A Different Perspective on Weight Loss

3/9/2021

2 Comments

 
Losing weight is a personal health goal. You can be healthy at any size.  While a healthy body weight is important it is not the whole story.  Research shows a person's level of activity is more important than their body weight. A skinny person who is sedentary may be less healthy than someone who exercises regularly but has a few extra pounds.  Shaming and talking down to yourself that you need to lose weight or else does not help- it can in fact make things worse.  And certainly blaming every health problem or ache or pain you have on your body weight doesn't help either- even skinny people and athletic people can suffer from chronic health problems!

A lot of people need to feel better before they can tackle the lifestyle change and dedication necessary to achieve lasting weight loss.  And that's ok. Acupuncture can help you get there if weight loss is your goal, and if its not- that's ok too.  How does acupuncture help with weight loss?  Acupuncture helps to balance hormones, improve digestion, increase motivation, reduce sugar cravings, improve sleep and relieve the stress that results in emotional eating.
  Every patient is different but what we find is that for most patients we are working on a several different areas to help them achieve their goals.

I did not know, that news makes me feel better about my concerns and anxiety about losing weight, I have been heavy all my life, but still exercise 4 to 5 times a week.
