Bitter Melon (Gourd) Weight Loss

Bitter melon, also known as bitter gourd, is an Asian fruit. It can also be found in Africa and the Caribbean. It is helpful for those who are trying to lose weight. Bitter melon has so many nutrients and benefits. Here are the weight loss benefits you may experience:
  • Regulation of insulin
  • Improved digestion
  • Suppresses appetite
  • Detox
The processed foods that we eat reduce our bodies sensitivity to insulin. In short, we will end up storing a lot of extra fat. If you eat processed foods, you can bet that your body is doing this right now. This will also cause you to be hungry shortly after eating.

The main reason bitter melon helps with weight loss is because it restores your body's sensitivity to insulin. If you are eating processed foods, I urge you to take some herbal supplement that will do this for you. You will have a hard time losing weight on your own without it, because your body is working against you.

The next way bitter melon helps with weight loss is by improving your digestion. Irregular digestion is a cause for weight gain. Most people don't have regular digestive systems and this will cause extra weight. Bitter melon also helps detoxify your body.

Our bodies have loads of toxins that come from everything including the air we breathe to those processed foods I was telling you about. These toxins being present in your body will make weight loss difficult for you because your liver will end up working over time. Then, your liver will not be able to commit it's time to ridding the body of excess fat.

You can take bitter melon any way you choose. There is the fruit itself, juice, and supplements. Swanson Vitamins has some bitter melon supplements that you can look at if you are interested. I haven't tried them yet, but the reviews are good. As always, the price is perfectly affordable.
