Acupuncture weight loss must cooperate with diet control and moderate exercise. Simply relying on acupuncture treatment can not achieve the expected results. He said that obesity is generally divided into pathological obesity and physiological obesity. Pathological obesity patients can improve their symptoms through acupuncture, diet control and moderate exercise to achieve the purpose of losing weight.
Many obese people have a good appetite, which is actually a pathological state. For example, patients with excessive stomach fire must be treated. Another example is that some people have endocrine disorders, which can also lead to obesity. Acupuncture weight loss can carry out acupuncture treatment according to the patient's physical condition to achieve a balance.
Disadvantaged population
Before the age of 20, the growth and development of human body is not completely stable, so the therapeutic effect of acupuncture weight loss before the age of 20 may not be ideal. Most obese people before the age of 20 are due to overeating or genetic factors, which lead to an increase in the number of fat cells in the body. This kind of obesity belongs to physical obesity, and the weight loss effect is generally slightly worse. Sometimes, although losing weight is effective, because young people's muscles and bones are still growing and improving, their weight may not necessarily drop significantly.
Acupuncture weight loss's mechanism lies in regulating metabolic function. People over 50 years old, because all aspects of their body functions have changed from stable to weak, their metabolic ability is getting lower and lower, and it is difficult for people over 50 years old to exercise in various activities during weight loss treatment, so the weight loss effect of these people is also poor. It is said that the skin elasticity of people over 50 years old is gradually declining, and even if they lose weight, it is easy to wrinkle their skin, which is not conducive to their health and beautiful appearance. Therefore, as long as the simple obesity of the elderly does not seriously affect health, it is better to let the body lose weight naturally through proper dieting and exercise.
Young and middle-aged people aged 20-50 have to go through a long process from active to inactive due to physiological changes, and their daily energy consumption is also changeable, which is easy to produce obesity. However, at this stage, the function of the human body is relatively sound, so it is easier to adjust the internal function and lose weight through acupuncture treatment, which is the focus of acupuncture weight loss's treatment.
Matters needing attention
First, acupuncture and moxibustion should also pay attention to controlling diet to reduce fat. Overeating and eating casually during acupuncture can't achieve the goal of losing weight. But controlling diet is by no means equal to "hunger therapy" and does not advocate excessive dieting.
Second, acupuncture weight loss is also a gradual process. It is also unrealistic to expect to become slim after a few stitches. At the same time of acupuncture, developing good living and eating habits can effectively prevent rebound. Otherwise, once the needle is stopped, it will rebound immediately.
Three, in the process of acupuncture weight loss's treatment, there may be anorexia, thirst, increased frequency of defecation, fatigue and other reactions, which are normal phenomena. Through acupuncture treatment, the internal functions of the body are constantly adjusted, metabolism is accelerated, energy is constantly consumed, and some clinical symptoms are produced. These symptoms will disappear when the body regains its balance. If the symptoms such as dizziness, pain and nausea are all adverse reactions of acupuncture during acupuncture, the treatment should be interrupted immediately to prevent danger.
Fourth, increasing fat consumption is a necessary condition for weight loss treatment. But it does not advocate strenuous exercise, but advocates endurance and lasting exercise. For patients with abdominal obesity, abdominal breathing and abdominal exercise about 20 minutes before going to bed are very beneficial to reducing abdominal fat and relaxing bowels.
5. Chinese acupuncture is a profound knowledge. Patients can only lose weight by going to a regular slimming clinic without side effects and adjusting the treatment plan as a whole.
Acupuncture diet is actually helping you to get rid of some bad eating habits and treat some physical diseases that lead to obesity. For example, for postpartum women and menopausal obese people, acupuncture weight loss mainly helps to treat endocrine disorders, and for young women, it mainly helps to control appetite. Weight loss treatment must integrate treatment, exercise and diet to be effective. If you just want to rely on acupuncture and hope to lose weight with a few injections, it's just a dream.
