Many of us have tried every diet known to man during our lifetimes, only to ultimately return to obesity by packing on even more weight. It seems like no matter how hard we try, we merely weren't built to be thin. Unfortunately, our overall health and life expectancy suffer, and we lack the energy we should have pursue everything that life has to offer. Western diet techniques just do not work, mainly because most of them involve unhealthy way of eating and forcing ourselves to exercise even when we hate it. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), however, provides a different approach to losing the weight while maintaining a balance, and that's the very idea of acupuncture and weight loss.
Let's face it. Fad and crash diets do not work. At best we end up yo-yo dieting which isn't good to the body. These diets force the entire body into unnatural regimens that we can't sustain either physically or mentally. Most of us have tried these methods until we've thrown up our hands in frustration. We've seen wealthy celebrities with accessibility to private trainers and personal chefs do well for awhile then rejoin the ranks of the pudgy. We are all looking for something which will let us lose the weight and maintain it permanently. Maybe acupuncture is just the treatment we're searching for.
Acceptance of acupuncture for losing weight scientific studies are becoming more widespread in Western cultures. The Journal of Medical Acupuncture conducted research in 2003 which showed that those invoved with the group who received acupuncture lost over 3 times as many pounds as the those in the team that didn't. Another university study done in Australia in 1998 demonstrated that people receiving acupuncture displayed reduced appetite and lost more weight than the others who didn't. The body of research is growing, and all of it is positively impressed with the weight loss odds of the Oriental treatment.
How does it work? Somehow, acupuncture as well as a special blend of foods and herbs impacts our digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems, lowers food cravings, and raises metabolism. They're all functions that can help the body lose weight by:
* Controlling overeating and suppressing appetite
* Making the most of the assimilation of nutrients
* Energizing the body
* Regulating elimination
* Lowering Anxiety
You just need to compare these results to those you have sustained when dieting to understand that acupuncture and shedding pounds have the real potential to solve your weight problem.
