Introduction: Increased fat mass is becoming more prevalent in women and its accumulation in the abdominal region can lead to numerous health risks such as diabetes mellitus. The clay body wrap using compounds such as green clay, green tea and magnesium sulfate, in addition to microcurrent, may reduce abdominal fat mass and minimize or prevent numerous health problems. Objective: This study aims at measuring the influence of the clay body wrap with microcurrent and aerobic exercise on abdominal fat. Methods: Nineteen female patients, randomized into intervention (n = 10) and control (n = 9) groups, were evaluated using ultrasound for visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat, calipers and abdominal region perimeter for subcutaneous fat and bioimpedance for weight, fat mass percentage and muscular mass. During 10 sessions (5 weeks, twice a week) both groups performed aerobic exercise in a cycloergometer and a clay body wrap with microcurrent was applied to the intervention group. Results: When comparing both groups after 5 weeks of protocol, there was a significant decrease in the subcutane-ous fat around left anterior superior iliac spine in the intervention group (ρ = 0.026 for a confidence interval 95%). When comparing initial and final abdominal fat in the intervention group, measured by ultrasound (subcutaneous and visceral fat) and by skinfold (subcutaneous fat), we detected a significant abdominal fat reduction. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the clay body wrap used with microcurrent and aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on central fat reduction.

“…Het gebruik van klei varieert van bescherming van het maagdarmkanaal, als laxatiemiddel en als middel tegen diarree tot aan de verzorging van huidwonden. (Carretero, 2002). Verschillende onderzoeken laten zien dat kleimineralen daarom een goede uitwerking op de diergezondheid hebben.…”

“…Furthermore, the -CH 3 deformation vibration band at 1390 cm À1 is present in both Hal/120-A and Hal/400-A, suggesting that incomplete hydrolysis of APTES occurred in both samples [67]. Because the inner AlOH groups are unavailable for grafting APTES and loading IBU, their vibration (3621 cm À1 ) can be used as a reference to evaluate the 29 Si MAS NMR spectra, and (b) 13 C MAS NMR spectra (dotted lines for experimental and solid lines for simulated). extent of modification or the content of IBU in the halloysite.…”

“…For instance, clay minerals (smectites, hydrotalcite, and kaolinite) are used as active pharmaceutical principles for oral applications (gastrointestinal protectors, laxatives, and antidiarrhoeaics) and topical applications (dermatological protectors and cosmetics). Also smectites with other clay minerals such as talc and palygorskite are used as excipients (inert bases, emulsifiers, and lubricants) in pharmaceutical formulations [13,14].…”
