dimagrire with l 'acupuncture? We have already talked about this technique, both to briefly explain how it works and to list the various possible applications in the field of health. Today, however, comes a new small confirmation of its effectiveness also with regard to weight loss.
A study, conducted by a group of researchers from the Kyung Hee University in Corea and published in the magazine 'Acupuncture in Medicine'highlighted how the simultaneous stimulation of 5 points located on the ears may be able to help reduce excess fat, especially in the abdominal area.
The research went like this: they were selected 91 overweight adults (16 men and 75 women) on one group of them were applied 2 mm needles on 5 external ear points (Shen-men, Spleen, Stomach, Hunger, Endocrine) con continuous stimulation for 8 weeks, except for the change of needles once a week; on the other hand, the continuous stimulation of a single point, that of hunger, was carried out. There was also a third control group who did not have needles continuously applied.
At the end of the treatment it was seen that the group to which the 5 points had been stimulated had obtained one 6,1% reduction in BMI e abdominal fat, while the other group only by 5,7% and with no reduction in terms of fat.
The research is small and certainly needs to be deepened better but it still provides more hope for those who have to lose weight even if, as we always say, the first things to work on are a 'balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle where thephysical activity be an integral part of your habits.
