There are many popular recipes for weight loss. For some reason, many women have little faith in the fact that for weight loss, it's enough to just limit yourself to nutrition and make your life a little more mobile. They want to certainly attract some additional forces - decoctions of herbs or anything in this spirit. However, sometimes it works well - but only as an additional tool. But are the folk remedies effective for losing weight?
To begin with, we will understand what the recipes of weight loss are from people's methods. In general, initially in Russia no one watched the weight: women gave birth to 6-9 children (what kind of figure is it) and farmed from morning to late at night, and according to the thickness of men even judged about his well-being - it was believed that if a person is full, then he is rich, because he can afford to eat well. That is why it is unlikely that "folk ways of losing weight" came to us from the depths of the centuries - before people simply did not care about this business, and the ideals of beauty were far from modern.
Those folk methods of weight loss, which we can find now, are divided into several groups:
- Diuretic herbal preparations (burdock, plantain, horsetail, cowberry leaf, bear ears, etc.). It is believed that expelling liquid from the body, you can drive out toxins, and thus reduce weight. In fact, diuretics should be used only on the advice of a doctor in the case of certain diseases. If you use them as folk remedies for rapid weight loss, you can not only earn dehydration, but also wash many minerals and trace elements, which will certainly affect the work of internal organs and well-being.
- Herbs with a slight laxative effect (anise, sea buckthorn, cumin, rhubarb, licorice, dill, bark buckthorn, etc.). Use a laxative, albeit of natural origin, as a recipe for folk medicine for weight loss is also quite strange. Yes, it will cleanse the bowels one by one, but continuing to eat as usual, you will clog it back in a matter of days and your 1-2 kilos, which you lost weight, will return. And if you drink such funds constantly, you can achieve only an intestinal disorder.
- Herbs choleretic (immortelle, barberry, dandelion, milk thistle, corn stigmas, volostushka, etc.). If you have problems with the liver - fees with such herbs and really a good way out. However, if your liver functions well, then why help her? Of course, this will slightly increase the metabolism, but it is better to use the herbs for direct purposes.
- Plants and herbs of folk medicine for weight loss, dulling appetite (bran, flax seeds, angelica, althea root, alga spirulina). This is a more realistic way to help the body in losing weight. Bran and flax seeds are an excellent source of fiber, from the lack of which the modern man suffers. If you replace your usual afternoon tea or dinner with a glass of yogurt with such an additive - you will not feel hunger, significantly reduce the caloric content of your diet and certainly lose weight. So you can eat almost constantly. Some herbal decoctions have a similar effect.
- Folk herbs for weight loss, dispersing metabolism (rosemary,
ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, eleuterococcus and ginseng). This is another great way to help yourself in the fight against obesity. It is necessary to brew the most affordable option for you and drink a decoction of half a glass 20 minutes before eating. Thanks to this approach, you will accelerate the metabolism, and your body will not save calories "in reserve".
Losing weight with the help of folk remedies does not mean the preservation of the usual diet. It is important to help the body restore the metabolism not only with a drink, but also with a lifestyle. It's so easy to walk an extra stop, eat from a small plate or garnish with meat instead of mashed potatoes, and cabbage or fresh vegetables.
