Acupuncture & Beta-Endorphin Tips

Let's talk about why acupuncture can help us control weight. The first mechanism, we already mentioned, balancing the nervous system to control the appetite. And the second one is acupuncture help induce the beta- endorphin. We mentioned that about beta-endorphin make us feel good and it relieve the pain. But another effect of beta-endorphin can have is control our appetite. For instance, when you run 10 miles, and you pass your second wind, then you feel so good, so energetic, then you don't want to eat for a while. But if you don't exercise, you sit in front of TV for the whole evening, then you just keep eating. It seems you never get satisfied with the food. And if you eat the wrong food, then it's very easy for you to gain 20 pounds within a year.
