EXCERPT: For women who are overweight or obese and are unable to exercise, new research appearing online in The FASEB Journal suggests combining acupuncture with an electrical current may help. In the report, an international team of researchers used electroacupuncture to assist with muscle contraction, which led to improved blood sugar regulation.

this is one of those odd sounding litigious dodging studys for over weight american women looking to sue someone.

quite clearly sticking needles into muscles then applying electrical shocks will stimulate the muscles and burn more calories for many hours afterward while helping to make the muscle stronger.
