Your Natural Health Place - "Losing Weight? - Go Natural Herbal"

These days, there is a enormous  need for obese Americans
to lose those excess pounds the Natural health way. Being
healthy would not only lead them to have a healthier lifestyle
but it will also literally ease their load,  and enrich their overall
well-being.

There is a extensive  list of dieting options available. There are
exercise programs, exercise machines, nutritional supplements,
dietary food and drinks, diet pills - there are even soaps which
claim to help you lose pounds while you bathe.

One other available alternative to shed off those superfluous
pounds is to  go herbal.

Herbal weight loss products have been in great demand for
people who want to lose weight the natural way. However,
when you take herbal supplements to drop weight, you would
have to wait for a longer time for the results because of
the more subtle effects of medicines which came from
plants and natural herbs.

Here are some herbal weight loss options that you might
want to think about:

1.   Herbal weight loss products

There are a lot of herbal weight loss products available in
the market now.A  quick  check  online will reveal a lot
of herbal weight loss pills and products.

Be careful, however, as there are some products which
claim to be safe and natural because they are herbal,
but some actually have  side effects because of the
lackof research or testing on the effects of these products.

Here are some ingredients and chemicals which make
up some  herbal weight loss products that you should
watch out for, as they might have harmful effects to
your health:

>  Senna.
This is an herbal laxative. Senna is a main ingredient in
weight loss teas, and it works by stimulation the colon.
The downside effect of this herb is dehydration. It can
also lead to colon problems and can become addictive.
Some people, when addicted, are unable to perform
bowel movements without it, so watch out.

>  Chromium picolinate.
This is a synthetic compound found in herbal weight
loss products. Chromium is a nutrient which helps
regulate blood-sugar level.  However, this ingredient,
when taken in high doses, may cause damage in the
chromosomes. It can also lead to dehydration.

>  St. John's Wort.
This supplement increases the production of a chemical
in the brain. If not used properly, it may cause eye and
skin sensitivity, mild gastrointestinal distress, fatigue and
itching.

Although a lot of herbal products claim to be safe and
natural, it is better to scrutinize the ingredients and
research about the effects of the product itself before
going for these herbal dietary pills.

2.  Organic food.

In Wichita, Kansas, organic food has found its way
to more homes and restaurants. Organic food devotees
believe that consuming organic goodies help their bodies
as well as the environment.

A person who buys organically raised eggs and
vegetables claim to be healthier, and they are not
spending money on doctors and prescriptions as these
keep them healthier and away from the hospital. This
could also be an option for weight watchers, as organic
food is known to be kinder to your weight than
chemically-processed food products.

3. Green Tea.

Studies show that intake of green tea, or green tea
extracts burns extra calories. Also, green tea with
caffeine can increase fat burning by up to 40%
thereby reducing fat.

This is one good option for those who want to lose
weight. In a study done, people who took green tea
were found to lose 2 to 3 times more weight than those
who did not drink green tea.

These results show that green tea is a natural product
for the treatment of obesity. Thus, it also makes for a
healthier dietary option, not to mention the good effects
that it has on the body as compared to caffeine. A cup
of tea gives an emmediate energy lift without the side
effects of caffeine.

3. Caffeine.

Coffee provides an energy boost to increase fat burning.
Caffeine also provides a likelihood to be active, which
in turn increases your rate of calorie burn.

4. Immortality Herb

This herb, whose scientific name is Gymnostemna
Pentaphyllum, is known to have the following benefits:

>  increases healthy blood flow
>  reduces artery blocks
>  aids healthy blood pressure

is apple cider vinegar. Here are the benefits of taking this
herbal option:

>  weight loss

In conclusion , it is obvious that there is  definitely a
place in weight loss for the Natural Health Herbal
