Yacon grows in the Andes, which are a range of mountains from South America. The root looks like a sweet potato and the outside looks like a sunflower. Its most important part is the watery root. It is found from Columbia to Argentina and it has been used by native people for centuries. Now, due to its exposure in Dr. Oz's Show, people all across the globe found out about the weight loss effects of yacon syrup.

 

Yacon syrup is made by extracting the juices from the roots. These juices are then filtered and evaporated in a process that is free of any chemicals. This manufacturing process is very natural and it's very similar to the one used to make maple syrup. After a test conducted by Dr. Oz, he concluded that it's a "metabolism game changer". He asked some women to take a teaspoon of yacon syrup before each meal for a month. He also required them not to change their usual diets or habits. The average weight loss was 2.9 pounds and some lost more than five pounds. Almost three quarters of them recommended it as a weight loss tool. This is not the first study that demonstrated the advantages of yacon for weight loss but it's the most famous one as it was featured on national television in the United States. All studies performed by scientists proved that yacon syrup leads to significant changes in overall body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Some women even noticed drops in cholesterol, better digestion and improved levels of insulin. So it actually does even more than just slimming you down. All these studies are very important to determine the efficiency of yacon syrup. This all-natural healthy syrup will not only delight your taste buds, but it will help you melt down the body fat.

 

Yacon syrup contains up to 50% FOS (fructooligosaccharides) that the digestive system can't recognize and digest. When they get to the large intestine, it increases the production of important bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium so it acts like a superfiber. In the same time, it creates short-chain fatty acids that have very strong anti-obesity benefits.

 

Yacon can also regulate the function of hunger hormones and therefore reduce the appetite that leads to overeating.Yacon syrup is a reliable ally against weight loss. Eat one teaspoon of it before or with each meal. If it can do all that if you don't change your daily habits, think what it can do if you give it a hand and eat a bit healthier too. Go grab a bottle of yacon syrup and enjoy the benefits yourself.
