OBESITY: HERBAL HOME REMEDY


Obesity occurs as a result of complex issues, including unhealthy eating habits, lack of active physical activities/ exercise, genetic factors, frequent consumption of bad cholesterol foods, and drinks which your body is unable to burn. Besides, obesity can also be a sign of some kind of ailment in the body.
Regular exercise hastens the body’s metabolism process, thereby helping to burn off unwanted calories and high-fat deposits.

CAUSES- Other causes apart from those mentioned above include, improper digestion or indigestion, slow metabolism- when your body organs work too slow, eating late at night, menopause- it’s believed that when a woman menopause begins, her body starts to store fat at a higher rate, sedentary lifestyle

                          HEALTH CONSEQUENCES -

High blood pressure (Hypertension)
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (Dyslipidemia)
Type 2 diabetes

REMEDY- First of all, avoid eating junk foods, snack in-between meals, stop or cut down on your beer intake, then indulge in some Tommy exercise like sit-up and Tommy crunching- straining up Tommy, start this exercise little by little e.g ten sit- up the first day, twelve the following day and so forth but do not exercise just after your meal, drink much water daily.  Get some leaves of cassia occidentalis also known as senna leaves, wash and dry them properly, grind them into powder and add a teaspoon of it in a cup of hot water, allow cooling, and drink- do it morning and night.
