Obesity is a disease characterized by excess fat tissue in the body.
When an obese person undergoes detailed examinations, sometimes no abnormality may be found. Sometimes there is no physical symptom either. On the other hand, 60% of patients diagnosed with type II diabetes are obese. It is also known that there is a direct relationship between the increase in fat tissue in the body and the emergence or aggravation of hormonal-metabolic diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
So why do we overeat? Why do we continue to see that we are getting fat? The answers to these questions were investigated, and it was observed that obese people are warned about eating more quickly, their palate is more developed, they are fuller later, and the task of eating preoccupies their minds more in their daily lives.
Many complex genetic, metabolic, hormonal and nervous systems play a role in the formation of obesity. Family structure, eating habits, lifestyle, psychological problems, some drugs effectively pave the way for obesity at any step of this complex system.
Since obesity is a disease, it cannot be eliminated by dieting and leaving it. New eating habits and a new lifestyle are required. Obesity, like diabetes or high blood pressure, needs to be treated for life.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the world. The average frequency is given as 25%. When those who are not obese but above their ideal weight are added to this percentage, this rate reaches 50%.

30-40 Kg. Of course, patients with excess need to diet for a long time. However, diets that start every Monday end every Saturday because most people don’t have such patience. Thus, as a result of frequent diet experiments, it becomes more difficult to lose weight day by day. In such patients, acupuncture provides incredible success and patients can lose tens of kilos. The reason why the patient can withstand the diet for a long time is due to the sedative and tranquilizing effects of acupuncture. In addition, as the patient sees their weight melting, they become more motivated and cling to this work with all their hands.
