Ephedra-For Weight Loss
9:36 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
#.Americans are buzzing about the FDA’s recent decision to reverse the ban on Ephedra and ephedrine supplements in the United States.
#.Known as the “world’s oldest medicine” ... Ephedra has been used for thousands of years for its variety of healing properties.
#.While ephedra is not a cure-all, it has been successfully used in treating hundreds of afflictions, including some that may surprise you. When the average person hears the word “Ephedra” they may think of two things; weight loss and banned.
#,Yet there are millions of people who have safely used ephedra to burn fat and lose weight, who were devastated when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration imposed a ban on ephedra in early 2004.
#.The FDA claimed a high death rate attributed to the use (or misuse) of ephedra and ephedrine — the main “active” ingredient in the ephedra plant. However, further research showed that only five of these deaths could be attributed to ephedra use, so the ban was lifted.
#.To put the number of adverse events into perspective, consider that over 12 million people were reportedly using ephedra during 1999, without any harmful side-effects.
#.Ephedra has thermogenic "fat-burning" qualities, which means it can be used to speed up your body metabolism. This natural increase in metabolism, is what results in virtually effortless weight loss and has earned ephedra the nickname “miracle fat burner.”
#.Unlike other weight loss products on the market — ephedra helps the body retain lean muscle mass. The thermogenic qualities of ephedra also improve the body’s ability to eliminate toxins (through urine and sweat), which can reduce unnecessary water retention.
#.What you may not know is that the ephedra plant has been used to treat a number of respiratory and circulatory conditions, including asthma, allergies (such as hay fever) and the common cold.
#.Ephedrine — or the synthetic equivalent called pseudoephedrine — can be found in many over-the-counter cold and allergy medications, including Sudafed. Ephedra is a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes (or dilates) blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily, and allows nasal passages to open wider.
#.In Chinese medicine, ephedra has been used for thousands of years to increase blood flow and improve circulation... Athletes have used ephedra for centuries, since it helps build muscle and burn fat.
#.Many people report increased energy and stamina while using ephedra, which increases overall athletic performance. And Ephedra is generally considered safe when adhering to the recommended doses.
#.Since ephedra is a very powerful and effective supplement, you should check with your physician before using ephedra if you have any of the following conditions:
* Anxiety
* High blood pressure
* Glaucoma
* Heart disease
Contraindication:
Do not take ephedra if you are pregnant or lactating. Check with your physician before beginning any weight loss program.
