tech” and fashionable, capable of enhancing the quality of life for millions. On this high-tech background, it may seem improbable that a simple, low-tech solution would claim to have superior potential to impact the health, fitness and wellness of our population on several fronts. The Wellness Belt is indeed such a product.

If this device becomes widely used by the general public, the savings in health care costs could be huge. It offers almost every one of us a chance to regain some control over our personal health condition.

Wellness is about preventing health issues and being the healthiest we can be. Really, it is quite simple – we need clean, nutritious food, clean water, clean air, and a moderate amount of exercise. Most people in our culture today do not get enough weight bearing exercise. The Wellness Belt can help us increase our exercise levels significantly and conveniently.
