Obesity has become one of the important problems of our age. It is the inevitable end of a way of life that is not compatible with human nature. Industrializing societies basically move away from nature and unite people under certain rules. Many reasons such as long office working hours, long-term inactivity, lack of exercise, unbalanced nutrition, consumption of processed and genetically modified food predispose to obesity.
Obesity causes many problems, especially muscle-joint disorders and cardiovascular problems. It causes many diseases. It is usually accompanied by diabetes. High blood pressure can cause an enlarged heart. It may cause cosmetic and psychological problems.
As can be understood from all this, fighting obesity is a very difficult process. It is a situation where many variables are effective. Corrections made to these variables must be permanent. Otherwise, the words "I gained back the weight I lost with diet and acupuncture" will come out of our mouths.
In summary; Weight loss should be perceived as fighting against obesity. Work should be done to ensure that the person reaches the appropriate weight for his height and age. Once the ideal weight is reached, a maintenance program should be entered. In this process, sports should be done within the framework of possibilities. In other words, lifestyle change should be targeted, not just acupuncture or diet.
Acupuncture helps reduce symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, excessive hunger, sudden blood pressure changes that occur during the weight loss process. In fact, some publications state that there are significant changes in insulin resistance.
In practice, 2-3 sessions of therapy per week with a combination of ear and body, as well as permanent injections, are used. Ongoing sessions can be spread over monthly or even 3-month intervals depending on the person's condition. The aim is to lose 4-6 kilos of weight per month. That is, 1-1.5 kg per week... In addition to acupuncture, a sustainable nutrition program and exercise program suitable for the individual should be started at the beginning of the treatment. The exercise program is usually brisk straight walks. Regular water consumption should be ensured according to the person's weight.
When the ideal weight is reached, another problem is regional fat residues, wrinkles and sagging on the skin. If necessary, it can be handled for regional thinning purposes. Ctro acupuncture or mesotherapy can be applied.
