Some pretty bad news have alerted the coffee addicts out there when I man in his forties recently died of caffeine overdose after going through a whole pack of Energy mints. Ok, this is probably very rare, (hence it made the newsheadlines), however it is good to question those ingredients.
I have come across many clients willing to drink or take supplements
incredibly high in caffeine and stimulants to make them lose weight faster. Thermogenics
are those products full of stimulants like caffeine , that increase the
metabolism in an artificial way. They are full of natural ingredients such as
yerba mate, guarana, black tea, coffee . They claim to be the solution to the
muffin tops and are called fat
burners . In America the weight loss business is huge, and many of
these magic formulas come from there. Of course, they have a much wider
population bordering the morbid obesity. So easy to sell them the magic pill! One
thing you should know, is that this products are not reviewed by Health Authorities before they are sold in
the market , unlike drugs. Unless a health risk is found later on.
Raspberry Ketones, African Mango... every year a new incredible formula full of even more incredible claims and empty promises from those laboratories.
Fact N.1--> Fast weight loss= Fast weight gain
Fact N.2--> Magic pills that claim to make you lose weight are never the main
reason why you will lose real weight. Diet
and exercise will do it. Some supplements might give you the 5% extra kick for some
results , but not the 95%.
Fact N.3--> Your body is a temple, don´t mess with it.
And because I say that knowledge is power(only if you do something
with it), I want to share with you a wonderful Scientific library that is a
great source to get real independent evidence based information from
research. It is probably the biggest database of this kind, for unbiased
healthcare decisions. So next time you
are in doubt of some benefits or effects of certain supplements (or any other
health related issue) go and do a search in Cochrane. You will be suprised!
