Can Ganoderma help me lose weight?

Below are four factors of Ganoderma which improve your chances of weight reduction.

 

1) Ganoderma is known to increase the rate of metabolism.

As your metabolic rate increases, your body uses more energy to digest food more effectively.  To this increased demand for energy the body uses more calories and fat deposits in your body.   This, clearly, can result in weight management.

 

2) Ganoderma also contains polysaccharides, which a powerful component that resides as a detoxifying agent and enhances the body’s ability to heal and improve digestion.  All these factors can cause weight loss.

 

3) Ganoderma lucidum has been known to control your hormones.  If your hormones are misaligned, due to hypothyroidism or some other condition, then your weight will increase.  Ganoderma can put your hormones in balance, so that any weight, which you acquired as a result of hormonal imbalance, sheds.

 

4) Ganoderma also improves blood flow.

Improved circulation can help to remove the excess water in your body and thus some have  an increase in weight due to water retention.  Hence though Ganoderma doesn’t appear to cause weight management directly, the effect is even better: weight management and improved health!

Of course, if you are perfectly healthy with no imbalances, then most likely you will not lose any weight with Ganoderma.  With Ganoderma, the body can be healthy and in balance, and thus prevent you from weight gain in the future.
