The latest USA statistics show that 58 million people are overweight and 40 million people are obese, with 3 million people being morbidly obese. 8 of 10 people over the age of 25 are overweight. In the UK, statistics show that 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight. That shows that obesity and overweight are practically epidemic – and they are diseases, because being overweight leads to diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and a host of other related problems, including an early death.
The other problem with being overweight is a social one. Long before “skinny” became fashionable, fat people have been the butt of innumerable jokes.
With “Slim & Fit” being today’s watchwords, making friends, finding partners and even getting ahead in one’s career are all hampered by that excess weight.
But now we have hoodia gordonii. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. The San tribes or Bushmen of the Kalahari have eaten it for centuries to suppress feelings of hunger, when their food supplies were low and they needed to go on long hunting expeditions.
The South African government along with a British pharmaceutical company researched hoodia gordonii, and after years of study, they were able to isolate the active ingredient from the inner flesh of the plant, a molecule they named P57.
P57 imitates the action of glucose in the body. It has a direct effect on the hypothalamus, a region in the brain that monitors hunger, thirst and blood sugar. It causes the brain to register the body has eaten, even though no food has been taken. Since P57 is 10,000 times more active than glucose – you can imagine how efficient it is at fooling the brain.
Hoodia gordonii is now available in capsules and tablets. Unlike other diet pills, hoodia gordonii has shown no side effects at all. It is not a stimulant, and neither is it addictive. On the contrary, the patients who have tried pure hoodia gordonii have reported that their levels of energy remained normal and they maintained a general feeling of well-being.
The American Obesity Association, a leading authority on obesity states on their website that medication can be used to treat obesity as a part of the total treatment.
Pure hoodia can be very useful in playing a role here. At the beginning, when you are making your first changes to a low calorie diet, pure hoodia gordonii controls the hunger pangs and makes it much easier to stay with the regime. It controls the old cravings and bad habits that ruined all past endeavors, and once you are well set in your new diet, habits and lifestyle, the hoodia gordonii can be eased off. Of course, should you ever find yourself slipping back into old habits, the hoodia gordonii is right there to help you control yourself.
Unlike other diet pills with their side effects, pure hoodia gordonii is a natural plant and perfectly safe to take. It will not only help you lose weight, but more importantly, hoodia gordonii helps you maintain it – naturally.
