Weight Issues

 

 

More and more we are seeing media and advertising campaigns promoting the “ideal” body weight and size, in nearly every magazine you open you see women glorified for their slim size O figure.

 

Is it any wonder we suffer from weight issues?

 

Acupuncture has been used for a number of years to help people with weight issues.

 

Using a prescription of points that have been specifically tailored to suit the individual, Acupuncture has been successful in helping clients in their pursuit for a healthy weight and BMI.

 

 

TCM Acupuncturists encourage individuals to tune into their own body mind and spirit, recognizing that each person is entirely unique.

 

 

TCM Acupuncture is a safe and truly healing weight-loss resource

 

 

 

 

Some Causes of Weight Issues

 

 

 

·        Stress

 

A number of people when suffering from Stress will snack more in order to take their mind off the cause of their stress.

 

 

·        Emotional Turmoil

 

A lot of women will tell you that when they are upset, angry, or feeling low nothing beats a bit of chocolate. We are not alone. Men also have a habit of turning to food when things get a bit tough for them.

 

 

·        Habit

 

Tea with out a biscuit! Coffee without chocolate! It sounds terrible I know

 

 

·        Lack of Exercise

 

After a long day working or looking after the children or both, the couch looks very comfortable but even a ten minute walk to the local shop for the evening paper is a lot better for you than driving.

 

 

·        Bad Nutrition

 

With our fast paced life it is much easier for us to opt for the quick and easy options when it comes to food.

With fast food restaurants on every corner it’s no wonder that most of us choose that quick burger or curry chip.

 

 

 

 

Over Weight / Obesity

 

 

 

Overweight and Obesity issues are generally related to our culture and lifestyle.

 

Acupuncture with the help of dietary and lifestyle advice would endeavor to reduce your appetite, increase your metabolism and curb those nasty cravings.
