SLAM THE DOOR on weight gain… and REFUSE to be ‘fattened up’!
“A moment on the lips… a lifetime on the hips.”
If that old saying HAUNTS you like it does me…
And it feels as though EVERY BITE could be another step towards your weight spinning out of control…
I’ve got good news for you today.
Because there’s a superfood… one with more than 4,000 years of traditional use… that could help make mealtime GUILT-FREE.
It’s practically EXPLODING with nutrients…
And yet it could help SHRINK your fat stores… even in STUBBORN areas, like around your middle!
It’s a common vegetable in Southeast Asia with powerful medicinal qualities…
But it’s only JUST started to get attention in the West.
Here’s why it may be worth doing a little digging to find it… especially if you’re worried about managing a healthy weight.
Turn ‘forever fat’ into ‘never fat’
Nicknamed “the miracle tree” and “the tree of life,” the moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) has leaves that are SO nutritious…
They’re as commonly found on dinner plates as in doctors’ offices!
Well, not in THIS country…
But in India, the tree’s native land.
That’s where it has been used in the ancient medicinal practice of Ayurveda for THOUSANDS of years… and is known as “sigru.”
The Ayurvedic tradition considers moringa detoxifying… warming… and energizing…
And it seems to help promote weight management by supporting healthy…
- blood sugar
- insulin sensitivity
- fat accumulation, and
- thyroid function.
All of the above factors are CRUCIAL to maintaining a healthy weight… especially if the food you eat isn’t IMMEDIATELY converted into fat deposits (a.k.a. adipogenesis)!
And in a 2016 study out of Bangladesh, animals that consumed moringa significantly REDUCED their body-mass index (BMI), as compared to the obese control group that ate the same high-fat diet.
But according to a 2018 animal study out of Egypt, moringa does even more.
It BALANCES the gut microbiome to RESTORE healthy levels of inflammation!
And that could be a root cause of excessive weight gain.
Moringa leaves may get their medicinal power from the presence of a group of compounds known as isothiocyanates… including one unique to moringa, called moringin.
You may have heard of isothiocyanates as the active ingredient in cruciferous veggies like broccoli and Brussels sprouts…
Which are actually RELATED to moringa!
In fact, some parts of the moringa tree have that same pungent quality that comes from the presence of a kind of mustard oil… which has earned it the nickname “horseradish tree.”
You can find fresh moringa leaves… teas made out of dried leaves or seeds… or moringa powder at your local Asian specialty store.
Moringa powder supplements may also be sold at your local health food store or online.
The most recent research has revealed weight loss in real people by combining moringa with curry leaf and curcumin… in a patented extract known as Adipromin.
In one study, obese folks who consumed this herbal blend lost 166% more weight than the placebo group… and lowered their BMIs 169% more than the controls.
And that weight loss was significant starting in just 2 weeks.
To dropping fat like a bad habit,
