The Miracle of Safflower Oil
By Donna Cope
A recent study conducted at Ohio State University has found that ordinary safflower oil can dissolve belly fat without diet or exercise! Not only that, but there are other benefits to consuming this miraculous oil. The study conducted at Ohio State showed that two tablespoons of safflower oil (or the equivalent in supplements) taken every day can help people (especially women) lose belly fat as well as lose more weight overall. The researchers found that safflower oil increases production of a hormone called adiponectin. This hormone signals the body to use fat for fuel. For reasons that the scientists and researchers don't understand yet, in the case of women taking safflower oil, the extra fat that gets burned seems to be more targeted to the midsection of the body. Adiponectin also helps the body make less insulin, which stores extra carbs we eat as belly fat. The reduction in belly fat during this studies was quite miraculous.
Safflower is also rich in linoleic acid, which is a healthy monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fats are good if consumed regularly and, according to researchers, can cut your risk of heart disease by up to 45%. Japanese scientists have also found that linoleic acid reduces the likelihood that you have a stroke. Safflower also triggers quick, dramatic reductions in cholesterol for about half of the people tested in a University of California study.
So, how do you get safflower into your diet? Well, safflower oil can be used in cooking or merely taken just like cough syrup. (It doesn't taste as bad as cough syrup either!) Or, there are supplements that contain safflower and can be taken similar to vitamin supplements.
These findings are truly exciting for people who want to lose belly fat. Imagine the results that could be achieved if you also exercised while taking safflower oil. You could make a dramatic change in your life.
