Aug 17, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Certain plants are thought to be helpful in curbing appetite and burning fat. There is evidence that these plants, combined with a sensible eating plan and regular exercise, may help you to lose those extra pounds and achieve a healthier lifestyle.

>GINENG

Ginseng's metabolism-boosting properties may help with weight loss.
it may be related to its ability to boost metabolism and that this may help dieters burn more calories. Metabolism slows down in overweight individuals, and the extra calories they consume aren't burned off.

Ginseng is thought to increase the metabolic rate, which translates into less body fat. Ginseng is available commercially in capsule form or as tea.

>Hoodia

Found in Africa's Kalahari Desert, the Hoodia gordonii cactus is reportedly used as an appetite suppressant by the region's native bushmen on long treks.hoodia contains a substance that tricks humans into thinking they're full. Hoodia can be purchased in capsule form or as a tea.

>Garlic

Garlic is thought to be a powerful appetite suppressant.

The not so secret ingredient that flavors soups and sauces, garlic's nutritional properties are also no secret. Like the onion, garlic is a member of the allium plant family, and its weight-loss benefits stem from its high concentrations of allicin, which is believed to suppress appetite. Garlic is the only alleged diet aid that is completely safe to eat. It's readily available in its natural form, or as garlic oil, garlic powder, or odorless capsules for those who aren't fond of its intense flavor and smell.

>Green Tea

Green tea comes from the same plant as black tea, Camellia sinensis, but a difference in processing changes the chemical composition,
The polyphenols in green tea may help the body burn fat.

>Garcinia Cambogia

Garcinia cambogia grows in India, where its fruit is a regular ingredient in chutneys and curry dishes. The rind contains hydroxycitric acid--HCA--which may speed up metabolism and suppress your appetite.

>Evening Primrose

Evening primrose grows throughout the United States. The seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid usually abbreviated as GLA.The researchers found that GLA helps people to keep weight off after a major weight loss.

>Stevia

Stevia, a plant that grows in Paraguay, contains a 0-calorie natural sweetener that is 250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. While it doesn't contribute directly to weight loss, using stevia as a sugar substitute helps you cut calories in sweet treats.

>Yerba Mate

Yerba mate is a small evergreen shrub native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina.Caffeine's stimulant effects help to boost metabolism and suppress your appetite.

>Guarana
The primary active ingredient in guarana is caffeine. It contains 2.5 to 7 percent caffeine. By contrast, coffee contains 1 to 2 percent caffeine. If you use guarana, keep an eye on your overall caffeine intake.

>Ephedra

Ephedra is the source of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. The FDA banned the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra because of the substantial risk of illness or injury. In short, while ephedra may help you lose weight, it is not safe to use.

Therefore ,yes there are many plants and herbs that help to lose weight naturally beside a good diet plan and good exercise .
