Burn fat while you sleep!
Eat whatever you
want and still lose weight! Don't suffer through hours of grueling
exercise to burn fat!
You've probably
heard all these phrases before but are the fat burners containing
ephedra that these claims are attached to really that effective and are
they safe?
The primary
ingredient in fat burners is the herb ephedra, also known as ma
huang, or it?s manufactured version ephedrine. It has been used in
Chinese herbal medicine quite safely and effectively for thousands of
years. It is often combined with synthetic or herbal versions of
caffeine (e.g. guarana, yerba mate or kola nut) and aspirin (e.g. white
willow bark).
But does it burn fat?
The answer to that
question is yes. Ephedra does effectively help the body to
preferentially burn fat for energy. But, according to medical studies,
there can be side effects, some of which are quite serious.
Ephedra works to burn fat through several
means.
Its chemical makeup
increases the breakdown of fatty tissue for fuel. -Its stimulatory
properties help to increase resting metabolism. This process is known as
thermogenesis, which is essentially excess heat production. You body
burns more calories simply by producing more body heat. -When ephedra is
combined with caffeine and aspirin, it may have appetite suppressant
effects. -The nervous system stimulation you get can help you maintain
your energy levels, which can aid you in your exercise program.
When used according
to instructions and in moderate doses, studies suggest that
fat-burning formulas containing ephedra, caffeine and aspirin can
be safely and effectively used to SUPPLEMENT a good fat-burning program.
