Can Acupuncture Really Help Me Lose Weight?

By Johanna Leave a Comment

It seems the number of people struggling with their weight is forever increasing. More and more people face ongoing struggles trying to lose weight. This includes men and women of all ages, and even children.

Not surprisingly, the number of people ready to explore alternative weight loss strategies is increasing.

Some consider short term cleansing diets, stricter diet protocols, or more drastic measures, such as gastro-intestinal procedures.

Others look at alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, to help them shed the extra pounds (and ideally keep them off).

Unfortunately, many immediately will disregard acupuncture. However, there are also those who insist that acupuncture has many benefits to offer and that it has helped them to lose weight.

What Is Acupuncture?

Aging? Even You Can Walk Off The Extra Pounds

By Barbara Phillips, NP 3 Comments

BOSTON  As you age, walking can keep the pounds away, according to new research presented at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society, an organization of weight-loss researchers and care providers.

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh found that overweight middle-aged people who walked briskly for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost 7 pounds in a year and a half, while similar adults who didn’t exercise consistently gained seven pounds in that time.

In the second study, University of North Carolina researchers did an analysis of data on young adults, ages 18 to 30, over a 15-year period and found those who walked four or more hours a week were the least likely to gain weight as they aged.
