Discovering the Benefits of Conjugated Linoleic Acid

But did you know there are other health benefits as well?

Before we go into the benefits of CLA, let’s first look at what it is.

Conjugated linoleic acid is a fatty acid found in beef and dairy fats; it can be found in:

• Whole milk
• Butter
• Beef and
• Lamb.

Cows that graze in pastures have a much higher amount of the acid than cows that are fed grains, hay, etc.

There are many benefits of CLA that are weight loss related.

These include:

• An increased metabolism
• Decreased abdominal fat and
• Increased lean muscle.

Other benefits of CLA include:

• That it lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Lowers insulin resistance
• Reduces food allergy reactions and
• Boosts your immune system.

In addition, conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to have cancer-fighting properties, inhibiting formation and growth.

Some evidence exists showing that another of the benefits of CLA is that it helps normalize glucose metabolism, which could be beneficial for those with pre-diabetes or a family history of diabetes.

The use of CLA for health benefits, particularly in supplement form, is too new to have research that clearly shows the risks or side effects.

Further research is also needed to truly show a pattern with the benefits of CLA.

Of course, as with any weight loss supplement, the pill is only one component of your plan.

Even with the weight loss properties of CLA, you need to include a healthy diet and exercise plan.

You can lose weight and overcome obesity by using conjugated linoleic acid as a tool to reach your goals.

The other tools you need to use is the steps below.

• Incorporate a proven, complete nutritional program into your daily life.
• Enhance your nutritional program with a complete mutivitamin supplement because no nutritional program is perfect.
• Use a behavior modification and motivational program that will help you stay on track with your nutritional plan.
• Exercise at home with your own:
  Treadmill

  Stairstepper

  Exercise bike

  Elliptical trainer

  Hand weights or

  An aerobic video.

• See what kinds of weight loss aids your health insurance covers such as:
  Hypnotism

  Gym membership discounts

  Nutritional counseling.

As with any herbal supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure that using a weight loss aid doesn’t interfere with any other medications or supplements you are taking.

So, go ahead. Follow the steps above to start losing weight right now.

They work. I guarantee it!
