The effects of hoodia on the central nervous system exhibit powerful potential for weight control, where behavior modification can reduce calorie intake. The San Bushmen report an energizing effect of hoodia, and they have used the plant during their strenuous hunting expeditions.
Full Details about Hoodia Gordonii - More about it
Hoodia is a genus in the plant family Apocynaceae, in the part of the family previously treated as a separate family Asclepiadaceae. They are stem succulents that can reach up to 1 m high and present exuberant flowers, often with flesh colour and strong smell.
Hoodias are protected plants, typical of the Namib Desert, ranging from Central Namibia to southern Angola, especially in plains and rocky areas.
Scientists from the South African Council for Scientific And Industrial Affairs (CSIR) set to find out. In their study they discovered that animals given Hoodia lost weight without any apparent side effects. Your brain is "tricked" into thinking there is enough energy (blood glucose) and doesn't need to eat.
Hoodia can be an important part of your weight loss program. Hoodia not only curbs appetite for food, but it suppresses thirst as well. Even if you don’t feel like it, drink plenty of water: about eight to ten glasses a day.
