Weight Loss Help!!

After many years of research, I have come across 3 main areas that people struggle with in their battle to lose excess weight.

• Appetite and cravings
• Energy and exercise
• Drinking enough water

There are 3 herbs that I have identified to help in these areas, they can be purchased alone to target a specific concern or as a formula called “Naturally Slender” for weight loss.  Overtime “Naturally Slender” may – lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, strengthen adrenals, enhance immunity, suppress appetite, increase energy and mental alertness.  Do not take if you are already taking medication for heart disease, first consult with a doctor or pharmacist.

Hoodia has been used by the bushmen for a very long time, they use it before embarking on long hunting journeys to keep them from being distracted by hunger.  It is an effective appetite suppressant and will help stop those unwanted cravings and the need to overindulge.

Siberian Ginseng increases stamina and strength, helps with weakness and exhaustion and may lower blood sugar.  It has been used in the treatment of irritability, insomnia and mild depression.  This will go a long way to help boost energy and get you on the move again.

Hawthorn is a great cardiovascular tonic.  It lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels and restores the heart muscle.  Hawthorn decreases fat deposit levels and is useful for anemia and circulatory disorders.  Do not take Hawthorn if you are already taking medication for heart disease, first consult with a doctor or pharmacist.

Here are some more tips that will help you on your weight loss journey:

• Eat clean, food prepared by yourself.  Cut out fast, convenient foods and reduce sugar intake eg fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolate.
• Increase your water intake, work towards at least 8 glasses a day.  Herbal teas are a great way to increase your fluid intake.
• We were made to move so try to be more active, 10 000 steps are actually the minimum we should do per day.  If you don’t enjoy exercise, just be more mindful of moving eg walk around while waiting for the kettle to boil or while brushing teeth – find ways of working it into your daily routine.
• Be kind to yourself!  The weight did not appear overnight, and it is healthier for it to slowly come off.

Remember when using herbal formulations, they take time to bring about balance in the body, it is not a quick fix but rather a long-term fix.  It requires a change in lifestyle to maintain.  There is no magic formula to live a sedentary life, eat junk food and be healthy and slim.  These herbs are there to support you during this transition.  You can do it!!
