Not a quick fix — a new foundation, built gradually
§ Abstract
You have to keep in mind that it is not a quick fix, but rather a series of mindful, gradual choices that help build a new foundation for the body. Oriental medicine supports that work from several directions at once — and it asks you to eat for your own constitution rather than for someone else’s.
I.
How Acupuncture Supports Weight Loss
The healing effect of acupuncture is achieved by working on several fronts at the same time.
01
More Energy
Helping you gain more energy — the ground everything else stands on.
02
Less Stress
Reducing stress and stress-related hormone levels.
03
Better Metabolism
Improving the metabolism and absorption of nutrients.
04
Lower Appetite
Lowering your appetite and cravings.
Still On You
While using Oriental Medicine to aid in weight loss, you are still advised to have healthy eating habits, as well as keep active.
II.
Eating Right for Your Constitution
Another important factor to consider when trying to lose weight is eating right for your constitution. Not all of our genetic makeup and body types are the same.
According to Chinese medicine, each body type has its unique intelligence and needs different foods, types of activity, and sleep patterns in order to stay in balance.
What Differs Between Body Types
- Foods
- Types of activity
- Sleep patterns
For Some
Eating lots of raw, cold foods might work well.
For Others
Constitutions strive when adding warming foods and spices.
Thus, considering our unique qualities is crucial when trying to make positive changes toward a healthier self.
