How Does Garcinia Help in Weight Loss?



By 2015 there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults worldwide, predicts the World Health Organization the BBC said in its 2008 news report. More than 700 million of these will be considered obese. Overweight conditions have led many people in seeking help through chemically concocted formulas or herbal supplements. One such supplement touted to help in weight loss is Garcinia cambogia.


 Identification


  • Mangosteen has been used for centuries

    Garcinia cambogia is a small to medium sized evergreen tree that bears red or yellow colored berries. Some of its other more common names are Citrin, Gambooge, Mangosteen, Brindleberry or Malabar tamarind. Native to southeastern Asia, the tree's berry rind is dried and used for flavoring in cooking and as a drink. Garcinia's active ingredient is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which gives it a tart taste. Garcinia is widely used in India and is beginning to find a following in other parts of the world not only as a culinary seasoning but as a method of weight reduction.

History

  • The berry of the Garcinia cambogia has been used in food recipes and medicinally for centuries. It was prescribed for fluid retention, stomach and digestion problems, arthritis, as well as internal parasites. Garcinia was used as a preservative for fish. When included in recipes, it was purported to reduce one's appetite. This claim brought it to the attention of the weight loss world.
  • According to the editors of Mothernature.com News and the University of Illinois Medical Centr, Garcinia has been the focus of research examining lipogenesis. Lipogenesis is how fat and cholesterol are produced and stored in the body metabolically. The HCA blocks the production and storage of fat and cholesterol when calorie consumption exceeds healthful levels. The article states that, based on animal studies, Garcinia looks to be a promising addition to a sound weight management program.
    However, the editors also said that a recent clinical trial "found no weight-loss benefit from taking the herb." They said the study used very small doses per pound of body weight. The question whether it will benefit humans as a weight loss tool won't be told until higher doses of Garcinia are used.


Warning

  • Don't take Garcinia cambogia if you are pregnant or nursing.
    People who have Alzheimer's's or diabetes should not take Garcinia.
    Keep this herb out of the reach of children and animals.
    Know the dosage strength and if any other herbs are mixed in the formula.
    Allergic reactions could occur.

Ginseng and Diabetes






Ginseng has the ability of curing diabetes due to its effectiveness in creating healthy, balanced, and clean metabolic system.

Basically diabetes is a disease that is caused by unbalanced blood sugar.
When the body suffers from low sugar level due to lack of glucose regulated by insulin hormone, Ginseng can help to improve the sugar level.

On the other hand, if the sugar level increases significantly, ginseng can help to lower it.

As we've seen above, ginseng works as a glucose regulator in the body by maintaining the level of glucose to a balanced rate.

However, you can't use the herb as a substitute for drugs. It should only be used as a supplemental food in treating diabetes. And remember always consult with your doctor first before making decision.
