     Dandelion root is a natural diuretic and mild laxative. As a diuretic it helps to rid the body of excess salt(sodium) and excess water by helping your kidneys to release more sodium into your urine, which helps remove excess water from your blood. This decreases the amount of fluid flowing through your veins and arteries. This reduces blood pressure. Diuretics can also help when there's too much fluid built up in apart of the body due to heart failure or other medical conditions.
     As a mild laxative it can help the body empty its bowels. Laxatives are usually prescribed to treat constipation. Dandelion Root is a great mild laxative because its high in fiber, especially a type of soluble fiber called inulin. Fiber helps to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Fiber can also help to prevent digestive issues like constipation, hemorrhoids, stomach pains, gastroesophageal reflux disease and stomach ulcers.
     Dandelion root is rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, polyphenols, coumarin and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives. These antioxidants prevent and kill free radicals that can damage cells in the body.
     Dandelion root can also protect the liver from oxidative stress due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
    It also has antimicrobial and antiviral properties that can stop the growth of bacteria and pathogens
    Dandelion root is rich in Vitamin K which helps blood to clot and calcium to help keep bones strong
    The antioxidants in dandelion root can also help protect skin cells from damage from ultraviolet light.
     Dandelion root may also help to kill cancer cells, reduce bad cholesterol levels,
and reduce triglyceride levels in the body.
     WHEN TAKING ANY VITAMIN/HERBAL SUPPLEMENT, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Supplements can bring health benefits but they can also be HARMFUL, if abused or not taken properly.

  1. Eating before you sleep contributes to the excess flab around your waistline and should be eliminated because your body is better at processing food during the day, your stomach will have more time clearing glucose from the blood, which reduces fat storage in your belly
