5. Helps with Weight Loss
Obesity is now officially a health epidemic across the United States, with one in every three Americans falling into the category of obese or overweight BMI. Obese people have a hard time managing their mobility, and often experience inflammation of the ligaments in the feet and lower limbs, known as “tendonitis.”
Obese and overweight individuals also place themselves in harm’s way by increasing the amount of cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream – which may lead to cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is also an issue for obese individuals, and should they remain untreated for their condition, they may develop “metabolic syndrome,” a term that describes the presence of multiple chronic health disorders that lead to a slowing of the metabolism and a host of health complications.
The lemon oil extract found in thieves oil contains polyphenols known as, “limonoids.” These limonoids enhance the effects of exercise, increasing metabolic rate, helping the obese person burn body fat faster when they exercise.
