The market in the recent past has seen an increase in advertisement of weight loss bracelets. As expected, the idea has been quite tempting to the large majority of population who are excited to wear jewelries that will help them burn unwanted calories in addition to looking attractive. It is important to understand how these ornaments work.

Most of the weight loss bracelets are made of magnetic materials as the magnet has been found to influence blood flow. Given the metabolism rates increases with increase in the blood flow, more calories get burnt hence weight loss.

This is not a completely new idea as historic records show that the use of magnetic ornaments has been in place for quite a long time. For success however, the magnet must be in touch with the body skin. Given that the wrist has many veins, it is targeted with many magnetic ornaments. A proper balance of fashion and quality magnetic jewelry is therefore recommendable for the success of the whole idea.

The magnetic north-pole must also be the side facing the skin while the south-pole faces away. Most of the brands are designed in such a manner that make this easy although testing for the magnetic poles will be important in situation where it is not clear which side is the north-pole.

Understanding the possible dangers that the body is exposed to as a result of magnetic influence is very important. The magnetic ornaments are not recommended for individuals suffering from different blood disorders. They are also not advisable for those with either insulin or liver pump or even those who have pacemaker or defibrillator. For the same reasons, they should also be avoided by pregnant women.

There are other weight loss bracelets other than the magnetic ones that the manufacturers are promoting in the market. Dominating this category is wristbands that come in different categories. Hologram discs for instance are embedded on wristbands with the main purpose of harmonizing energy flow in the body improving flexibility, body strength and balance in the process.

There is also that category of the scented wristbands that works on the assumption that particular fragrances can act as appetite suppressants enabling the user to withstand cravings. The other category consists of those bands that target to modify the behavior of an individual. They come in different colors or with phrases that act as reminders either for proper diet or exercise routine.

One of the major factors to consider before settling on any particular category is the health status of the targeted user. As already said, the magnetic based ornaments are not recommended so user exhibiting specific health conditions while the scented ones may trigger allergic reaction to some people.

With so many tempting brands in the market and the promotional adverts, it is prudent to compare the brands in both the online stores and the local jewelry stores before settling on the most attractive and most cost effective weight loss bracelets.
