Drainage and weight control
I would like to lose weight, and my problem depends mainly on nutrition. Which products can help me?
When eating poorly and too much at meals, products that can help weight loss are those made from plant polysaccharides (commonly called fiber) that can swell readily in the stomach to promote the onset of a ready satiating effect and reduce the absorption of what is introduced at main meals. It is important to drink both before taking the product but also throughout the day.
I am perpetually on a diet but nevertheless cannot lose weight. What do you recommend?
In this case, more than intervening on nutrition, one should try to increase energy expenditure. In addition to introducing into your lifestyle, some physical activity to boost your metabolism, you can use in combination specific products that thanks to their ingredients can promote greater energy expenditure. In this case, there are plant extracts such as Green Tea, Bitter Orange that, again combined with a proper and varied diet, can contribute to weight loss
Are there any side effects and/or contraindications to the use of these products?
It is always good to ascertain any warnings on the packaging. Normally products of this type, which may be supplements or medical devices, do not present particular problems when used, but when in doubt it is always a good idea to seek advice first from your doctor or pharmacist.
Can they be taken for long periods?
When used correctly, in conjunction with a balanced, low-calorie diet, and some physical activity, the products can be taken until the desired weight is achieved. It is always good to properly hydrate the body and never make your diet plan lack fruits and vegetables.
I feel bloated, what can I do?
If the swelling occurs with sudden weight gain, without having varied one’s eating habits, or is localized at the level of, abdomen, feet, legs, manu, it could be increased fluid retention. In such a case, a product with draining activity might be useful to help reduce excess fluids.
Can I combine a draining agent with a weight-loss product?
The combination certainly allows for a more complete action. Clearly, it is important to do well throughout the day so as not to dehydrate the body but only promote the reduction of excess fluids.
If I suffer from low blood pressure, can I take a drain?
Yes, as long as you drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day. The goal of draining products is to promote the elimination of excess fluids and with them any waste that may have accumulated, without dehydrating the body.
I have been having hot flashes since I went through menopause. I would like to deal with them naturally. What do you recommend?
Soy is a source of phytoestrogens, which are substances that mimic the action of female hormones in a softer way. Particularly with fermentation, it is possible to enrich the composition of soybeans with even more valuable new phytoestrogens. So in addition to introducing soy preparations into the diet, it is possible to use dietary supplements that provide fermented soy.
How long should I take these products?
Menopausal symptoms can last for years. In any case, it would be helpful to be able to take fermented soy products for at least 3 months in order to take full advantage of their activity. After 3 months, it is possible to continue in treatment or try discontinuing to see if the symptoms reappear. If so, one can resume taking the product.
Can they also be good for bones?
Certainly it is important, not only when you are already in menopause but preventively, to take care of your diet by favoring foods rich in Calcium and Vitamin D3, such as yogurt, cheeses (choosing from the lowest-fat ones), milk (semi-skimmed), fish, cereals. Yes, because these products, in addition to fermented soybeans, can also provide useful nutrients for maintaining normal bones, such as Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2.
After how long do you see the first benefits?
With fermented soy, you start to see the first improvements already after the first few weeks of intake.
Besides taking the product, what else do you recommend I do to optimize its effectiveness?
Take care of your diet, also paying attention to your caloric intake because with menopause sometimes your metabolism changes and you tend to gain weight more easily. Always prioritize the consumption of fruits and vegetables and those foods rich in calcium and vitamin D3, practice some physical activity on a constant and regular basis. The latter exerts a positive effect on bone well-being.
Menopause and women
Cold and the immune system
I often get sick during the winter season. Is there anything that can help me to strengthen defenses?
There are products (dietary supplements) made from Echinacea, both purpurea and angustifolia, fortified with specific nutrients, such as Zinc and Vitamin C, that can help strengthen the body’s physiological defenses.
How long should I take them for?
Ideally, intake should begin with the arrival of the bad season, and continue steadily and regularly in the following months.
How can I tell if the cough is dry or oily?
Production of phlegm identifies the cough as oily, otherwise it can be considered dry. In both cases plant extracts such as Gridelia, Plantain or plants rich in mucilage may be helpful.
When I have a sore throat, my voice often goes away and I struggle to recover it. Is there anything natural that can help me?
Yes, traditional Propolis preparations, for example, fortified with Erisimus extract, which is also used by singers, can be useful for the purpose.
