Acupuncture Appetite Reducing Tips

Video Transcript

"First, we want to talk about how acupuncture can help to control our eating. We have Yin and a Yang in each system and about a nervous system, we have sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system, which is kind of corresponding to a Yin and a Yang. And a parasympathetic nervous system is called digest and relaxing system. And the sympathetic nervous system is called a fight and flight. So during the day time, the fight and flight system is dominant. So you work hard and you think hard; you don't think about food. You hardly eat for the whole day, but by the evening, our relaxing and digesting system take over, and it becomes dominant. So your appetite increase so much that you keep eating and eating. One of the way, we can control this, is using acupuncture to balance this two system so that you won't have over-acting digesting and relaxing system, and keep eating until you gain too much weight."
