Improvement of Glucose Metabolism

Glucose metabolism is the process of converting glucose into energy. The far-infrared rays emitted by the CircuFit™ bracelet play a key role in optimizing this process, promoting efficient glucose absorption by cells. This ensures that excess glucose is effectively utilized rather than remaining in the bloodstream, helping to maintain balanced blood glucose levels.

Stabilization of Postprandial Glucose Levels

By increasing blood circulation and improving cellular sensitivity to insulin, the CircuFit™ bracelet is effective in stabilizing blood glucose levels after meals. This means there is less risk of a rapid blood glucose spike after a meal and reduces the risk of complications from erratic blood sugar fluctuations.

Balances blood glucose levels

Stimulates glucose metabolism

Promotes blood circulation

Improves lymphatic circulation

Natural and healthy weight loss without rebound effect

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Relieves pain and swelling

Clinically proven safety and effectiveness by medical research centers

Developed and manufactured in a Health Canada certified laboratory

The Dangers of Fat Accumulation

Excessive fat accumulation, especially abdominal and visceral fat, can lead to a range of health problems and increase the risk of developing various chronic diseases. Here are some common conditions related to fat accumulation:

Cardiovascular Diseases

High Blood Pressure: The accumulation of fat, particularly abdominal fat, increases the load on the heart, leading to elevated blood pressure. Chronic hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease and strokes.

Coronary Artery Disease: An excess of fat, especially visceral fat, can lead to atherosclerosis (thickening and narrowing of the blood vessel walls), causing heart disease and other cardiovascular problems.

Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes: Fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal area, leads to insulin resistance, where the body’s cells no longer respond effectively to insulin, triggering type 2 diabetes. Obesity is one of the primary risk factors for diabetes.

High Cholesterol

Fat accumulation, particularly an increase in "bad" cholesterol (LDL), can raise cholesterol levels in the blood, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis.

Fatty Liver Disease

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Excessive fat accumulation, particularly visceral fat, can lead to fat build-up in the liver, causing fatty liver disease. This can lead to liver inflammation, cirrhosis, and even liver failure.

Sleep Apnea

Fat accumulation can lead to narrowing of the airways, increasing the risk of obstructive sleep apnea. This condition is characterized by repeated breathing pauses during sleep and can result in daytime sleepiness, memory problems, and heart issues.

Collagen Loss and Skin Aging

Loose Skin and Wrinkles: Excessive fat accumulation can alter the body’s shape and skin structure, leading to a loss of skin elasticity, sagging, and wrinkles.

Joint Diseases

Arthritis: Obesity increases pressure on the knees, hips, and back, leading to joint wear and tear, potentially causing arthritis and other joint diseases.

Certain Cancers

Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Endometrial Cancer: Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer. Fat accumulation can affect hormone levels, influencing tumor growth.

Gallstones

Excess cholesterol and fat accumulation in the gallbladder can lead to the formation of gallstones. Obesity and fat accumulation are significant risk factors for gallstones.

Mental Health Issues

Depression and Anxiety: Obesity and fat accumulation can affect mental health, leading to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other emotional disorders.

Hormonal Imbalance

Excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat, can cause hormonal imbalances, such as increased cortisol (the stress hormone) and estrogen levels, which can affect metabolism, immunity, and reproductive functions.

Overview of Lymphedema

Lymphedema is a condition characterized by swelling caused by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in localized tissues, usually due to a blockage in lymphatic flow. Lymphedema can affect any part of the body, but it is most commonly seen in the arms, legs, or face. Its causes can be classified into two categories: primary lymphedema and secondary lymphedema.

Primary Lymphedema (Congenital)
Primary lymphedema is typically caused by abnormalities in the development of the lymphatic system, which are often hereditary. Possible causes include:
✅ Genetic defects: Some individuals are born with underdeveloped lymphatic vessels, leading to a blockage in the return of lymphatic fluid. This type of lymphedema may appear at birth or during adolescence.
✅ Distichiasis lymphedema: This is a rare genetic disorder where lymphatic dysplasia is associated with abnormal eyelash growth.

Secondary Lymphedema (Acquired)
Secondary lymphedema is caused by external factors that block lymphatic flow. Common causes include:
✅ Surgical treatment:
For example, in cancer treatment, surgery may require the removal of lymph nodes or lymphatic vessels, which can obstruct lymphatic fluid return and lead to swelling. Breast cancer, prostate cancer, and uterine cancer often require lymph node removal, leading to lymphedema.
✅ Radiotherapy:
Radiotherapy may impair the function of the lymphatic system, causing damage or fibrosis of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, resulting in poor lymphatic fluid circulation and swelling.
✅ Infection:
Severe bacterial infections (such as schistosomiasis or filariasis) may cause inflammation or damage to lymph nodes, affecting the lymphatic system and leading to fluid accumulation.
✅ Complications after trauma or surgery:
Trauma (such as burns or surgical incisions) or damage to the lymphatic system can cause damage to lymphatic vessels, leading to swelling.
✅ Chronic diseases:
Certain chronic diseases, such as heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease, may lead to generalized fluid accumulation, triggering lymphedema.
✅ Obesity:
Severe obesity can increase the risk of lymphedema because excess body fat may compress lymphatic vessels, leading to a blockage in lymphatic flow.
✅ Inflammatory diseases:
Chronic inflammatory diseases or immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, can also affect lymphatic fluid flow and increase the risk of swelling.

Overview of Fat Accumulation
Fat deposits refer to the excessive storage of body fat in certain areas of the body, typically manifesting as obesity or localized fat accumulation in specific regions (e.g., abdomen, thighs, buttocks, etc.). There are many causes of fat accumulation, with common factors including:

Poor diet: Consuming high-calorie foods, excessive sugar and fat intake, and lack of a balanced diet.

Lack of exercise: A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity reduce energy expenditure, leading to fat accumulation.

Hormonal changes: Particularly in women during menopause, pregnancy, and other stages, hormonal fluctuations can lead to fat accumulation in specific areas.

Genetic factors: Genes can influence how and where fat is stored in the body.

Chronic stress and lack of sleep: High stress levels and insufficient sleep can increase cortisol levels in the body, which promotes fat storage.

If fat accumulation is not effectively managed, it can lead to a range of health problems such as hyperglycemia, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.

As a plastic and bariatric surgeon, I deeply understand the profound impact that advanced therapies, such as ultrasound and far-infrared technology, can have on health, body image, and overall well-being. With this in mind, we have developed HHVB® Weight Loss Drops — a revolutionary solution designed to make cutting-edge health management technologies more accessible, especially for those with limited resources.
