If you are working on Weight Loss and restricting the food you eat then it is critical for you to ensure that you get enough nutrition to give your body everything it needs to keep your cells strong and to keep you healthy.
It is a great idea to use a herbal weight loss product but you need to ensure that you find something that is going to be healthy for you and that is not going to create its own problems for your health.
A top quality herbal nutrition product will include the vitamin and mineral elements that you need on a daily basis as it will allow you to keep your metabolism strong so that your body will work with you to lose weight rather than going into a defensive mode and working against your weight loss efforts.
There are a lot of herbal weight loss products available in the market now. You can check out the Internet and you will find 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 non-extensive research 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:
1. Herbal supplements.
~ Senna. This is an herbal laxative. Senna is a main ingredient in many 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 one study, 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 immediate 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. At the same time Caffeine is a diuretic and you need to increase your water intake to balance this.
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
~ increases the rate of fat burning
As with most active products you will need to be sure that you use this in the recommended dosages. If it is not included in an overall program then you should work on the principle that More Is Not Better.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar

~ weight loss
~ improved cholesterol level
