Understanding
Hoodia:
It’s possible that the San
Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in
South Africa might have just struck
lightning in a bottle in the form
of powerful appetite suppressant
called Hoodia gordonii. Hoodia is
embraced by many because it actually
works…with no adverse side
effects.
Dubbed
the miracle plant, Hoodia gordonii
which is indigenous to South Africa
is said to contain a powerful molecule
that mimics glucose called P57,
which signals your brain into thinking
you are, full and don’t need
to eat.
This
finding has the potential of literally
bringing an end to obesity within
the entire population…an achievement
that would benefit more than 40%
of the English-speaking world who
are classified as overweight to
chronically obese.
In
their quest to stave off hunger
and maintain their focus during
long hunting trips, the San Bushmen
of the Kalahari uncovered the magic
of the prickly plant which grows
in the smoldering temperatures of
the African Kalahari desert. The
Hoodia plant has been a blessing
for the San Bushmen for many generations.
Because of Hoodia they're able to
maintain a very low body fat percentage
(11% on average), and remain unaffected
if they go without eating for long
periods of time.
How
Hoodia Works
The
hypothalamus inside your mid-brain
emits glucose sugar within the nerve
cells there. Eating food causes
blood sugar levels to escalate,
which in turn activates feeling
of “fullness” and compel
most people to stop eating. Others
either ignore the “fullness”
trigger or have a malfunctioning
hypothalamus, which causes them
to continue eating despite the signals.
According
to studies conducted at Brown
University and elsewhere,
the “miracle molecule,”
P57, within Hoodia
accelerates the glucose effect to
the extent that you feel “full”
even without eating. It actually
tricks your brain into believing
that you just ate a full meal.
Scientific
double blind laboratory tests have
proven Hoodia’s effectiveness
in both rats and humans. The rat
study confirmed that when given
Hoodia, they no longer had the urge
or desire to eat therefore they
lost weight.
In
an unprecedented human-trial study,
morbidly obese people were sequestered
in a controlled study room. They
were not permitted to exercise.
They were allowed an unlimited amount
of time to read, watch television
and eat throughout the day.
Half
the controlled study group used
Hoodia while the remainder was given
a placebo (inert material inside
the pill). The study findings revealed
that after 14 days, the Hoodia members
markedly reduced their average intake
by 1050 calories per day.
The
results are in. Hoodia is the "magic"
diet pill that will be instrumental
in helping to control the obesity
epidemic into the 21st century and
beyond.
