When We Want To Lose Weight We Can Find It Difficult.

By Nettie Vega


Food can become an obsession and snacking and secret eating can be a problem. Half the time we don't realise that we are still stuffing food into our mouths and food cravings can be a problem to control.

In addition to being a weight loss aid, saffron has many other benefits. There have been a variety of studies done on the various saffron benefits, and it has been proven that saffron not only aids weight loss, but can help with symptoms for PMS and depression.

Eating and overeating can be an emotional response to other factors in our life and it is no secret that these factors can play a large part in weight gain for many people. It is now thought that one of the causes of an inability to control cravings can be the result of decreased levels of serotonin in the body. This is a chemical which is responsible for our mood swings and emotions and low levels can lead to depression and that in turn can be a factor in weight gain. If you are a secret eater then it may be that you have low levels of serotonin.

Whilst there are therapeutic drugs available to control depression and anxiety, it is possible that serotonin levels can be helped by using saffron extract.

This is thought to boost the levels and reduce the cravings and hunger pangs responsible for much overeating and obesity. There have been some clinical studies into it and these have found some evidence to support the proposition that saffron extract might well help with these sort of problems.

Saffron extract can help to get rid of this problem by suppressing appetite and getting rid of those unwanted cravings. It helps to release a chemical in the brain called serotonin, which is what contributes to good moods.

Saffron is of course recognizable in many households as an expensive spice often used in cooking and particularly middle eastern dishes. It is actually a particular strain of the crocus flower and the stamens are collected by hand which is why it is so expensive.

Aside from being one of the fastest ways to burn fat, saffron extract can ease some of the symptoms of PMS. In a study, it was proven that participants who took a saffron extract for two consecutive menstrual cycles either had a decrease of PMS symptoms or no PMS at all.

It has also been linked to helping with insomnia in certain individuals. Saffron extract is best taken in the form of supplements.

A moderate amount of the extract is need to lose weight. By taking it once a day, the cravings will begin to decrease and an elevation in mood will happen.

For starters, people who take it will experience increased mood and energy levels. So, if you ever feel depressed or just low, in general, then this should help you out. It is also known to help relieve PMS symptoms and comes with various anti-inflammatory properties, too.

Naturally, it would be vital for you to do your research on saffron extract first and to look at other alternatives, as well. You should also keep in mind that, as with weight loss supplements, this extract will not work overnight. However, evidence does show that it can control unwanted hunger urges quite quickly if need be.
