Can Acupuncture Fight Belly Fat?
A handful of jabs might
help you drop a pants size, say researchers at Kyung Hee
University in Seoul, South Korea. In a new study in the journal Acupuncture
in Medicine, folks who got acupuncture for eight weeks saw a 6% reduction
in BMI, a smaller waist circumference, and a loss in overall body fat.
“Stimulating specific
points can help suppress appetite and increase metabolism,” explains study co-author
Sabina Lim. Needles were placed into points on the ear thought to correspond to
hunger and activity in the stomach, spleen and endocrine system.
