When I first began my journey into understanding how our
bodies work, the role of nutrition, and the difficulty of
maintaining a healthy metabolic balance because of the changes
in our modern world, I turned to experts all around the world
for the answers. From them I learned much of what I have shared
with you already about how the intricate chemical systems
within our bodies control our desire for food and process
that food into energy for immediate or later use.
I also learned from these experts about the chemicals derived
from a variety of sources that can affect how our bodies work
- for good and for ill. In the process of my research, I became
very aware of the hundreds of diet pills out in the market
claiming questionable results. In some cases, there was no
possible way for them to be effective based on the active
ingredients in many of pills! In others, the ingredients could
actually prove harmful if taken in combination with other
substances. This was when I decided I needed to direct my
energies toward developing a food supplement that was, in
no way, harmful to the body and that would work with the body's
own energy processing system to achieve the kind of metabolic
balance our ancestors enjoyed2.
Jorge Hané Herbal Supplement Works With Our
Bodies' Own Systems
There are three separate but very interrelated processes
that help to maintain our bodies:
- A process to control how much and when we need to eat
(satiety).
- A process to digest food, and turn it into energy, then
make it available to our life processes, and store the excess.
- A process to use the energy and nutrients obtained from
our food - whether at the moment the food is ingested or
later after it has been stored.
The active ingredients in Jorge Hané Herbal
Supplement work together with each of these systems to: 1)
reduce appetite, 2) reduce the "absorption" of energy
as food is digested and processed, and 3) increase energy
consumption by stimulating fat cells to release their energy
into the body. Jorge Hané Herbal Supplement has
been proven to work3
and it does so without using harmful chemicals or stimulants.
Green Tea and Java Tea
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) and java tea (Orthosiphon
stemineus) are two plants used widely in Eastern-style medicine
and do not contain the types of chemicals or compounds that
rely on elevating the metabolic rate as the main method for
encouraging weight loss4.
More than three millennia ago, the Chinese Emperor, Sin-Non,
declared that a daily cup of tea (and historical use suggests
that it was green tea) could "dissolve many poisons in
the body." Indeed, studies of green tea, in particular,
have shown that it has been linked with:5
- Enhanced immune system functioning,
- Prevention of normal cells turning cancerous,
- Suppression the formation and growth of tumors,
- Regulation of cholesterol levels,
- Reduced risk of stroke,
- Reduced control blood pressure,
- Reduced risk of epileptic seizures in laboratory animals,
- Reduced control blood sugar levels, and
- Weight loss.
While many of the claims for the value of the tea still await
further validation - I am always skeptical when one substance
is said to cure everything - there is mounting evidence that
green tea, in particular, has some very important medicinal
properties including its capability to promote weight loss.
How Jorge Hané Herbal Supplement Works
One chemical in particular found naturally in brewed green
tea6,
epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg), affects energy utilization
in the body. Animal studies7
have shown that EGCg can reduce body weight by about 20% to
30% within 2 to 7 days apparently due to EGCg-induced reduction
in food intake8.
This exciting data published only in the last two years confirms
what we have heard from people around the world who have been
using Jorge Hané Herbal Supplement safely for
over ten years. While using the product, appetites are reduced
and energy utilization in the body is increased.
In addition to this, researchers have hypothesized that a
class of naturally occurring chemicals in the green tea leaf,
polyphenols (of which EGCg is one), stimulate the process
known as lipolysis9,10.
Lipolysis is the process whereby fatty acids are released
from fat cells. This results in "fat burning." In
addition, the metabolites of this process (ketones) also help
to suppress appetite. These same polyphenols may also act
in the small intestine to reduce absorption of glucides and
lipids by partially inhibiting certain digestive enzymes.
In other words, the three processes that make up the body's
energy processing system are all affected by the chemically
active components of green tea: 1) reduced appetite, 2) reduced
"absorption" of energy as food is digested and processed,
and 3) increased energy consumption by stimulating fat cells
to release their energy into the body (lipolysis).
The other ingredient in Jorge Hané Herbal Supplement,
java tea, works to aid in removal of waste from the body's
system. Java tea infusions have been shown to have many powerful
antioxidant chemicals11
and also have reported diuretic properties12.
(Some studies have also observed mild hypoglycemic properties13,
which would also indicate that it is helpful in prevention
of weight gain.) In traditional Eastern medicine, java tea
was used as a mild natural laxative. In Jorge Hané
Herbal Supplement, the java tea helps to rid your body of
excess water."
