Due to the fast pace of modern life, many people do not have time to exercise and lose weight. Even if they have time, they are lazy to move. At this time, a new way of losing weight has emerged - cupping therapy for weight loss. So, is cupping therapy for weight loss really effective? What is its weight loss principle?
Is cupping therapy for weight loss really effective?
Cupping therapy for weight loss is effective, but it is not just about cupping to lose weight. It also needs to be combined with a specific diet plan. The diet plan includes: breakfast (eat as much as you want of boiled eggs and skim milk), lunch (choose either chicken or fish and eat as much as you want), dinner (cucumber or stir-fried cucumber; if you are hungry, you can eat raw cucumber or tomatoes).
When doing cupping therapy for weight loss, it is necessary to follow the diet plan and avoid eating anything not included in the plan. From this diet plan, it can be seen that carbohydrate intake is basically zero. Therefore, in the long run, it will have an impact on the body.
If you think that cupping therapy for weight loss is comfortable, you are wrong. Your stomach will feel uncomfortable, your body will feel uncomfortable, and your cravings will be uncomfortable.
Of course, we cannot deny the effectiveness of cupping therapy for weight loss. Many friends who can adhere to this diet plan and regularly receive cupping therapy have achieved results. But it is not easy to stick to it.
What is the principle of cupping therapy for weight loss?
Cupping therapy for weight loss works by creating a suction effect on specific areas of the body. It can promote the flow of Qi and blood, balance hormones, accelerate blood and lymph circulation, and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
This improves digestion, speeds up metabolism, increases heat production and fat consumption, and helps to reduce surface and deep-seated fat, achieving safe, health-oriented, and rapid weight loss.
The strong suction force of cupping therapy can open up the sweat pores, stimulate the function of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and accelerate the shedding of aging cells on the skin surface, thus accelerating the elimination of toxins and waste from the body.
When the human body is invaded by external factors such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire, or when it is injured by trauma, it can disrupt the normal physiological functions of the organs and disrupt the circulation of Qi and blood, leading to blood stasis.
Cupping therapy can eliminate the six external pathogenic factors, promote Qi and blood circulation, and warm and activate the meridians. Its warm effect can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow, and enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls.
Precautions for weight loss:
1. Drink plenty of water: Cupping therapy for weight loss requires drinking plenty of water. Drinking water can regulate body temperature, improve metabolism, and help eliminate toxins from the body, which is very helpful for weight loss.
2. Gradual progression: Long-term adherence is the key to successful weight loss. If you want to lose weight, it means that your organs and muscles must be able to support a major transformation, which means they must work harder in daily activities.
3. Eat small meals frequently: Skipping meals is not an effective weight loss method. In fact, burning fat also requires energy. Eating small meals frequently can maintain stable blood sugar levels, reduce hunger, and avoid overeating.
4. Chew slowly: When eating, it is important to maintain a good image. Whether you are really hungry or not, remember not to eat too quickly. This "ladylike" way of eating is very helpful in reducing food intake.
