Do Natural Weight Loss Nutrition Supplements
Work?
Natural weight loss nutrition supplements contain natural ingredients
that supposedly stimulate the body’s metabolism or suppress your
appetite to aid in weight loss.
Among the more common natural weight loss nutrition supplements are
ingredients like green tea, ephedra and hoodia.
But do these natural supplements really work for weight loss?
As with all diet products the caveat from suppliers is that they won’t
do much for you unless you combine them with proper diet and exercise.
However, research suggests that they can have an impact on the
metabolism, which in turn aids weight loss. Green tea and ephedra are
both high in caffeine, so beware about combining them because overdoes
of caffeine can be bad for your health and result in several unwanted
side effects.
Green Tea
Green Tea stimulates your body’s metabolism, spurs weight loss and
decreases hunger by boosting production of noradrenaline, an appetite
suppressing hormone. You can find green tea in natural weight loss
nutrition supplements, or in any supermarket in the tea and coffee
isle. It is not just a weight loss supplement, but has for centuries
been a traditional beverage in China. Green tea can be served
hot or cold. Try it with honey or low glycemic blue agave. Green tea
has numerous proven health benefits whether or not you need to lose
weight. As a weight loss supplement, try a dose of 50 mg three times a
day before eating.
Ephedra
Ephedra, like tea, is a herb which has been proven to increase your
metabolism and reduce hunger. It works in much the same way as green
tea, by stimulating your metabolism along with the production of
noradrenaline. Many supplements combine Ephedra and Green Tea for a
powerful metabolic stimulant. Ephedra, though, has had its critics and
does not enjoy the reputation that Green Tea has for being a healthy
addition to one’s diet. On the contrary, a report published in 2000
linked ephedra to seizures and heart attacks. Ongoing research may
eventually clear the drug of its ill-gotten reputation, but as of
today, caution is recommended with this supplement.
Hoodia
Perhaps the most famous, of the nutritional weight loss supplements to
hit the market in recent years is the precious and rare hoodia. So far
today, the hoodia plant, which resembles a cactus, has only be found in
South Africa. It is a powerful appetite suppressant that is used by
tribesmen on their long, arduous journeys to hunt for food. No side
effects are known. Hoodia sells because it works. Those who use it
testify that it really does suppress hunger.
You can buy natural weight loss nutrition supplements in most
drugstores, health food stores and supermarkets. You can also shop on
line. If you use them, read and follow any special instructions that
are on the package, don’t combine different supplements unless your
doctor has informed you that it is safe, and seek professional medical
advice if you ever experience unusual or uncomfortable symptoms that
you think might be related to the use of supplements.
