Let’s face it. Celebrities are very different from most people. They need to stay in shape and have a solid skincare routine. Celebrities also need to keep their energy levels up due to often grueling and demanding schedules.
In addition, celebrities have access to cutting-edge treatments and the income to pay for them. Here is a sample of what celebrities do to stay on their toes. Some of them are actually bizarre but others are within reach for non-celebrities.
1. Vitamin Shots and Patches
Most people are content to take their vitamins in pill form. Celebrities, however, think they have found a better way. The Thrive Patch adheres to the body and slowly supplies you with vitamins and energy throughout the day. With this kind of patch, there is no need to take any additional formulations.
Vitamin shots (as in injections) are being taken by many celebrities. Vitamin B-12 in particular is believed to be the most effective form. B-12, among other things, produces energy and slows aging, two things that are important to everyone but not everyone wants to receive injections.
Some even go so far as to get vitamin B-12 transfusions. They visit locations, usually in spas, called drip bars where they are hooked up to vitamin B-12 intravenously as they relax with others in a luxurious setting.
2. Leeches
The humble leech is back as a beneficial treatment. Once thought of as a bizarre tool used in medieval times, leeches are back as a legitimate aid in certain circumstances. Since they attach to your body and suck blood, they are often used to reduce the swelling of large bruised areas.
As the leeches remove blood, they also inject enzymes that many see as healthful and invigorating. Apparently, some also believe that having some blood removed is detoxing.
3. Cleanses
Many of those in the public eye swear by cleanses. The first kind of cleanse is ingested. Generally, participants fast for the length of the cleanse except for various juice concoctions that are supposed to rid the body of toxins and bloating. This, in turn, will make the person feel lighter and more energetic.
The second kind of cleanse is actually quite invasive but many swear by it. A water jet cleans out your lower intestine. This supposedly also rids the body of accumulated toxins and those who have had this procedure say they feel so energized they don’t even feel the need for coffee.
4. Vinegar Shots
Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apples. Many ingest ACV, as it is often called, every day. When taken by itself first thing in the morning in a shot glass, it is supposed to provide many benefits.
Not only does apple cider vinegar improve digestion, but it also keeps skin looking youthful and eliminates fatigue. This is one that anyone can try. Look for a brand that says it contains “the mother’. This is the cloudy stuff that settles at the bottom of the bottle and provides many of the enzymes responsible for the health benefits.
5. Gem Therapy
Celebrities have caught on to this therapy, but they were not the first to use it. New age and holistic practitioners have always used gemstones for many different purposes. The theory is that if crystals can amplify voltage in a radio, they can certainly provide a person with beneficial energy or take away negative energy.
It seems that the crystals most important for an energy boost are those that are sunny yellow or orange like citrine. Energizing crystals can be carried in a pocket or purse, made into jewelry or used as decorations in the home. Some even use water bottles with their preferred crystals in a special compartment at the bottom.
Celebrities may do some unusual things to maintain their youth, physique and energy. If some are intriguing to you, why not see for yourself how they make you feel?
