Best Herbs for Weight Loss: Can It Realy Help You?

There are certain weight loss herbs that can assist in fat loss. In addition, much of the extra weight that people carry is often in the form of clogged up and impacted fecal matter in the colon, as well as water retention. Some herbs act on digestion, metabolism, or appetite to impact weight loss. Certain substances can increase thermogenesis, or metabolism, which may lead to weight loss.

Herbs are plant extracts that are being used to treat hundreds of ailments and conditions, including excess weight. Although they are only just gaining popularity in the West, they have long been a health maintenance staple in many other parts of the world.

I don’t have to tell you that there isn’t such thing as a pill or remedy out there that will magically make the pounds melt away, but herbs can promote weight loss in a variety of ways. The action of certain herbs “trick” the brain into thinking the stomach is full, while others function thermogenically (speed up the body’s metabolism).

Green Tea Contributes to Weight Loss:

It sounds too good to be true: could green tea really help us to lose weight? In fact, studies show that the caffeine and polyphenols in green tea increase thermogenesis, the rate at which calories are burned, and therefore raises metabolism.

Raising metabolism causes the body to burn more calories, which in turn can lead to weight loss. In addition, research indicates that green tea consumption activates a higher rate of fat oxidation, which can also help weight loss.

Lose Weight With Cayenne:

The main ingredient of Cayenne is capsaicin and it is said to be a thermogenic chemical which can help in speeding up the metabolism. It actually even works much faster than the green tea. Cayenne can also help in repressing ones appetite. If you sprinkle cayenne on your food, it can fuel your digestion and speed up the metabolism on a much safer intensity.

Cayenne can raise your metabolism up to 25%, thus it improves your digestion and prevents gas, nausea and indigestion. A person, who uses Cayenne as their weightloss herb aide, should start drinking it at least three times a day for the next two weeks, then would need to maintain it at least twice a day.

Calamondin: Weight Loss Herb

Among Filipinos, sumptuous meals would be incomplete if there are no seasonings available to enhance, supplement and complement the aroma. The most common condiment in any Philippine dine set is Toyo’t Kalamansi (soy sauce with calamansi or calamondin). This combination gives an umami flavor. The saltiness of soy sauce is being balanced by the sourness of the calmansi extract.

However, the plant is more than a flavor enhancer; it is also a medicinal one as well as a weight loss herb. Calamondin also known as acid orange, Chinese orange and Panama orange obviously is a citrus plant of the Rutaceae family. It is the smallest orange that one can imagine perhaps it is less than an inch in diameter.

Weight Loss Herbs as Culinary Ingredient:

Perhaps, you are wondering if weight loss herbs do really work. Instead of worrying if this works or not, why not consider combining your weight loss herbs to your favorite meals and see how your diet will change.

If you want your food to be spicy, limit your use of hot sauce or packed chili pepper. Instead use cayenne peppers. You can cut it off lengthwise into two. Remove the seeds and put it into blender. It is not only fresh and natural. You can also consume pure capsaicin. This chemical compound will help you burn fats especially along the digestive tract and in your chin areas.
