Ten Ways Your Body Benefits From Reflexology

2. Boosted energy levels

Feeling tired, sluggish, or even depressed can be connected with different parts of the body, including the thyroid or the adrenal glands.  An underactive thyroid can also mean that besides being tired or depressed, you can also gain weight quickly because your metabolism has slowed down.  Under-functioning adrenal glands also mean you will have an increased presence of the stress hormone cortisol in your system.  Cortisol makes it easier for you to gain weight.

Finding and working on the corresponding pressure points in your feet that affect the thyroid and the adrenal glands can increase the function in both of these areas.  This can kick-start an increase in your metabolism and energy creation, meaning it may become easier for you to lose weight or maintain your current weight.
