We have to ensure the proper energy flow in the body if we want to be healthy and lose weight. There are many ways to do so. We can replenish the vital energy through practicing qigong, acupressure or yoga. We can also replenish the energy through healthy nutrition.

Qigong means cultivating the vital energy or qi. It promotes the flow of vital energy in the body and among other benefits promotes the weight loss. Qigong can help lose weight in different ways:

1. Deep breathing exercises promote the flow of qi, strengthen the willpower and thus help to cope with cravings and staying on a weight loss program till the desired outcome is achieved.

2. Qigong helps to clear the energy blockages in the body. When the energy moves freely, the major energy centers that nourish the endocrine glands get energized. This helps regulate the hormones production in the body and hence help to maintain the ideal weight and good health.

3. When practiced on an empty stomach qigong helps increase the metabolic rate and burn fat.

Vital energy can also be derived from food. This is another reason to eat healthy food. Overcooked foods, non-organic foods treated with herbicides and pesticides, foods that are too spicy, too fatty, too sweet, foods that over-stimulate the body do not nourish the body and do not provide the body with qi. They actually deplete the energy of the body because an extra energy is needed for their digestion.

Acupressure is another way to promote the energy flow in the body. Stimulation of the acupressure points related to spleen, large intestine, stomach and gall bladder used in conjunction with other weight loss tools can facilitate the weight loss process.
