Acupuncture Ke Cheng Lei Ling lose weight outpatient
Wang Zi (pseudonym), who just received the admission notice from Wuhan Conservatory of Music this year, has regular facial features and is as tall as 1.7 meters. However, due to her love of food, she has been neglecting exercise for a long time, and her weight is almost 160kg.
After the college entrance examination, Wang Zi came to the City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to try acupuncture weight loss. Li Shaolan, deputy chief physician of the department, learned that Xiao Wang had no basic diseases, and he was obese because of his strong appetite and lack of exercise. She usually practices piano for a short time, so she is advised to try embedding thread to lose weight.
On the basis of acupuncture weight loss, this method embeds the catgut processed by traditional Chinese medicine into acupoints such as Zusanli, Shu Tian, Zhongwan and Guanyuan with special needles, and continues to stimulate. After two weeks of natural absorption, the catgut is reconstructed. After two months of persistence, Xiao Wang lost a little weight.
But for another part of people who need to lose weight but are not symptomatic, acupuncture seems a bit "superficial". Because of hypothyroidism, Ms. Li gained 20 pounds and sought acupuncture treatment, but there was little change.
"Generally, people who come to the acupuncture department are mainly middle-aged and elderly people, all of whom are patients with headache, dizziness, insomnia, facial paralysis and encephalopathy. In recent years, acupuncture weight loss has become increasingly popular. " Yi Ping, deputy chief physician of this department, said that although acupuncture can regulate the endocrine and metabolic functions of the body by stimulating certain acupoints, it is still an auxiliary weight-loss method for simple obese people, and it should be combined with exercise and diet control to avoid weight rebound after weight loss.
Acupuncture weight loss must fight for a long time.
After beginning of autumn, the temperature dropped slightly, which made many people who lost their appetite due to the heat feel their appetite increased greatly. Li Shaolan pointed out that the acupoints selected by acupuncture and catgut embedding for weight loss are precisely to suppress the obese people's over-active appetite, and can also moderately inhibit the patients' gastrointestinal absorption function, so as to achieve the purpose of slimming by regulating the "less intake and more output" of the human body's own metabolic system.
However, no matter how perfect it sounds, it is necessary to combine diet and exercise therapy. It can even be said that acupuncture weight loss is an auxiliary measure of diet and exercise.
In fact, the mechanism of acupuncture weight loss is not very clear. Although it has promoted the body's fat catabolism to a certain extent, this effect is not enough to decompose a lot of fat in the body to lose weight quickly. It is generally believed that one is to strengthen the diuretic effect of the body; The second is to suppress appetite, delay gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce eating; The third is to regulate endocrine. This also determines that short-term acupuncture or catgut embedding can not achieve long-term slimming effect, and it must be a process that needs long-term persistence.
In order to avoid "losing weight every year", when evaluating acupuncture weight loss, we should not only look at the effect of losing weight, but also consider from many aspects, such as whether the eating habits have changed, whether the hunger is obvious, and the safety of acupuncture and moxibustion. Therefore, don't over-control your diet, meet your basic needs, and stick to aerobic exercise, so that you can really lose weight.
Be careful to hide tricks in informal situations.
In recent years, the acupuncture weight loss market has developed vigorously. However, because there is no night clinic in large hospitals and most dieters are on the job, this gives some beauty and fitness institutions without medical qualifications an opportunity.
An expert said that why everyone in acupuncture weight loss dares to do it now, so that it is rampant, is also related to "safety". Because acupuncture weight loss's acupoints are mainly the hands, legs and abdomen, the abdomen will not be deeply pierced, and the key parts such as the head and neck are not involved, so the probability of major accidents is low, which makes some laymen dare to operate the needle.
Those service personnel who don't understand human anatomy at all and have only been trained in health care schools for a few days have taken up their posts. Under their needles, some dieters were punctured and bruised, caked under the skin, and even the needles were stuck in the meat. Afterwards, they couldn't find the hospital to "put out the fire".
In addition, in informal occasions, acupuncture or catgut embedding are often tied together with other products, such as requiring dieters to take their diet pills at the same time, or using massage essential oil, or even buying expensive bras, which have become the real promotion of fake acupuncture.
Experts remind that acupuncture is a medical project after all, and you must go to a regular hospital to see a doctor. It not only ensures the disposable use of needles, but also has a precise grasp of TCM syndrome differentiation and acupoint treatment, which is far from being comparable to street beauty salons and health care institutions.
Acupuncture is ineffective for 7 kinds of secondary obesity.
A few days ago, the reporter learned from provincial and municipal traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, the First Hospital of the city, and Pu 'ai Hospital that the number of citizens in acupuncture weight loss is increasing every year, and the number of dieters in some hospitals has reached nearly 20%.
Who is suitable for acupuncture weight loss and who is less effective? Yi Ping introduced that the first is acquired obesity, that is, people who eat more and exercise less, people who weigh more than the standard value 10%, especially those with high body fat rate and fat accumulation in the waist and abdomen. If some girls are not fat or even slim, they may be disappointed if they want to reach below normal weight through acupuncture.
Experts emphasize that acupuncture adjustment is basically not helpful for people who take diet pills for a long time, or secondary obesity, that is, obesity caused by certain disease factors, such as thalamic diseases, pituitary diseases, insulin, hypothyroidism, adrenal cortex hyperfunction, and long-term use of hormones or sedatives.
Losing weight is not a short-term behavior, and acupuncture series therapy is not achieved overnight. Rapid weight loss will not only rebound, but also lead to amenorrhea, gallstones, brain cell damage, osteoporosis, hair loss and other diseases, and even lead to organ failure. Losing weight should be a long-term behavior, and it is important to stick to it and form a habit. Safe weight loss should be 1 kg -3 kg per month, which is more practical.
