Hoodia - How Does it Work?
Hoodia Godonii is that infamous cactus-type plant that has been said to contain the wonders of appetite suppression. Even a popular news anchor said that when she tried pure hoodia, she noticed a marked decrease in her appetite, and even in her thirst. You see, the hoodia cactus, or succulent plant, has been used for years and years by a group of men in Africa called the San bushmen, a tribe that largely relies on men to go out and hunt and gather their food. Hoodia works by sending signals of fullness to the brain through a molecule contained in the plant.
On days long excursions to bring food back to their families, the bushmen would take this plant and eat it. They used it because somehow they had discovered that the plant suppressed hunger when it was eaten, or taken in to the blood stream somehow (eating is one of the best ways to do that).
They found that they did not need to eat or drink as much on their hunting and gathering excursions, so they had to take less with them, and this didn’t slow them down like it used to. After all, eating and drinking takes time and energy away from the tast at hand, and they were all business!
So now, in modern day society, we find ourselves not looking for appetite suppressants like hoodia to help us hunt and gather without interruption and diversion, but to help us shed weight because we are no longer a hunting and gathering society, food is all too readily available for most of us, and the irony is that we are now trying to find things like the hoodia plant to curb our hunger so that we eat less, to lose weight.
Does hoodia work though? Well, yes, I can tell you it does. I’ve taken pure hoodia and the supplement definitley makes a noticeable difference in appetite, and it even did make a differency in my constant thirst for water - a first for me, since I am always thirsty! The hoodia gum I used produced a constant stream of the magic little molecule that curbs hunger, and I went the whole day with eating and snacking less, so yes it does work and it is easy to use.
