Acupuncture and healthy weight loss

In our Western society, it is becoming an increasingly bigger problem: overweight. More and more people are carrying too many kilos. Severe overweight not only leads to increased risks of conditions and diseases, but can also have significant mental consequences. Losing weight in a healthy way is therefore very important. Acupuncture can help to restore balance.

Overweight or Obesity
If you don't move enough and eat too much (unhealthy) food, the chances are high that you will become overweight. And if your weight poses a danger to your health, we speak of overweight or, at a later stage, obesity. If this applies to you, always seek advice from your GP. Obesity increases the risk of heart and vascular diseases, diabetes, joint disorders, gallbladder disorders, and shortness of breath. But that's not all. Severe overweight can also have emotional and social consequences. For example, you may feel depressed and lonely.

Looking at causes such as stress or a disrupted hormonal balance
An acupuncturist works from a holistic approach and therefore does not see overweight as a strictly physical problem. Body and mind are one entity. Of course, the acupuncturist will investigate the physical causes of your overweight and look at your energy balance and the functioning of your organs. An acupuncture treatment ensures that your digestion starts working optimally. Additionally, the acupuncturist considers why you have become overweight. Do you always feel hungry or have a disrupted hormonal balance? Or do you eat out of boredom or when stressed? The acupuncturist takes all this information into account in the treatment.

Losing weight healthily through acupuncture
An acupuncture treatment aims to bring your body and mind into balance. This reduces your urge to overeat and helps you find balance. Combined with additional dietary or exercise advice, you can naturally and healthily lose weight. For example, the acupuncturist may recommend that you practice Tai Chi or Qi Gong, both forms of exercise that promote your health.
