此外,臨床研究顯示,針灸減重在促進新陳代謝、減少內臟脂肪以及改善胰島素敏感性方面具有積極作用。例如,一項2021年發表於《Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine》的系統性綜述研究顯示,針灸可有效降低體重指數(BMI)和腰圍,並改善與肥胖相關的代謝指標(註3)。然而,中醫減重需要長期的調理與耐心,並非一蹴可幾,搭配健康的飲食與適量運動,才能達到最佳效果。
科學研究證實,針灸減重不僅能有效降低體脂,還可改善內分泌系統,減少復胖的可能性。一項發表於《Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine》的系統性綜述指出,針灸對於肥胖患者的BMI、腰圍與體脂率均有顯著改善(註13)。這表明,中醫的整體療法不僅在減重上有良好效果,更能幫助提升整體健康指標。
