Here’s how kokum can help you lose weight

Losing weight can be a tough thing to do and most of us need a helping hand every now and then. If you are looking for something to make that journey easier, here is a home remedy that can help — kokum water.

How does it help?

Kokum is great for your digestion, and is commonly used to treat ailments like constipation, acidity and flatulence. Apart from that, kokum also contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which acts as a great appetite suppressant. It also helps prevent the conversion of sugars into fats. Most importantly, it helps hinder the process of lipogenesis — where fatty acids are synthesised.

How to use it?

Take about 20 grams of kokum and soak it in a glass of water overnight. You can add some horse gram to the mix to help hasten the weight loss process.  The next morning boil the mixture for 10 minutes and strain out the liquid. If you feel the decanted liquid is too pungent, you can choose to add some honey to the mix. Drink this mixture once every day on an empty stomach.

Caution: This is a home remedy and must not be used in place of proper medical advice. Also, this remedy will take time to show results so do not expect to lose weight instantly.
