If you seem to have been dieting forever and have tried out various weight loss programs over the years without any positive results, it may be time to find a better alternative. Research shows that there are benefits to be had in undergoing acupuncture for weight loss. According to the Journal of Medical Acupuncture, participants that received acupuncture lost 3x more weight than those in a control group.
Results showed that the group given acupuncture treatment was more likely to experience a reduced appetite and to lose weight than the other group. This is due to the fact that acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins, the “feel good” pain-relieving chemicals. Thus, when endorphins are released, the body combats cravings for carbohydrates, reduces appetite and also prevents withdrawal symptoms if weight loss is related to drug abuse.
