After the Spring Festival, with the arrival of spring, women in the provincial capital who are beauty-conscious have once again placed reducing the "fat reserves" accumulated over the winter on their agenda. Some specialized weight loss clinics in the provincial capital have also ushered in their "spring."
At around 15:00 yesterday, at another acupuncture weight loss clinic on Huai'an Road, dozens of beds were filled with people receiving acupuncture for weight loss. "With improved living conditions, especially during the New Year celebrations, people generally consume excessive amounts of food and nutrients. Therefore, a post-holiday weight loss surge is inevitable," said one therapist.
Excessive obesity may lead to fatty liver, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and high blood sugar. Excessive weight loss, on the other hand, might cause endocrine disorders in young women. So, how can one lose weight scientifically?
Director Ma Xiang from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Physiotherapy Department of the PLA No. 260 Hospital introduced that weight loss follows an "energy conservation law," which means ensuring an individual's total nutritional intake is less than their energy expenditure. "Simple dieting, drinking weight loss tea, or excessive exercise alone, even the most effective weight loss products, are not the best ways to lose weight. We need to maintain a balanced diet and appropriate exercise. Additionally, we can combine these with traditional Chinese medicine methods such as acupuncture, massage, and embedding threads, which stimulate natural metabolism, burning more fat, thus naturally achieving weight loss."
