Control -- Diet -- Sugar-spiking -- Colon-Cleansing… Naturally!!
Seagate’s freeze-dried Nopal Cactus reabsorbs approx.
50X its dried weight when released into the stomach providing an
immediate feeling of fullness and reducing hunger. Unlike other diet
products that may artificially stimulate the metabolism, giving a
caffeine-like buzz, headache, or that falsely claim to “burn fat”,
Nopal simply and naturally acts like a sponge - absorbing and expanding
upon contact with the water and sugars in the stomach. The absorptive
properties are temporary, allowing the slow release of the water and
sugars, thereby helping to reduce sugar spiking immediately after a
high-sugar meal or drink. The high insoluble fiber content (cellulose
and lignin) absorbs wastes in the intestines and bowels, pushing them
along into and through the colon, making this product an excellent
cleanser.
The Nopal Cactus (Opuntia
strepacantha) is a desert plant that survives intense heat and drought
because of its ability to absorb and retain moisture in the
mucilaginous fiber contained in its large flat spiny leaves. This
insoluble fiber acts as a natural sponge holding the water, vitamins,
minerals and essential amino acids in jelly-like masses contained
within each leaf. Should the leaf become pierced or broken, this
jelly-like mass which stores the cactus water and nutrients (which is
called “baba” in Mexico) protects the cactus from sudden water loss, by
slowly flowing from the leaf, similar to sap from a maple tree.. Upon
contact with the air, the “baba” is able to seal the flow of moisture
from the leaf. |
