Motorboat Racing - Personal Cooling Devices

Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:04:49 +0000

Even in China the CoolShirt personal Cooling system is being used for their Motorboat Race teams. Why? Because inside these specially designed Motorboats there is no room for air conditioning and adding them would just increase the weight of the boat and might cost the racers the win. The personal cooling devices actually increases your concentration and prevents Heat Stress/Heat Stroke.

Thus why is China leading the way and not other countries besides the USA? People tend to shy away at first from innovative technology.

And its all made to entertain you and your family.

So just imagine parading in 25C temperature in a 15 Kg or heavier costume for 30 minutes or more during a day. It gets hot & humid quite quickly in there plus the weight - Yes its a work-out on another level and a dangerous one if not taken care of.

Would YOU wear an Cooling Vest to burn 500 extra calories a day?

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 05:36:06 +0000

It cools the body, forcing it to generate more heat to stay warm
Professor Hayes claims it can burn 500 extra calories a day, or 1lb a week
That's the equivalent of a Big Mac or half a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream
This is because it activate's the body's brown or 'healthy fat' - found on the shoulders and back - which burns calories when cold

This is from an article of the Daily Mail (UK) January 2015. Link here

Losing weight without dieting or exercising is every slimmer’s dream come true.

Now, a Nasa scientist has developed an 'ice jacket' he claims allows people to burn 500 calories a day - the equivalent of a Big Mac, two Snickers bars or four slices of bacon.

The Cold Shoulder Jacket cools the body so it has to work harder to stay warm, burning more calories in the process.

Professor Wayne Hayes, of University of California and a visiting scientist at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, claims the jacket will burn 1lb of fat a week when worn for two hours a day.

In fact, it more than doubles the fat burning achieved from dieting alone, he says.

'It could be used for people trying to lose weight, or for damage control, offsetting a temporary binge such as over the holidays,' he told MailOnline

'My wife intends to use it for post-childbirth weight loss.'

The jacket is a waistcoat which drapes gel packs of ice over the shoulders and across the back.

It is kept in the freezer so it remains chilled - and should then be worn when a person is at a comfortable temperature and not exercising.

‘If you are sitting down at rest in a room (or your car, or whatever) that is at a comfortable temperature,’ Professor Hayes told MailOnline.

‘Then wearing The Cold Shoulder directly from the freezer, and with a shirt underneath, will extract heat from your body and cause you to burn extra calories in order to stay warm.’

The vest will not work if a person is in a hot environment, or if are exercising, as it will simply keep the user cool but not force their body to burn more calories to stay warm, he warned.

He claims the jacket isn't particularly uncomfortable to wear.

'The first time you wear it, yes, it'll feel cold,' he said.

'But you won’t shiver. After trying it a few times, you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing it.'

The comfort factor is the incentive for wearing the jacket and not turning off the heating, he said.

'If you turn off your heating in winter your whole body will be cold and you'll be uncomfortable. This way you won't be uncomfortable. It's a "cheat's way" of being cold,' he told MailOnline.

The jacket works using a phenomenon known as mild cold exposure, which Professor Hayes said has long been studied by scientists.

‘Any mild cold exposure causes your body to burn extra calories, whether it’s a cold day outside, air conditioning set too high, or your skin being in contact with a cold object,’ he said.

He added: ‘Scientists have been studying the effects of mild cold exposure for decades, and it’s a well documented fact that mild cold exposure induces calorie burn.'

The shoulders and back is the most comfortable place to put the ice because that’s where the body has the fewest nerve endings, he explained.

This area is also where most of the body’s brown fat, or brown adipose tissue is found.

Adults have a small amount of this brown or ‘good’ fat in this area.

This fat is different to the white fat, which is amassed from gorging on too many calories.

Brown fat is made of several fat droplets and large numbers of iron-containing mitochondria, which – along with blood vessels – is which is what gives the fat its brownish appearance.

It burns calories to generate heat, and burns calories when a person enters mild cold.

Therefore cooling the area of the body where brown fat is found – the back and shoulders – will force brown fat to burn more calories to generate heat, Professor Hayes said.

‘On the other hand, mild cold exposure is perfectly healthy, and has been studied by scientists for decades as a way to burn calories.’

His own clinical trials, of eight people, found wearing the Cold Shoulder vest twice a day for about an hour burns up to 500 calories more per day than a person would burn without it.

However, he warns the jacket is not a panacea to weight loss - it can simply aid fat burning for people who are reducing their calorie intake.

He said: 'The vest can burn up to 500 calories per day if used as directed, but you can easily nullify the effect by eating an extra 500 calories.

'So don't expect that you can continue to eat junk food, wear the vest, and lose weight. You can't.'

And while it might seem like an extreme way to lose weight, he argues it’s no more wacky than other methods.

He said: ‘Think of all the other crazy things people do in order to try to lose excess fat. Starving themselves?

‘Eating zero-calorie clay just to feel full, which carries a risk of arsenic poising? Exhausting themselves in the gym?

Ingesting questionable supplements that, if they work at all, have side effects like insomnia or over‐stimulation?

‘How about wearing a corset just to appear thinner? Drug injections? Liposuction? Freezing fat cells? Gastro‐intestinal surgery?’

He concluded: ‘Considering these options, wearing a cool, calorie-burning vest is pretty tame in comparison.’

The jacket costs $160 and will be available in sizes XS to XXXL.

Cold Thermogenesis - lose Weight, stay Healthy and get Results!

Thu, 26 Mar 2015 06:15:32 +0000

Cold thermogenesis — an exciting new field in health, fitness, and weight-loss. CT is the practice of strategically using cold stimulus to induce all manner of positive, beneficial changes to health, physiology, and body composition. Also called cold stress, cold therapy, and thermal loading.

Some of the proven benefits of cold thermogenesis:

boost metabolism upwards of 400%
burn calories and fat
help build muscle
increased insulin sensitivity
improved exercise recovery
boosted immune system
injury management
enhanced rest and relaxation
achieve deeper sleep
rebalance hormones, achieve primal health
cellular longevity

Hormone levelling - Cold thermogenesis can help restore optimal hormone levels!

Adiponectin increases fat burning, may raise RMR, increases mitochondrial number and efficiency, increases insulin sensitivity, reduces systemic inflammation, reduces cardiovascular inflammation, relaxes epithelial tissue, and kills certain types of cancer cells.

The Cool Fat Burner has been shown able to increase adiponectin by a whopping 62% in only 2 hours!

The body will efficiently use food and nutrients, burning them as heat, or using them to build muscle and tissue… instead of storing them as fat or worse — allowing for increased systemmic inflammation, which may lead to disease.

INCREASE ADIPONECTIN BY 62% !!!

Adiponectin is thought to be related to everything from increased fat burning and muscular improvements, to reducing systemic inflammation, to helping fight heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and even help fight certain types of cancer!!! ***

*Results may vary from person to person, the Cooling device and website is not meant to treat or cure any disease or disorder

Irisin causes the “browning” of regular white fat into “beige fat,” lowers myostatin levels, and lengthens telomeres.

Controlled cold exposure has been shown to raise thyroid hormone, subsequently causing an increased resting metabolism.

Enhanced insulin sensitivity, maximized exercise performance, and deeper sleep may all increase growth hormone levels… allowing for ideal body repair and rejuvenation.

Enhancing your Immune System - Cold thermogenesis radically enhances and strengthens the immune system.

Glutathione, T-killer cells, lymphocytes, & a variety of immune system functions are strengthened and enhanced as one becomes cold-adapted.

“I used to always be sick, all winter, every winter. Head colds, at least 2-3 chest colds, stomach flu, over and over, every single year.Once I started doing cold thermogenesis, that changed. I practically never get sick any more. Last record-breaking winter, I did daily sessions outside, wearing next to nothing, or even wearing the CFB.My immune system was so ramped up, colds couldn’t gain a foothold. It feels like it would be nearly impossible for me to get sick when I’m fully cold-adapted.”

NOTE: boosted immune system is a hormetic response; it’s something one should slowly induce over time, as one’s systems gradually grow stronger. Do not do too much, too soon.

Kayla Montgomery has MS but this does not Stop her from being the best! A truly Inspirational Story.

Sat, 21 Mar 2015 13:54:19 +0000

Kayla Montgomery from Salem, Winston is a young Athlete with a huge problem. She has Multiple Sclerosis (aka MS). She literally collapses after each race and cant feel her legs anymore and suffers from excruciating pain caused by the elevated body heat building up. Her Coach has to cover her in ice and cold water, after each run, to cool her down so that she can return back to normal.

However, this does not deter her one bit, Kayla is one of the best Runners in her State and she keeps going on!

What she like many other MS suffers go through is that, due to the damaged insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, the build up of Heat while she runs makes her lose the feeling in her legs. Many people with multiple sclerosis are sensitive to the heat, which often increases their symptoms.

This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. Thankfully, she has a very supportive and understanding family who allow her Coach to drive her confidence who provides her with a lot of mental and emotional support to keep pushing.

Many Scientific studies have shown that cooling the body helps lessen the negative effects of heat and improve the quality of life of MS patients.

Therefore, Cooling devices/vests are an essential item for such people with MS.

Even normal people who exercise can go on anymore when their body gets too hot, all this can be avoided by using the right Cooling Device during exercising!

Ask us which Personal Cooling Device is best for you. Drop us a message and we will advise and counsel you on the most economical and performance based system available.

Below is the short documentary about this extraordinary lady - Kayla Montgomery! A true inspiration to never give up Hope!

Cryotherapy or Mild Cooling Devices?

Sat, 07 Mar 2015 09:36:38 +0000

There is a big hype about the Cryotherapy Showers in the region now, making it the trendiest thing for anyone who want to shape up, loose some weight and feel younger. Yes, cryotherapy does that, but there are dangers involved as well which can actually do some harm to your skin or body, if done wrongly like with most therapies they need to be done by professionals.

Cryotherapy, also called Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC), is currently being offered by clinicians as an alternative to cold water immersion or ice packs. Administered through the use of a cryogenic chamber, WBC is a treatment whereby the patient is placed in a cryogenic chamber for a short duration (i.e. no more than three minutes, which is comparable to ice swimming), and if used properly, will not destroy tissue. Whole body cryotherapy originated in Japan in 1978. However, it was a group of Polish scientists who took the idea and made whole body cryotherapy the physical therapy it is today.

The chamber is cooled, typically with liquid nitrogen, usually to a temperature of −120 °C (−184 °F)—although temperatures of −140 °C (−220 °F) or even −160 °C (−256 °F) have been used. The patient is protected from acute frostbite with socks, gloves and mouth and ear protection, but in addition to that, wears nothing but a bathing suit. The patient spends a few minutes in the chamber. During treatment the average skin temperature drops to 12 °C (54 °F), while the coldest skin temperature can be 5 °C (41 °F). The core body temperature remains unchanged during the treatment, however it may drop slightly afterwards. Therapy triggers the release of endorphins which induce analgesia (immediate pain relief).

Patients report that the experience is invigorating and improves a variety of conditions such as psychological stress, insomnia, rheumatism, muscle and joint pain, fibromyalgia, itching, and psoriasis. The immediate effect of skin cooling and analgesia lasts for 5 minutes, but the release of endorphins can have a lasting effect, where the pains and signs of inflammation as found in blood tests remain suppressed for weeks.

So why would I use Personal Cooling devices or garments that give me a constant 14-15C Cooling, if I can go to the clinic and get Cryotherapy treatment instead?

Well first of all, Cryotherapy is a lot more expensive than getting your own Personal Cooling Vest (Phase Change cooling or Liquid Circulatory Cooling undergarment). You pay once for the Personal Cooling device to provide you mild cooling and be mobile at the same time or even exercise at the same time! Cryotherapy cant offer that. Also consider this, for those who like the Cryotherapy Chambers, if you don't wear your socks, gloves, swimsuite or protective ear & face gear you can get FROSTBITE!!! That is a terrible risk to take for just 5 minutes!

Also Mild Cooling with Personal Cooling Devices/undergarments is done over a longer period of time and thus the effects last much longer and are the same.

Did I mention that personal cooling devices/products are 100% mobile, meaning that you are not constraint to a small cold chamber wearing gloves and thick socks. Its cheaper, mobile, environmentally friendly and you can use it whenever you like and not have to wait until the cryotherapy shop opens.

Why Environmentally friendly? Well think about the amount of energy required to use a cryotherapy chamber compared to a cooling vest/undergarment.

Thus everyone is left to decide for themselves what they think is the most advantageous for them. However if you need to maintain your well being, weight loss, performance, rejuvenating effects and save big bucks, then you should definitely consider getting in touch with the right people who sell the best Personal Cooling system for your needs and daily routine.

Just keep it real and stay safe.
