Yerba Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) Leaf – Health Benefits

PUBMED https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6339368/ (3) Anti-obesity effects of Yerba Mate (Ilex Paraguariensis): a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4583719/ Yerba Maté (YM), the plant Ilex paraguariensis, is traditionally consumed in many South American regions, but its popularity is increasing in North America, Europe, and other regions worldwide. The dried leaves of the plant Ilex paraguariensis, is currently consumed by over 1 million people worldwide, traditionally in many South American countries including Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay. More recently, Yerba Mate tea has been consumed in North America and Europe. Yerba Mate beverages are reported to have biological activities, probably due to their high polyphenol content. Phenolic compounds have long been known to possess biological functions. In addition to polyphenols such as flavonoids (quercetin and rutin) and phenolic acids (chlorogenic and caffeic acids), Yerba Mate is also rich in caffeine and saponins. Yerba Mate extracts are especially rich in chlorogenic acids that might contribute to hypocholesterolemic and weight loss effects. (3) A trend towards increased satiety, reduced hunger, and improved mood state has also been found in human participants who ingested Yerba Maté. The reported effects include improved total mood disturbance score, increased focus, alertness and energy, and decreased fatigue in habitual caffeine consumers. Modifying behavioral factors of mood state and appetite control is considered essential for effective weight-loss lifestyle interventions. (1) YM also has powerful protective properties. The results of one study using the extract of yerba mate, which was prepared in the form usually ingested by the population, were superior to those obtained with all other beverages. In addition, yerba mate presented the greatest concentration of polyphenols, followed by red wine and green tea. (2) Leptin Leptin exerts its effect on the energy balance primarily by acting in the brain. Insulin and BMI are directly related to leptin, which acts directly or by activating specific centers in the hypothalamus to decrease food intake, increase energy expenditure, regulate glucose and fat metabolism, or to change neuroendocrine function. (2) After feeding mice Yerba Mate for 4 weeks, it was observed a decrease in total cholesterol, leptin levels and blood glucose ultimately led to reducing their body weight. (3)

Ultimate Herbal SLIM – Shopping list and eating plan made easy
The central idea of the SLIM eating plan is this: Eat unprocessed natural living foods and connect directly with nature, especially air, light, and water. The list below should give you a good stock of ingredients for your ideal meals. Try to avoid getting things, not on this list i.e. processed food. You can also choose from the full range of recipes available on the quick recipe finder page click here Almond, Coconut, rice, soy, or un-homogenized whole milk Apple juice Apples/oranges Apricots Asparagus Avocado Baked beans Bananas Bea sprouts (alfalfa or mung) Beetroot (fresh or canned) Blueberries Broccoli Brown rice Cabbage red/white Capsicum Carrots Cauliflower Celery Soft Cheese (cottage or Brie)) Cherries Chickpeas (garbanzos), Dahl and lentils Chicken breast Cider vinegar Corn on the cob Courgettes Cucumber Dates, prunes, raisins, or figs Eggs Fresh herbs (a variety) Fresh fish, or canned tuna and salmon Garlic Herbal teas Herbs and spices Honey Hummus Kale Kiwifruit Kumara (sweet potato) Lemons or lemon juice Leeks Lettuce Mango, pawpaw and passionfruit Millet Mung beans for sprouting Mushrooms Nuts (mixed) Olives and Olive oil Onions Oranges Peaches Peanut butter (Raw) Pineapple Potatoes Pumpkin Quinoa Raspberries Rolled oats (for porridge) Sunflower and pumpkin seeds Silverbeet Spinach Spring onions Squeezed orange juice Strawberries Tomatoes (fresh and canned) Tomato juice Unsweetened yogurt All other whole vegetables and fruit are allowed Meal Recommendations These are my favourite suggestions. In the morning: Choose a smoothie from our recipe page or try some fruit and yoghurt. You could have ‘rolled oats porridge’ or ‘eggs on raw spinach or toast’ both once a week. If you do get some bread, try and get the heaviest brick seed loaf you can find at your local bakery and only use 2-3 slices a week. During the day: You could use leftovers from dinner, soups, curries, stir fry, or salads. You could add some tinned fish, avocado, tofu, or chicken breast, but it’s best to keep it vegetarian if possible. Snack on fruit as you feel the need for energy. You can always make a cup of tea or another smoothie as alternatives. Dinners: It’s good to stick to soups, curries, stir fry, or salads and avoid white rice, pasta, buns, or other alternatives to bread like naan, pita, tacos, tortillas, nachos, etc. Try to only have meat 2-3 times a week or less, and stick to chicken or fish if possible. It’s easier to digest. Increase the spiciness of your meals, as this helps boost metabolic rate.
