Press Release Summary = So many people have dieted and gained back even more weight
than they lost. This is why thousands of people are now using acupuncture weight
loss treatment to help control their weight.


Press Release Body = There is a growing obesity epidemic in Western culture. In the
United States, obesity is the second most frequent cause of preventable death -
behind cigarette smoking. Not to mention the millions of people who suffer from
weight-related health problems and complications every year.

However, successful long term weight loss is incredibly difficult for most people to
achieve. Many people have tried diets that may cause some weight loss and then they
gain back the weight they lost plus some additional pounds.

This is why more and more, people are turning to acupuncture weight loss treatments
to try to handle their weight problem once and for all.

Acupuncture is a practice that is more than 5,000 years old, significantly older
than Western medicinal therapies and practices.

Acupuncture weight loss treatment involves what most people think of when they think
about acupuncture. Inserting hair-thin needles into particular spots on the skin
that are believed to help the body function properly.

Acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins, the body\'s own \"feel-good\"
pain-relieving chemicals. It may be that one way acupuncture weight loss treatments
help control appetite is by releasing endorphins.

In the case of overweight patients, the acupuncture specialist will first ask a
variety of questions and perform an examination. The purpose is to understand the
main causes of the person\'s excess weight. Perhaps it is merely behavioral, or there
could be a physiological reason as well.

Once the root causes of the problem are identified, the acupuncture specialist will
then insert needles into different areas of the body in order to help improve the
body\'s functioning in a way that will promote weight loss.

For example, an acupuncture specialist who is doing acupuncture weight loss
treatment for a patient will probably use a multi-targeted approach. They may
attempt to lower the body\'s weight by increasing the output of the pituitary gland.

They would also probably work on reducing cravings for certain foods or they would
attempt to encourage a decrease in natural appetite. Certain needle placements are
even thought to lower insulin levels or lipid levels in the blood.

A benefit of acupuncture weight loss treatment is that unlike certain medications,
there are no harmful side effects and no chance for addiction. It is a perfectly
natural means of boosting the patient\'s weight loss efforts.

Acupuncture weight loss treatments need to be repeated on a rather regular basis in
order to maintain the effects. However, the acupuncture specialist will instruct the
patient that the treatment on its own is not likely to be enough to result in long
term, permanent weight loss.

Attention should also be paid to diet and exercise. The acupuncture specialist may
provide the patient with certain guidelines as to what to avoid eating in order to
promote the regular flow of energy throughout the body as well.

If you\'ve been struggling with a stubborn weight problem, consider acupuncture
weight loss treatment to give your weight loss efforts a boost.
