Herbal Remedies

You've heard of the humble walnut...yet, did you know that walnuts contain fats and are not good if you are trying to lose weight.

The good news from Loma Linda University research published an article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that showed walnuts lower cholesterol more than fish.

On the other hand fish lowers your triglycerides more than walnuts...

So what is the message here?

Eat a few walnuts a day and don’t over do it...eat fish 2 – 3 times a week, if you can. If you can’t eat fish this frequently, then take a fish oil supplement every day.

If you’re still wanting to lose weight, here are a few ideas...

Here are two natural remedies that can help you lose a few pounds, the first on is Garcinia Cambogia, which is found in a few diet supplements.

Cambogia can suppress appetite and boost metabolism. To do this a high dose is necessary and some diet pills do not provide this. Remember that not all herbal pills work for everyone in the same way.

Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit that has a powerful extract call Hydroxycitric Acid, HCA.HCA has the following properties:

• Increases metabolism

• Blocks absorption of starches and sugars

• Relieves hunger pains by increasing Serotonin

• Promotes the change of existing fat into energy

• Blocks the conversion of excess carbohydrates into fat

Look for this natural herbal remedy in your weight loss pills.

The second nutrient that you need for weight loss is Chromium. This mineral helps you to maintain normal blood sugar levels. If you eat excess sweets make sure you supplement with chromium.

The dose recommended for Garcinia Cambogia is 400 mg per day and for chromium 500 mcg.

Citrus acids are said to weaken tooth enamel. However a study at the Friedrich Schiller University in Germany found that eating grapefruit every day can help reduce bleeding gums and reduce gum disease.

If you are not using turmeric in your food, you are loosing out on many health benefits.

Turmeric is an Indian spice that provides joint support, skin health, and digestive aid. One of the ingredients in turmeric is curcumin.

Curcumin supports joint health, lower cholesterol, and good blood and liver functions. It also is one of the strongest antioxidants available. It is 3 times more powerful than grape seed or pine bark extract.

If you have concern about the health of your eye sight, then you need to supplement with special nutrients. Don’t wait until you start to lose your good eye sight before you start taking care of your eyes.
